This has been a busy week full of excitement. 

This is such a wonderful and exciting theme to learn about. The Happy Hoppers loved learning about all the different farm animals and what they eat and drink and where they live on the farm. They also learnt about what mommy, baby and daddy animals are called and what they produce for humans e.g.: wool from sheep.  

For our art, this week we used some shredded paper to collage a picture of a sheep which is a good fine motor activity which strengthens their hand and finger muscles. The Hoppers enjoyed this activity.  

On Friday we went on a tractor ride which the Hoppers enjoyed so much. 

We spent a lot of the week doing assessments. The focus this week was to recognise their name without a picture next to it. Please encourage your little one to recognise their name. if you do write their name please remember to write only the first letter as a capital. Please can you also practise some number recognition with your little Hopper, numbers 1 to 10.

Christmas is such a magical time for preschoolers! Their eyes sparkle at the lights, they giggle at Santa’s stories, and they soak up every moment of togetherness. For little learners, Christmas isn’t just a holiday—it’s a season full of sensory experiences, creativity, imagination, and learning opportunities.

Travel and Holidays

We had some fun discussions and role-play activities about traveling. The Happy Hoppers used their imagination to go on a Holiday with an aeroplane. We re-enacted how to book our tickets, pack our bags, drive to the airport, and check in with our tickets. Lastly, we had a fun fly around with our arms stretched out wide! It truly was so much fun watching them emerge themselves into the activity.

Shopping is something we all do, and it can be a wonderful learning experience for young children! For preschoolers, shopping isn’t just about buying things — it’s about learning, exploring, and understanding the world around them.
