Hello Moms and Dads!

This week we learned all about Caring for our Environment and Recycling.

We started off our week asking the children if they knew what recycling was, and they really impressed me! We spoke about the different bins that we have for recycling, paper, plastic, metal and glass. The Happy Hoppers then went for a walk to see our Eco Kids Recycling station with real different colour bins! They were so interested to see what was in the different bins. We then took them on a nature walk, looking around to see if we could see any litter.

We did an activity with 3 bins where the children had to paste paper, plastic and metal on the correct bin. This was fun!

We danced to some action songs to warm our bodies up in this chilly weather and on Tuesday we also had a fun day. We watched a clip called A Whale’s Tale which taught the Happy hoppers all about how rubbish and litter effect the environment.

For out numeracy activity each child got a number 6 that they coloured in and then had to paste 6 objects on the number. We then had Funfit sports with Coach Trevor where our Hoppers practiced throwing a ball and did batting.

On Wednesday we started the morning with testing our balancing skills. The children walked zig zag through cones balancing a bean bag on their heads. For art the Hoppers made a recycled piggy bank made out of a plastic bottle. 

On Thursday we had a very exciting morning, where we got an opportunity to sit in the kitchen and watch and observe Chef Thembi. She showed the children how to make scrambled eggs and took us through the process. The Hoppers each had a turn to even crack the eggs themselves and thoroughly enjoyed this activity!

On Friday we started off with much loved library. The children then did show and tell and we took them to the recycling station where they each got a chance to weigh their recycling materials.  

Another Fun week! 

A friendly reminder next week Monday is a school holiday and Tuesday a public holiday. 

Have a lovely long weekend! 

Our Hoppers!
