I can’t believe we are already in the second week of our first term.  

Our Happy Hoppers have really been so impressive on how they have all settled down so quickly and into our routine. We still have a few tears in the mornings, but they don’t last very long at all. 

This has been a remarkably busy week as we started with our intramurals this week like Yoga and FunFit Sports.  At yoga, this week the new Happy Hoppers met Teacher Nicole for the first time. The Hoppers also met Coach Trevor, our FunFit Sports coach, where he played a colour matching game with the Hoppers. 

We learnt all about our bodies and how they work. We sang and learnt some action songs like ‘Head Shoulders Knees and Toes,’ and ‘This is the Way We Take a Bath.’ 

Our Art activity was so much fun; the Hoppers made a body with different recyclable shapes. The teachers cut out the shapes and the Hoppers glued their shapes to form bodies.  

The Hoppers are still learning about our school and where the different classes are, we had our first visit to the library and took out our first book, this was an extremely exciting activity for our little ones. I am so proud of them! 

  It has really been a tremendous start to the beginning of our year with lots of activities enjoyed by all.

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.
