This is one of my favourite themes! We get to explore difference terrains of the world as well as the animals that inhibit their land and the Crew get to have a look at different types of places and animals they may have never heard of before. 

The first place we talked about our favourite wild animals and birds of prey in Africa. 

Next we delved into the Amazon rain forest/Amazon jungle. This is such an amazing place with many interesting facts, like the tree cover is so thick it takes 10mins for the droplets to reach the rainforest floor. It also rains 8 months of the year in the Amazon and spans over 9 counties of South America. The animals we discussed were the Toucan, Anaconda snake, pink river dolphins, poisonous dark frogs as well as jaguars and black panthers. 

Last but not least we explored the icy Artic circle. Because the Arctic circle is right at the top of the Earth it will have one day of complete darkness in winter and a day of complete sunshine in summer. Temperatures in the Artic are as cold as -70 degrees Celsius. I would never survive Brrrrrr! But it is home to many beautiful animals. The polar bear, who’s fur is actually transparent and just appears white because of the reflection of the white snow on its fur. The artic fox, the Harp seal and snowy owl. The narwhal which is the unicorn of the sea. 

Art this week, the Crew got to paint and make a beautiful Giraffe in the Art studio. It was so much fun! 

The theme for Yoga this week was fun-learning-yoga shapes. We used music and movement to do popular yoga poses to learn all about the different shapes. Our song was “You can be what you want to”. Our various shapes included: Star; diamond; square; zig-zag; circle; triangle; oval; straight line; rectangle and curve. We finished off with a quiet relaxation time. 

Thank you teacher Yoga. 

At Fun Fit Sports this week we concentrated on assessment skills. Coach Trevor just knows how to make even assessments fun! The Crew tried out the monkey bars and some were real monkeys!!! 

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
