We had an action-packed week, we’re sure the Hoppers must be exhausted from all the fun that was had.  

 We started off the week revising our letter of the week. We sang and danced to our jolly phonics letters and read our letter land book ,Lucy Lamp Lady. After our story, we went around the class and each Hopper got to tell us a word starting with the letter “L’’. Well done, Hoppers! 

For our Art this week the Hoppers coloured in a snake and practiced their cutting skills and cut their snake into a spiral. I am so proud of our Hoppers, they did a fantastic job! This was a fun fine motor skills activity, and the children were incredibly happy with their snakes. 

 We focused a lot on number recognition 1 to 10. This is very important to be able to achieve this skill before going to Curious Crew next year so please keep practising Hoppers. 

The highlight of the week was the reptile show. Julian from Wild Ones showed us his amazing and wonderful animals. The huge tarantula was a hit as well as the snakes. 

On Friday for Yoga, we practiced our Reptile Yoga poses. We also focused a lot on spinal twist exercises, which activates the spinal nerves and enhances flexibility and blood circulation. 

Concert practice has been in full swing this week; our Hoppers are doing so well. We are so proud of them and cannot wait for the big day! I’m sure most of you already know all our songs, so happy to hear our Hoppers are practicing at home. Keep it up!   

Our theme next week is: Space
