Our final week of Term 1 has arrived and what a lovely way to end it 💛 

This week was all about finishing off our beautiful art pieces and getting lots of practise in for our concert songs and dances. As we keep saying in class, practise really does make permanent, and the children have worked so hard. 

We filled our days with singing, dancing, painting, crafting, playing and plenty of giggling, and honestly, there is no better way to end a term than like that. 

Our theme this week was Trees. We spent time reading folktales about trees and chatting about the life they bring to the world, from leaves and shade to all the little creatures that depend on them. 

One of our most special art activities this term happened this week. The children we given frames that had the middle covered with sticky tape. We then went on a nature walk, where their only instruction was to fill their frame with things they found beautiful or special. 

It was so lovely to watch them take their time, walking around and carefully choosing their pieces. Whether it was a stick, a flower, a dandelion or something tiny they spotted, each child found their own “just right” treasures. We spent a good 40 minutes outside exploring and collecting, and the end results were just beautiful and so meaningful. 

 

What a truly special term this has been. I am so proud of our Crew and how much they have grown. 

Have a wonderful holiday and a well deserved rest  
We will see you all in Term 2!

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.

We also did a measurement activity where the children had to arrange flowers from smallest to tallest. There was lots of comparing and double-checking which flower was bigger or smaller, and the kiddos did a great job figuring it out.
