Cooking and Food Week with the Playful Pups 

This week in the Playful Pups class was all about Cooking and Food, a topic that had everyone’s tummies rumbling from Monday morning! 

We started off by chatting about all the delicious foods our Pups love most, and it came as no surprise that pizza, cookies, and sweets were the clear winners. (We did have a few enthusiastic mentions of broccoli … but we suspect those might have been for teacher approval!) 

Throughout the week, we explored different foods — where they come from, what makes them healthy, and how they help us grow strong and energetic. The highlight came when we ventured into our school kitchen for a hands-on experience. Armed with safety knives and big smiles, our little chefs chopped up fresh fruit and helped make a healthy smoothie,  which was enjoyed right down to the last drop! 

Of course, no week would be complete without a bit of creative fun. For art, our Pups painted and decorated their very own donuts — colourful, sparkly, and wonderfully imaginative. Thankfully, no real sugar rush was involved! 

This week also saw Coach Trevor put our Pups through their FunFit assessment, a fun-filled session of movement, balance, and giggles. The results of these will appear in their end-of-year reports, but we can safely say our Pups gave it their all! 

To top it all off, we were treated to two yoga sessions with the ever-patient Teacher Nicole. Thursday’s early morning Mommy and Daddy yoga was a special highlight — it was such a joy to see parents and Pups stretching, balancing, and laughing together. What a wonderful way to start the day! 

It’s been a week full of fun, food, and a few fruity smoothies — the perfect recipe for happy learning in the Playful Pups class!
