This week was a jam-packed week with lots of fun activities! We took the Crew outside into the fresh air and drew our shape, letter and number of the week with chalk. We did some perceptual exercises and practiced drawing our shapes. We did some cutting out along lines and extended this to cutting out diamonds which the Crew stuck onto a snake – and we found out that even some children have a snake as a pet!

Everyone loved telling us about their pets at home and it was so exciting when some of the children brought their cute pets to show all of us! Seeing their excitement and pride for their animals was so sweet! We read some lovely stories this week, all about pets and courage and our letter of the week P. Thank you to Ariana for bringing some great books for us to read!

We made cute origami puppy faces that the children folded all by themselves – we are so proud of them! We continued to work on fine motor and pencil grip with various exercises. This is so important and we encourage you to keep working on this at home too 😊

We made a dog/cat tag for an imaginary pet that the children each had to name. We loved some of the names that they came up with, their sense of humor and imaginations are so awesome! We then threaded them onto collars that we made which turned out to be so cute! We might just keep these for art expo too 😉

We started training for our Sports Day at FunFit Sports which was so much fun! We can’t wait to see how the Crew perform on the day!

During Cooking we made biscuits for doggies! So please give them to your dogs if you have any. Thank you to those who brought their pets to show this week. The children really did love it!

Next week’s theme: Occupations and those that help us.

Have a wonderful weekend!

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.
