What a fun filled week we’ve had in Crew! 

This week our theme was Farm Animals, and we had the best time learning about all the different animals you may find on a farm, from llamas to chickens and ducks. There were lots of interesting conversations, curious questions and plenty of learning happening throughout the week. 

Our art table was extra busy this week with some truly spectacular creations. 

We created a beautiful collaborative art piece inspired by an Australian artist. This piece encouraged our Crew to work together, share ideas and contribute towards one big masterpiece. We absolutely cannot wait for you to see the final result at our Art Expo. Trust us, it is worth the wait! 

We also made the coolest and quirkiest little chickens in town. Each chicken came out with its own little personality, and we love seeing how every child’s creativity shines through. 

To end off our very creative art week, we completed directed drawing piggies. The children followed step by step instructions as they created their drawings, and we were so impressed with how they listened carefully and trusted the process. 

For our fine motor activities this week, we completed a colour by number activity, helping us practice number recognition, concentration and attention to detail. 

We also completed a special two-part activity. On the first day, our Crew carefully coloured in their tractors, and on the second day they had to cut out the pieces and rebuild their tractor by sticking it down in the correct order. 

This activity was a wonderful way to practice sequencing and problem solving skills. The children had to think carefully about what came next, how the pieces fitted together and how to complete the final picture, just like solving a puzzle. Activities like this help develop planning, logical thinking and patience. 

We also completed a matching activity, strengthening our observation skills and encouraging the children to look carefully at similarities and differences. 

Shjoe! Our Crew have been incredibly busy this week, but they have had so much fun learning, creating and growing along the way. 

What a special week on the farm!
