This has been a delightful week learning all about wild animals and birds of prey. The Hoppers really enjoyed this theme so much. We spoke about the big five and all the other animals we can find in the parks. We discussed where they live and what they eat. We also asked the Hoppers which is their favourite animal. We got lots of different answers. The lion seemed to be on the top of the list, well I guess after all he is the king of the jungle. 

We art this week we made a paper plate elephant which turned out to be so beautiful. We sponge painted it, but we have decided to keep it for our art show. The Hoppers also made a rhino crown which they coloured in rainbow colours. 

Cooking this week was skill based the kids learnt about beating an egg to help Chef Thembi make our French toast. This sounds like a simple skill but for young learners it takes some skill and patience to break an egg and beat it. It teaches them patience to break an egg with their thumbs and some strength. They also used their senses by feeling the egg, smelling it.   

At FunFit sports we played a matching game the Hoppers had to collect a ball in a colourful ball basket and match its colour to the correct cone. They had so much fun. 

Yoga this week the Hopper’s did animal yoga, using our magic yoga bag. We picked out little animals and discussed some interesting facts about each of them while doing a relevant pose. 

 PLEASE give your kiddies some extra vitamins. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
