Hello Mom’s and Dad’s. Welcome back!  I hope you have all had a well-rested mid-term break. It was so lovely seeing all these precious little faces again.

This week we are learning all about Reptiles. The children were so fascinated by all the cool facts on Reptiles!

We started our chilly week with some action songs to get our bodies warmed up!

For Art, the children did a cut and paste activity where they tore green pieces of paper onto a tortoise. They also started making their crocodiles for art out of egg cartons.

On Tuesday the children did a fun sensory activity using rice, where we hid different types of reptiles in the rice and the kiddos had to look for them.

We made reptile homes using wooden blocks which the children really enjoyed.

We had FunFit sports with Coach Trevor where our hoppers played dodge ball which was such a favourite!

On Wednesday we coloured in pasta using wax crayons and threaded it on a piece of string masking snake necklaces.

Our Hoppers are really working hard at concert practice, well done! 

Have a lovely weekend!

 

 

 

See you all on Monday!

Hoppers got to experiment with some ice! They each got a chance to put a few drops of food colouring into water in an an ice tray. We waited for it to freeze and then each child got a chance to draw with their different colour ice.
