The Happy Hoppers have been working extremely hard this week.   

We spoke about Winter temperatures and how cold it can get in Winter. We discussed different clothing we can wear in winter like boots scarfs, gloves, and jackets. We discussed warm foods to eat like soups, stews, and curries. Teacher C told the Hoppers her favourite food is curry. We also spoke about activities we enjoy doing in winter. Some of the Hoppers told us what they like to do in Winter like watching movies. Teacher Cecilia shared some of her favourite things to do in Winter. Its was so much fun sharing our Winter stories and all the things we enjoy doing in Winter.

For art this week the Hoppers made a lovely art piece Teacher Cecilia pre- cut a template of mittens then we painted the Hoppers hands white and made handprints on the mittens we decorated it by putting cotton wool on the edges and added a piece of wool joining one mitten to the other. These look super cute. Great job Hoppers. 

We also went on a beautiful nature walk around our school to collect all sorts of objects we used for our ice experiment. We used a plastic cake lid to place objects inside and we place it in the freezer over night and the next day we put it in the sun to watch how it melts. We placed a ribbon in it so we could hang it up and watch the water drip down. We even place a key and looms bands in the water to see how long it takes before these items fell out. This was to demonstrate how cold temperatures can drop in Winter.  

We also had some fun on Friday braaing some marshmallows. This was so delicious, and the Hoppers are very aware about Fire and ice after all the activities we experienced this week.  

We practised for our concert and I’m sure the Hoppers are going to blow you away on concert day. 

Reports are ready and have been sent out. 

We have really been working hard and are looking forward to our well-deserved our Mid-term break next week.  

Have a wonderful weekend and break!  

Our Hoppers!
