LETTER

Jj – Jet

We started off this week, talking about different kinds of land air, and sea transport. We also had so much fun pretending to be different kinds of transport. We spread our arms and were super-fast jets, we made “Choo-Choo” sounds for a train, and we blew our horns to be a big ship.

 The Hoppers were given a page and, with a little help from the teachers, folded the paper to make paper aerorplanes. The aeroplanes were then coloured in to decorate them. Our Hoppers were so excited to go test their paper planes outside in our Hoppers’ garden.  

 For our art we incorporated our shape, colour and transport theme into one masterpiece! We sponge painted a diamond shape piece of paper navy blue, the children were given all different kinds of shapes to make a car, boat and an aeroplane to stick onto the paper and we then turned the diamond into a kite.

Our letter for the week was “J-j” and our letter land book was all about Jumping Jim. We all jumped around the classroom like jumping Jim saying different “J” words. Please ask your Hoppers to tell you some words that start with the letter “J’? This was so much fun, and our Hoppers really impressed us when asked for “J” words.

 Our Hoppers are doing so well in learning the concert songs, we are super proud of them. We cannot wait for concert day. So exciting!

 It has been such a great week!

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.
