Dear Hopper Parents

This week was all about families! We discussed our theme: My Family, and who is in our family. We drew pictures of our families, some of the Hoppers who do not have siblings were adamant to draw a brother or sister too!

After our discussion about who is in our family, each Hopper chose a family member template indicating who “lives under their roof”. Once coloured in, the template got added to their family roof, which represents our shape of the week.

We just love chatting about families as we always get to hear about the “hundreds of dogs” or “many cats” that are part of their families! Safe to say, there is never a dull moment during Ring Time discussions, our Hoppers are so entertaining!

 We had a free play day with construction blocks and puppets. Free play activities are just as important as structured activities, as it allows the children to use their imaginations and explore. It also allows the children to work on their social skills such as sharing and communicating their feelings.

Next week’s theme is: My House

Have a safe and lovely weekend folks!

 

 

 

 

Magic!

For our number activity we mixed red and blue paint which made purple paint.

We then painted a number 7 and counted out 7 objects to paste onto our number 7. 

Mixing colours is always so much fun and magical, we just love seeing the kids reactions towards the colour change! 

 

 Dates to Diarise:

 

Pet Demo: 15 March

Haircut Day: 16 March

Human Rights Day: 21 March (Public Holiday)

Lots of love

Father’s Day and Sport

We had so much fun discussing how special our dads are and what role they play in our families. We also discussed that some families don’t have daddies and that is fine cause moms are also there to love and help us. We love all our families big and small. We spoke about sports that some daddies like to watch or take part in like soccer, rugby, swimming, gym etc. it was great to hear these little Hoppers tell us how they feel about their dads.

The Farm: Farm Animals

This is such a wonderful and exciting theme to learn about. The Happy Hoppers loved learning about all the different farm animals and what they eat and drink and where they live on the farm. They also learnt about what mommy, baby and daddy animals are called and what they produce for humans e.g.: wool from sheep.
