There is always something new to learn when doing under the sea. There are so many different types of sharks in the sea, like Bullhead sharks and Lemon sharks…how interesting is that!!! We learnt about the coral reef and how each little piece of coral is a living animal and all the animals work together to make the coral reef using pieces of bone from fish and other sea creatures that have died. Parrot fish eat the coral and poop out what we now know as sea sand, we had a good laugh at that fact! We also told the kiddies that they are only allowed to pick up shells and coral if it has been washed up on the beach and not pick it out of the sea. Something different we discussed, using your 5 senses while you are at the beach.  

We have had two weeks of many activities and assessments exploring oceans and the other themes of the week. We started the week’s activities with a little under the sea colouring sheet and it was so awesome to see their imaginations runs wild. Even though we are hard at work with assessments, I have tried to make these activities fun for the Crew. 

The Crew also got to see real shark eggs! How awesome. Each of the Crew will be bringing home a shark egg to keep. 

We have also started name writing with the proper letter formation to grow on previous weeks lessons. This is very important for next year in Grade R! Please practice the SOUND of the letters at home as well as letter recognition putting emphasis on the sound.  

During FFS last week the Crew had been doing assessments with Coach Trevor and WOW I am so impressed with how far the Crew has come over the course of the year. Keep up the hard work Crew! 

At yoga with Teacher Nicole the Crew worked on picture and pose association using a variety of pictures ranging from animals to transport. They also practiced breathwork using numbers and they just LOVE their 3 minutes of relax time at the end of their lesson.  

This was our last week of puzzle challenge, well done to all of our Crew! Certificates and prizes will go out next week to our top 3 Puzzle Challenge winners. 

Next week’s theme: Cooking and Food 

Our Crew!
