Another action-packed week full of busy amazing activities in our Hopper classroom. Our Happy Hoppers had a fun week learning and an engaging week in the classroom discussing our five senses.  

Throughout the week we worked on a progressive art piece where the kids created a texture board. We started with a discussion about each of our five senses and the purpose they serve.  

Our art was fun as we painted the kiddies’ hands and some of them told us it tickled their hands. They made four handprints each and after that we placed a different object on each hand to represent something hard, soft, smooth, and rough.  

They had so much fun talking about the five senses and loved telling Teacher Cecilia that the eyes are to see beautiful things, sometimes not so beautiful, our sense of sight, the nose for the sense of smell, ears for the sense of hearing, the mouth for the sense of taste and the hands for the sense of touch! We just love it when our Hoppers can tell us all about what they are learning about during Ring Time! We still have some shy little people, but this will surely improve with time.  

They experienced a fun activity where they got to taste all sorts of different tastes. The expressions on our cute Hopper faces were so funny and super rememberable.  

The Hoppers were remarkably busy this week attending extra murals demos, learning dancing, and singing lots of action songs.  

YAY YOGA DAY is always so much fun with Teacher Nicole, our Hoppers just love her so much. Happy Hoppers Yoga Day 💙 

Breathing exercises: pom pom blowing using our balloon breath for hard and far blowing and using our peace breath for slow and calming blowing.  

Our yoga song: 

It’s a Marvelous day – which is a flow sequence of 8 yoga poses. 

Closing off with resting pose whilst listening to bubble popping sounds 🫧🫧 

Our theme next week is Health and Hygiene. Have a safe and lovely weekend!
