What a fun two weeks of learning all about dinosaurs! 

There was so much knowledge for our Happy Hoppers to absorb, and WOW! They did so well! 

They learnt all about the diverse types of dinosaurs … ones that used to swim and ones that used to fly, even though not all flying dinosaurs had feathers. They even remembered big words like Pterodactyl, Pterosaurs, Paleontologist and when the first fossils were discovered (over two hundred years ago!) 

We listened to some fun songs with even more information about dinosaurs. Even our worksheets were dinosaur themed! During these two weeks we concentrated on cutting skills, drawing of shapes, counting and colours. Our beautiful artwork of a dinosaur shadow will be displayed at the Art show. Our Happy Hoppers are getting so excited to show all their creativity! 

For FunFit Sports this week, Coach Trevor carried on improving our hand-eye coordination with catching and batting. Our Happy Hoppers are getting so good with this activity. 

Yoga Day was all about dinosaurs too!

We marched and stomped, roared, rolled around in happy baby pose and calmed our breath like a baby Dinosaur. 

Ending off with a sequence of tree, cat, cow, dog, snake poses. 

Enjoy the well-deserved break! It was a busy term. We can’t wait for the new adventures that lie ahead for Term 3. 

 

Have a wonderful holiday folks!

Wild Animals and Birds of Prey

Wild Animals and Birds of Prey

This has been a delightful week learning all about wild animals and birds of prey. The Hoppers really enjoyed this theme so much. Wild Animals are such fascinating creatures that live in their natural habitats, such as forests deserts, and oceans. We spoke about the big five and all the other animals we can find in the parks. We discussed where they live and what they eat. We also asked the Hoppers which is their favourite animal. We got lots of different answers. The lion was on the top of the list; well, I guess after all he is the king of the jungle.

We started off this week chatting about Easter. This is such a wonderful time of year, and the kids are all just so excited as we told them about a surprise that we got on Thursday. We went on an Easter egg hunt the Hoppers hopped into action and found so many Easter eggs. This was so much fun.
