Weekly Blog 

This week had to be one of our most fun-filled weeks to date! There was so much excitement, so much learning, and so many special moments packed into each day. 

Theme: Pets 

We were lucky enough to have three days of incredible pet demos, and what an experience it was! The children saw everything from hedgehogs to chameleons to the furriest, fluffiest dogs. There were lots of “oohs” and “aahs” and very curious little faces. 

Through this, we learnt about how to take care of our pets, what different pets eat, and the different homes and shelters they need. It was such a special, hands-on way to bring the theme to life. 

Language & Phonics 

This week we focused on the letter “p” and continued practicing our alphabet phonemes. I must say, Crew is really acing this — it’s so lovely to see their confidence growing as they recognise sounds so quickly. 

Numeracy 

For numeracy, we did a fun twist on number recognition using pop-its and ten-frames. A number was written on the board, and our little learners had to identify the number and then pop it out on their ten-frame. They absolutely loved this activity, and it was such a great way to reinforce number identification in a playful way. 

Art 

Art was just as exciting this week. The children created the most beautiful parrots, full of colour and personality, as well as some very funky fish bowls for Art Expo. There has been so much effort and creativity going into these pieces — they are really something special. 

Music & Concert Prep 

We have also started practicing our concert songs, and the excitement is already building! The children are loving the music, and we can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on. 

Although this week may have felt short in terms of time, it was absolutely jam-packed with incidental learning, excitement, and hands-on experiences. 

What a special week it has been in Crew — and we are so excited for what’s still to come 💛
