This week we discussed houses, how each of our houses are different, and what kinds of rooms are found in our house. We also spoke about gardens and what kind of rooms could be found in the garden, such as a tool shed or garage.  

We practiced our letter of the week “h” and the sound it makes. We learnt that “h” stands for Harry Hatman in our Letterland story book. We also looked for objects around the class that start with the letter “h”   

We carried on with our integrated theme art project. Last week we coloured in our family members and painted triangles, this week we painted a square with a big paint brush. We painted a big A3 cardboard with some fun painting techniques. Our Hoppers sponge painted the sky and used a fork to paint grass. After they were dry the Hoppers pasted our squares and triangles to make the house and then stuck the family members to the picture, we added a door and windows to the house and they even have a house number. These are looking amazing and will finish them with the final additions with next week’s theme “Pets.”  

On Thursday for cooking, we made a lovely, sweet treat of a house. We used a tennis biscuit for the square of the house, straight pretzels for the roof, a piece of KitKat for the door and some smarties for the windows.   

Happy Hoppers Yoga Day!  Yay for yoga!

This week’s pose was the forward bend!  

Benefits of forward bending: *Improves digestion  *Stretches and removes tension in the spine and neck  

*Increases blood flow   

It has been a super busy week with lots of fun activities and excitement in the Happy Hopper classroom.  PLEASE DON’T SEND TOYS TO SCHOOL. 

Our theme next week is: My Pets
