Ww – Winter

Our week was filled with quite a few different and fun activities! We did a combination of cooking and art this week where we made colourful and glittery ice-cubes that we froze with ice-cream sticks. Once frozen, the Crew then used them as paint ‘brushes’ and painted a rainbow. They really enjoyed this activity and had to be told at time to stop otherwise they were going to paint straight throw the page. LOL 

We also did a beautiful ‘Still Life’ painting project. We loved them so much that we have decided to keep them for art Expo. The Crew had to paint the Snowman and fire that was displayed in the front as you came into the school. We placed the display in front of the Crew and instructed them to paint what they saw. Stunning work here Crew we got so see some real artists come out! 

Another amazing little art activity we did this week was a cloud with rainbow rain, stamped with bingo stamps. This was another stunning art piece that we will be keeping for Art Expo. 

This week we learnt about another 3D shape, rectangular-prism. The Crew coloured in and we put together the shape. It really helps the kiddies remember the shape when we have made it. 

Concert practice is coming along really well and we have some super enthusiastic Crew who have taken practice really seriously. We cannot wait for Concert and to show off all our hard work and awesome songs as normal! 

Reports will be going out today with your child’s portfolio of their worksheets from the beginning of the year. Enjoy going through all their hard work and seeing their progress throughout their journey in the Curious Crew class so far. We look forward to the months ahead to really make them count in getting your child Grade R ready.  

Have a wonderful midterm break and we will see everyone on the 8th of July.

Me and My Body

Me and My Body

he Crew discovered some fun facts, like how their fist is about the same size as their stomach or heart, and two fists together equal the size of their brain. We discussed the stomach and small intestines and the important roles they play. The Crew now knows that our lungs breathe in oxygen, which our organs and muscles need, and that the heart, a muscle itself, pumps blood throughout the body. They also learned that the brain controls everything—from moving our arms and legs to things we don’t even think about!

Travel and Holidays

As we approach the holidays it was very interesting to hear where all the Crew would like to go. There was Scotland, Cape Town, the Bird and Monkey Park, Durban, Kenya, South America, the Kruger, and a few kids want to go to Sun City. I think the Crew are more than ready for their December holidays.
