Welcome to the Curious Crew class of 2022! Wow what an awesome first week we have had. We have all made it through the first week, yes even you parents! The first couple of weeks can be so hard and emotional as everyone adjusts to all the changes. The kiddies are such troopers and we are so proud of how they have adapted and taken it in their stride.

We kicked off the week with taking the time to get to know each other in the classroom. We learnt some class and school rules that are there to make school a safe and happy place for us all. The children amazed us with their existing knowledge on the alphabet and counting. We coloured in a picture of ‘the first day of school’ – which they did so beautifully.  We made a school bag/briefcase and filled it with the activities that we got up to this week. We did a free drawing, a cover photo of our classroom, and finger dot traced the letter Aa. The Crew practiced their cutting skills by cutting out pictures that took their fancy, and they traced and practiced writing their names, wow we are so impressed with them!

Our days were filled with lots of interactive play, free play and activities, and of course story time which is a firm favourite!

All the children have settled into their new class so well and we look forward to what is to come this year! Let’s have a wonderful year!

Have a great and restful weekend everyone. We look forward to welcoming the Crew on Monday for week two.

 

 

A Breath of Fresh Air!

We took the Crew on a nature walk to find bits and bobs for our art project. This was so much fun and the children loved bringing nature back into the classroom.

Dates to Diarise:

Haircut Day  – 19 January

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.
