Vv – Vegetables

Wow another week that has just flown by so quickly. We learnt all about farm produce. What an important fruit and vegetable s are and how they are grown and looked after on the farm. The Hoppers were quite surprised to learn how much work goes into looking after the fruit and vegetables on the farm. 

We told the Hoppers that it is super important to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. We heard a lot of stories about what their favourite fruit and vegetables are. For art, this week we did some tearing and sticking of an apple which is so important to strengthen their finger muscles.  

Cooking we concentrated on the skill on stirring we made some delicious strawberry Nesquick milkshakes. The Hoppers just loved this, and it was so cute to see their milky moustaches. 

At yoga, this week we worked on picture and pose association. There were a variety of pictures with animals and numbers. We matched our poses according to the pictures according to the number of breaths according to the numbers on the picture. We also listened to a new song called “I am a mountain tall and strong. 

At FunFit Sports with coach Trevor with carried on with our assessments. The Hoppers had to practise hopping on one leg and standing on one leg for more than 2 seconds. We also practised catching a bouncing ball and throwing a ball overhand. 

PLEASE can we ask that you label all water bottles as we don’t always know whose bottle is whose when we are outside as there are so many kids all together.  

Remember to give your Hoppers lots of Vitamins and NOT to send sick kids to school. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Peace Out Folks!

Travel and Holidays

The Happy Hoppers used their imagination to go in 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 the children emerge themselves into the activity.

Cooking and Food

This week was all about cooking and boy did we have fun! For our first activity we focused on our fine motor skills by threading fresh fruit onto skewers. Our fruit kebabs were enjoyed by all the Happy Hoppers. Next, we had our taste buds dancing by creating our very own Calzones. We used wraps as the base, and the kids could choose their own toppings to put on. There was only one word for them: Yum!
