Pp – Pride

We had so much fun discussing the different countries and cultures this week. We had a look at other flags and all their different colours. Our week was mainly discussion-based. Every day, we asked a few children for the name of a country… we got some exciting country names, including Benoni a few time!

We made a class poster for our art with all the Hopper’s little handprints. They each got to colour in the handprint beautifully and we discussed with the children that we are all the same even if we come from different cultures and how we can all make a difference in our beautiful country and worldwide. Multi-culturism means “ALL IN ONE!” We love how our poster came out and will also be displayed at the Art Expo. 

We had our famous braai for cooking this week, and I’m sure you all heard about it. They were so excited to braai their wors rolls for lunch, and they went down very well. Nothing beats a delicious boerewors roll.

On Tuesday, for yoga, the children did yoga to a new song, “Scaly Little Snake”. This was so much fun. They did the snake pose, elephant, bear, cat, frog, and happy children poses. Our Hoppers also did a few spinal twist poses and finished off listening to dolphin sounds for quiet time. 

We have also been working on our art pieces for the Art Expo. We are so excited for this event to take place and show off all our work. Please remember to purchase your tickets! 

Thank you to all our parents for making such beautiful hats for our hat parade on Friday. We had so much fun, and all our hoppers were excited to walk and show off their fabulous hats. 

Have a safe and lovely week. 

 

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Travel and Holidays

The Happy Hoppers used their imagination to go in a Holiday with an aeroplane. We re-enacted how to book our tickets, pack our bags, drive to the airport, and check in with our tickets. Lastly, we had a fun fly around with our arms stretched out wide! It truly was so much fun watching the children emerge themselves into the activity.

Cooking and Food

This week was all about cooking and boy did we have fun! For our first activity we focused on our fine motor skills by threading fresh fruit onto skewers. Our fruit kebabs were enjoyed by all the Happy Hoppers. Next, we had our taste buds dancing by creating our very own Calzones. We used wraps as the base, and the kids could choose their own toppings to put on. There was only one word for them: Yum!
