It has been a great successful week in the Curious Crew class! The Crew are so comfortable in there new environment and are all enjoy coming to school with very few tears. We had a great learning week with our theme having so much to discuss regarding our bodies and learning about important body parts like our hearts , lungs , kidneys etc .

We did quite a few art activities this week. Teacher Clarissa really thought of a fun and exciting way to explain the components of blood using a plastic bottle and

  • Red Orbeez for blood
  • Red plastic for red blood cells
  • Polystyrene balls for white blood cells
  • Yellow food colouring in water for Plasma

This week we focused on tracing and practicing our name writing , as well as our cutting skills , this is something that will be a main focus throughout the week.

Helpful tips of the week: The most important rule in our class is to ‘Keep your hands to yourself’ (Our action for this, when telling the Crew, is giving themselves a hug). As much fun as it is to hang on to and hold our friends, most of the time it ends up in tears rather than smiles. If you as parents could please chat to your children at home about this rule and respecting their friends’ personal space, class time and playtime will run much smoother.

Next week’s theme: My senses

Dinosaurs – Under the Soil

Amongst the many different activities we have completed this week, we did a fossil like Pterodactyl made out of pasta. The Crew had to copy the example, planning where to glue next and how many pieces of pasta they would need. It came out really beautifully.

Space

Space is always such an exciting and interesting theme which we can expand so much on. The Crew have a good understanding of space and it was great to go into the finer detail about space. This week our ring times have been extra-long because there is just so much information on space.

For art this week, we decided it would be a cool idea for the Crew to make their own Reptile booklets. We set out a displayed and instructed the children to draw first in black as the outline and then to colour in the pictures they had drawn. These came out so beautifully and we have decided to keep them for Art Expo.
