Recycling Week with the Playful Pups 🐶 

This week, we explored one of our favorite themes at school – recycling! 💚 

We had such meaningful discussions about what happens when we throw paper away and how important it is to take care of our environment. The Pups even got to practise throwing rubbish into the correct bins, and they did such a great job! 👏 

🎨 Art Time: 

For our craft this week, we created our very own *recycling tins* that will be sent home for you to use! Each one was made using wax crayons and wax paper wrapped around a tin — they turned out beautifully and we’re so proud of them! 🖍 

🏃 FunFit Sports: 

We completed our FunFit Sports assessments this week so everything is ready for the reports going out next Friday. The Pups have shown such wonderful progress! 

Report Envelopes: 

We also spent some time decorating our *super cute report envelopes* — you’re going to love them! 💌 

🧘Yoga with the Pups: 

In yoga this week, we began with some warm-ups: stretching up high, twisting our bodies, and touching our toes. 

Our yoga song of the week was “1, 2, 3, 4” as we practised fun animal-inspired poses like Star, 🐸 Frog, 🐍 Snake, 🐶 Dog, 🐱 Cat, 🐛 Caterpillar, and 🦋 Butterfly. 

We ended with some peaceful quiet time to help us wind down and relax. 🌈🧘 

 

Recycling turns things into other things .... which is like MAGIC!

My Family

My Family

This week in the Playful Pups classroom our theme was “My Family”, and here at school we like to think of ourselves as one big happy family too. Of course, our little Pups are still very young, and the idea of “family” is quite a big concept for them to fully grasp, so we spent a lot of time chatting about what families are and how wonderfully different they can be.

Safety

Playful Pups have bounced back into school after our mid-term break with renewed energy and enthusiasm and in true Pups fashion, we’ve packed a lot into our short four-day week! Our theme has been Safety, and we’ve been exploring some very important lessons in ways that are hands-on, memorable… and occasionally hilarious.

Healthy Eating, Etiquette and Manners

Teaching two-year-olds about healthy eating, good manners and polite table behaviour may sound like a tall order… but our little Pups have shown us that it can be done, one tiny bite, turn and “thank you” at a time!
