We have had a jam-packed week completing assessments. Please note that there will not be many art pieces going home as the assessments have taken up a lot of our time this week.

 We started this week off with a continuation of the farm. We spoke about farm animals and the type of animals we find on a farm.

 As we are learning about Farm Animals this week, we decided to teach the children about the life cycle of a chicken! We discussed this concept and watched a video. For our art piece we created the life cycle of a chicken, this was a sequenced art piece which promoted critical thinking, problem solving and fine motor skills. Our Hoppers created such amazing work that we will be keeping them for Art Expo!

 For cooking on Wednesday, the children made “pigs in a blanket”, these were scrumptious!

 On Friday, Tallyn from Busy Bugs, brought two little lambs for everyone to see. He showed us how he feeds them milk with a baby bottle. Our kiddies absolutely loved this experience!

 Please remember to dose up your little ones with extra vitamins, it is getting a lot colder and there are lots of germs going around.

 Our theme next week is: Wild Animals and Birds of Prey

Have a safe and lovely weekend!

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

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.

Shops and Shopping

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.
