Tt – Trees

We would like to welcome everyone back after a well deserves break. We look forward to a jam-packed Term 3. 

The last two weeks we learnt all about Spring, Plants, Trees Wood and Paper. 

The Hoppers enjoyed learning about spring, blossoms and trees. They enjoyed learning that a bud turns into a blossom, which in turn becomes fruit. The importance of trees, and all the amazing things trees can provide us. We observed in our environment what is made from wood.  

For art we painted some wooden bases cut from branches that we are going to use to make a toadstool for our amazing art show in October. We went of a nature walk to collect sticks. We made a blossom tree by printing with bubble wrap and used the sticks we collected to finish off this amazing piece of art.  

We did some fun baking. The Hoppers made a flower using a Marie biscuit and then they iced it and decorated it with smarties and mints.  

The Hoppers had a lovely music lesson where they learnt all about patterns and beats using different mediums. This fun activity offered so many benefits like listening and concentration. Gross and fine motor development and creativity. Music is such a lovely way to express themselves in a fun and playful way. 

Please remember our upcoming hat parade with the theme being Alice in wonderland {mad hatters tea party} Please remember these hats will be displayed at our art show in October. 

 Happy Hoppers yoga!  

Today was all about balance moving from 1 pose to the next balancing only on 1 leg. 

Our pose sequence:

It is a difficult sequence for the little Hoppers, but they tried their best and did so well. Followed by breathwork and relaxation 😌 

Have a wonderful weekend.

Health and Hygiene

This week we became health and hygiene heroes 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ We learnt how to take a bath, why brushing our teeth and hair is so important, and how to use the toilet hygienically. The children loved our pretend tooth-brushing activity where we brushed away sneaky germs and plaque, and we sang “This is the way we brush our teeth” with big smiles and wiggly bodies!
