This week the Curious Crew class had the best time with the theme! We had a great amount of fun during ring time, speaking about our favourite reptiles , and we discussed what  reptiles are , and what makes a reptile a reptile. We spoke about them having cold blood and a hard skin , and that they lay eggs too. We also discussed their living environment and how they differ. 

AND we had a SUPER awesome visitor on Wednesday at school , we had the coolest reptiles come visit us at school and we got to touch and hold different reptiles, it was hands down the best day of the week. 

For art this week , we had so much fun ! We made our very own reptile booklets , which we had the best time creating, and we made the cutest hexagon Turtles, each child had to colour in , and cut out their own hexagons , and make their own turtles , we loved how each turtle came out so differently and beautifully. 

YOGA 

Welcome back after our mid-term break 

After doing our warm ups and stretches, we played broken telephone. 

The benefits of this game are: 

Improved communication and listening skills by encouraging kids to listen and focus to the words being said and to correctly relay the information to their friend. 

We had some very funny messages being passed along. One sentence in particular ” the yellow sun shines” came out at as “the yellow donkey” 

Heart matters 

In Heart Matters this week , Teacher Hela spoke about expected and unexpected reactions and emotions. She explained how things can happen unexpectedly and then we react accordingly to that action. 

FUNFIT SPORTS 

This week we had a super fun lesson with coach Trevor , he hyped us up so much , and really ensured we enjoyed our lessons with him. 

For the boys , they were divided into two teams , and they were placed with a bucket full of balls, and then coach Trevor called out a colour , and the teams had to take out all the colour balls before the time ran out. 

For the girls , the girls climbing skills were put to the test , each girl was given a small amount of time to climb up and climb back down before the buzzer went off. 

It was overall a fun and very educational week for the Curious Crew.

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

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.
