We would like to welcome everyone back from a much deserved break. We look forward to a busy but fun Term 3! 

The last two weeks we learnt all about Spring, Plants and Trees. 

The Hoppers liked to learn how spring brings blossoms to the trees. They enjoyed learning that a bud turns into a blossom, which in turn becomes fruit. The importance of trees, and all the amazing things trees can provide us. We observed what in our environment is made from wood. 

For art we decorated our handmade paper, it was so fun to see how we can reuse paper into such a beautiful new piece. We did some paper plate sponging and went on a nature walk to collect sticks. We made a blossom tree by printing with bubble wrap and used the sticks we collected to finish off this amazing piece of art. 

As a life skill, we learnt to grate. It was so refreshing to smell and taste the freshly grated lemons! All the Hoppers did so well with this life skill. 

The Hoppers enjoyed a song for Yoga that got them standing up straight, balancing on one leg and working on their warrior 1 and 2 pose. We practiced our bear, snake and candle breathing techniques. Finishing off with a simple sequence of: tree, cat, cow and dog poses. What a fun class! 

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend with the weather becoming hotter after a cold week. Enjoy the wonderful colours and smells the new season brings us. 

Our Hoppers!
