Rr – Recycling

Hi and welcome back to this week’s Playful Pups blog. 

Our week started bright and early on Monday morning with the Pups enjoying their yoga session with Teacher Nicole. As always, it was a wonderful way to begin the week, stretching our bodies, practicing balance and having lots of fun along the way. 

Sadly, Coach Trevor was unavailable for FunFit Sports on Wednesday, but he has promised the Pups that he will make his much-anticipated return next week and put them through another exciting and energetic session. We know they will be thrilled to see him back! 

Our theme this week was all about Recycling and looking after our planet. We spent time chatting about how important it is to care for the world around us and how every little bit helps. It is never too early to start learning about being kind to our environment. 

We changed things up a little this week and got busy creating a fabulous piece of process art. Taking advantage of the beautiful sunshine, the Pups headed outdoors where they were free to paint and explore their creativity. Using a board made entirely from recycled and reused materials, including toilet roll tubes, egg cartons, bottle caps and pieces from long-forgotten puzzle sets, they enthusiastically splashed, dabbed and layered bright colours to create a truly unique masterpiece. They had an absolute blast and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 

In another creative endeavour, the Pups also got started on their special Father’s Day cards. There has been lots of concentration, creativity and excitement involved, so watch this space as they continue working on them next week. 

We have another long weekend ahead of us, with Youth Day being celebrated on Tuesday, 16th June, and Monday being observed as a public holiday. We hope all our families enjoy the extended break, have a wonderful time together and stay safe. 

We look forward to welcoming all our Pups back on Wednesday for another week of learning, laughter and fun. 

 

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