This week we learned about all the different types of Transport – Land, Air and Sea.  

We started off the week by doing a sensory activity, where the children each had the opportunity to play with different types of cars, trains and aeroplanes using baking flour. They made stencils, and had such fun! 

We had two different art activities this week. For the first activity we painted paper plates where our Happy Hoppers painted the sky on one half, and the road on the other half. They then coloured in a picture of a car to add onto the paper plate, making the car look like its moving! For our second art activity the children painted toilet rolls and made aeroplanes.

The children then did another fun, hands on activity, where they covered the car’s wheels in paint and stencilled the tyres onto paper leaving such cool tyre tracks!

We sang songs relating to the theme of the week and the children counted unifix cubes for our numeracy activity and did some number recognition.

We had Fun fit Sports with Coach Trevor where our Hoppers got to throw balls into an object. We practiced catching and throwing.  The children enjoyed doing some action songs, moving their bodies. 

We had fabulous yoga with Teacher Nicole and had amazing show and tell.  

YAY FOR YOGA 

We did tissue blowing which encourages deep breathing exercises.  

This teaches the yogis breath control.  

Catching the tissue in the air develops hand eye co ordination  

Lots of giggles and laughter 

Have a HAPPY weekend!
