This week has been such a great one! It has been so nice and warm and sunny! We started the week off by discussing our five senses and how we use each one differently. The children closed their eyes while Teacher Clarissa made little noises and they had to hear and guess what sounds she was making. The Crew also enjoyed sticking their hands in a pillowcase (although slightly nervously!) where they then chose a toy with their eyes closed and tried to feel and guess the object. So much fun!

We decided to take a different approach with the kiddies when discussing their senses and so introduced them to braille and sign language! The children stuck diamante onto dots which in braille resembles their name. They had so much fun running their fingers over the bumps and “feeling’’ their names. During snack and lunch, the kiddies were asked what their food tastes like? Salty or sweet?

During cooking we got to smell and taste all different types of foods. Some yucky, some yummy! They all enjoyed this!

We hope you have a great weekend!

Next week’s theme: Health & Hygiene

 

Helpful Tip for the Week!

Saying “please’’ and “thank you’’ to our teachers and friends is very important in the classroom. We believe in treating our friends with care – we love them and they are special to us. We don’t shout at our friends and our motto is: SHARING IS CARING!

 

Dates to Diarise:

 

Mid-Term Break: 25th – 28th Feb

Lots of love

Teacher Clarissa, Teacher Jules and the Curious Crew Assistants

Me and My Body

Me and My Body

he Crew discovered some fun facts, like how their fist is about the same size as their stomach or heart, and two fists together equal the size of their brain. We discussed the stomach and small intestines and the important roles they play. The Crew now knows that our lungs breathe in oxygen, which our organs and muscles need, and that the heart, a muscle itself, pumps blood throughout the body. They also learned that the brain controls everything—from moving our arms and legs to things we don’t even think about!

Travel and Holidays

As we approach the holidays it was very interesting to hear where all the Crew would like to go. There was Scotland, Cape Town, the Bird and Monkey Park, Durban, Kenya, South America, the Kruger, and a few kids want to go to Sun City. I think the Crew are more than ready for their December holidays.
