We have 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 Light. After our story, we went around the class and each Hopper got to tell us a word starting with the letter “L’’. We got some interesting words like Liquorice, Leg, Lego, Lips, and Listen. Well done, Hoppers!

 We did a very cool progressive art piece where created amazing, beaded snakes. This was a fun fine motor skills activity where the children got to thread beads and pieces of straws onto twisted pieces of wire. We then added a head and we had beautiful, beaded snakes.

 The highlight of the week was the reptile show. Julian from Wild Ones showed us all of his amazing and wonderful animals. The huge tarantula “Spinderella” was a hit as well as the snakes and the cute little Chinchilla.

 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, we are so happy to hear our Hoppers are practicing at home. Keep it up!  

Have a safe and lovely weekend!

Yoga Day was all about dinosaurs too! We marched and stomped, roared, rolled around in happy baby pose and calmed our breath like a baby Dinosaur.

 We had a lot of fun with this theme and really tapped into our imagination chatting about space. The Hoppers learnt so much about Space. We did some fun activities like catching a star with tweezers hidden in a bucket of beads. This is such a wonderful fine motor activity. We also tried to copy and create our own planets with loose parts, this was great fun.
