Rr – Recycling

I can’t believe we are almost at the end of June already. It feels like just the another day our new Hoppers had just started school.  

This week was all about recycling. This is a huge favourite for our Ecokids as this is what we are all about. Looking after our world is so important. We spoke about what it means to recycle. This isn’t an easy concept for our Hoppers to understand but we are sure they got the just of it by the end of the week. We sang lots of recycling songs and they definitely know the words REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE. 

Our art activity was a huge hit this week as we made our own recycled paper. We used paper shedding and water in a huge basin. The Hoppers had so much fun mixing and stirring the paper into the water. Some Hoppers loved the feeling mixing the paper and water together and others not so much. 

We went on a lovely nature walk to collect all sorts of sticks and pinecones but mostly to check if our school is clean and pick up papers.  

At Yoga, the Hoppers worked on their bilateral integration [2 sides of the body working together to perform a task in a co-ordinated way] 

Please remember not to send sick children to school. Pump them up with a lot of vitamins. 

LABEL ALL BELONGINGS. 

Have a wonderful weekend. 

See you all on Monday.

Next week’s theme is Winter, Temperatures, Fire, and Ice 

 

Recycling turns things into other things ... which is like MAGIC!

    

 Dates to Diarise:

28 June: Book Character Dress Up Day & Mid Term Break Up Day

8 July: Back To School

 

Lots of love

Trees, Plants, Wood and Paper

We spoke about the different kinds of trees and went on a nature walk, where the children observed leaves and explored the environment around them. They also placed paper against the bark of trees and drew over it to notice the patterns and textures. The children enjoyed feeling the different textures and collecting leaves, branches and bark.

This week we learned about another special topic. All about My Pets. The children started off  this week to a very exciting pet demo where the children had the opportunity to bring their very own pet from home and show their classmates. During ring time we discussed the importance of looking after and caring for our pets.
