Hello Parents!

This week we continued to learn all about the farm and farm animals. Our shapes for the week were a circles and spheres, the colour was red, the number was 4 and our letter was ‘f’. our Monday started off with naming farm animals and discussing what they eat.  

We got creative and made a sheep out of a CD.  Teacher Anita did a very creative sensory activity with the children which she spoke about chickens. What they have on their bodies, what they eat and where they live. The children all had an opportunity to draw their own chicken. They then added feathers, birds seeds, egg shells and sand to their art piece! 

On Wednesday we finished off some art. We practiced for our concert and we worked on our fine motor skills strengthening our fingers with some playdough.  

On Thursday we did a tear and paste activity where the children had to use their fine motor skills to tear and paste paper and stick it onto a template.  

We did some fun action songs and built puzzles!

The childrenhad FunFit Sports with Coach Trevor. Our Happy Hoppers had to catch, throw and kick a ball testing their gross motor skills. Coach Trevor also tested if they can cross their midline. 

We also went on a much loved nature walk! 

Friday we had yoga, fabulous show and tell and a trip to the library. 

For numeracy the children had to count how many farm animal pictures they see and put it on the correct number.We did some sensory activities drawing numbers in the sand.  

Have a lovely weekend!
