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.
