This Week’s Wild Adventure! 🐾 

This has been a delightful week learning all about wild animals and birds of prey. The Hoppers really enjoyed this theme so much. Wild Animals are such fascinating creatures that live in their natural habitats, such as forests deserts, and oceans. 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 was on the top of the list; well, I guess after all he is the king of the jungle. 

Fun facts; 

Lions are social animal that live in groups called prides. 

Giraffes have long necks. They use their necks to reach leaves on tall trees. 

Monkeys are agile. They swing from tree to tree using their strong arms. 

Elephants have good memories. They remember their families and habitats.Wild animals are amazing creatures that live in different parts of the world. By learning about them. We can appreciate their uniqueness and importance in our ecosystem. 

For 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 painted some beautiful pictures of wild animals.  

It is yoga-day!!! 

The theme today was fun-learning-yoga shapes. Using music and movement to do popular yoga poses to learn all about the different shapes.  

Our song was “You can be what you want to”  

Our various shapes included: 🌟 star, 💎 diamond, Square, zig zag, 🔵 Circle, 🔺 triangle, oval, straight line, rectangle, and curve. Finishing off with quiet and relaxation time. 

Have a wonderful weekend
