This week in the Curious Crew class , we enjoyed our daily theme discussions , we spoke about different kind of animals we get that we can keep as pets , and we also took the time to discuss the different needs that these pets have , we spoke about how snakes , lizard and spiders need a tank/cage and how a fish would need a fish tank etc.

We focused quite a lot on our number letter and colour of the week too , practicing rhymes and counting everyday. We took the time and practiced counting and stopping at number 9 , the class was very determined to get this right.

For Art this week , we made a very cute little origami art puppy to add to our , and original Art piece using cereal boxes homes we made last week. 🐶

This week we tried something new , and boy oh boy did the class impress us with their writing skills. So each child had the option on which word they wanted to write, they could either choose a word using our letter of the week , or they could choose a pet eg; Pink or Cat , and they had to copy the word onto their piece of paper using the correct letter formation. They did so so well. And they loved the challenge !!

Another fun activity we did was based on visual perception, the class was given a paper with overlapping images and they had to only colour in the cat and the bunny. This helps with foreground and background skills.

FUNFIT SPORTS

This week coach Dave was focusing on our sports day preparation; we went through every single station that will be set up on the day , and we went through what will be done on our fun sports day !!!!

HEART MATTERS

This week our heart matters lesson was very cute and original, teacher Hela used two toilet rolls to demonstrate how we feel when we’re in our red zone and in our green zone of emotions. And we then practiced ways on how to get from our red zone to our green zone. The class absolutely LOVED decorating their toilet rolls , we had some beautiful art pieces. Thank you teacher Hela for the wonderful activities on this !

Overall it was a wonderful week filled with so much laughter , fun and adventures !

Please remember that next week is a 3 day week. Stay safe and see everyone on Wednesday.

Insects and Bees; Frogs and Ponds, Rivers and Dams

For art this week, we made amazingly beautiful bug jars. The Crew were instructed to colour in their bug jars and different types of critters to go inside. We cut the inside of the jar out and laminated the bugs inside. We will be keeping them for art expo to display them in the prettiest kind of way.

Countries and Cultures

We thought it would be super fun for the Crew to mix things up a bit for Show and Tell and explore sharing facts on different countries. Teacher Tegan made a list of countries and numbered them. She then created a digital wheel and each Crew member got to spin the wheel to see what number and country they would have to find facts one. Show and tell this week is going to be so much FUN! And we will be taking videos of the facts presented to the class.

Spring, Flowers & Planting; Trees, Plants, Wood & Paper

In the spirit of Spring we needed to take advantage of all the bright colours that come with Spring. We decided that a pretty Spring flower still life painting would be a great activity as our first art piece for the 3rd term. It was beautiful to see how the Crew used lots of different colours and took their time to create these beautiful masterpieces.
