🐸🐝 The Playful Pups Get Buggy, Froggy & Pond-Wild! 🌿 

Hi Pup Parents! 👋 

We’re back with another little glimpse into the busy world of our Playful Pups, and what a fun couple of weeks it has been! Our themes over the past two weeks have taken us into the fascinating world of Insects and Bees, followed by Frogs, Ponds, Rivers and Dams. 🐝🐸 

This week, our little Pups have been particularly fascinated by frogs! We have been learning all about these rather amazing little creatures and, much to their delight, the Pups have had the opportunity to observe tiny tadpoles up close. They have learnt that these little wriggly swimmers don’t stay tadpoles forever, but will gradually change and grow into frogs. What a wonderful way to see nature’s magic happening right before our eyes! 

We also watched a fun video all about frogs and discovered that frogs come in all sorts of wonderful colours. And of course, one of the biggest hits was watching those long, sticky frog tongues shooting out to catch little insects and worms! 🪰🪱 The Pups were completely captivated—although we’re not sure they quite appreciated just how useful a tongue can be until they saw a frog in action! 😂 

📸 SMILE, PUPS! 

This week was also a very important one because it was School Photo Week! And we have to say, we were incredibly impressed with how our little Pups handled themselves. With a change to our usual routine, lots of waiting, sitting still and being asked to produce those precious smiles on cue, they did an absolutely fabulous job. 

Well done, Playful Pups! 👏 You made your teachers so very proud and, for the most part, made the whole process wonderfully easy. We think there may just be a few future supermodels amongst you! 😄📸 

🧘‍♀️ YOGA & FUNFIT 

Even with our busy schedule, we still managed to squeeze in our much-loved Monday morning yoga session with Teacher Nicole. A little stretching, breathing and quiet time was just what we needed to start the week. 

Then on Wednesday, Coach Trevor arrived ready to put the Pups through their paces. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas! With the rain pouring down outside, Coach Trevor simply brought the action indoors and put our Pups through their paces right there in the classroom. Who needs a sports field when you’ve got a classroom full of energetic two-year-olds? 😂💪 

🎨 CREATIVE LITTLE CRITTERS 

Our creative activities have been just as busy as our little bodies! 

The Pups have been creating their very own “Bugs in a Jar”, and this week they turned their attention to making some rather unusual and wonderfully creative frogs. 🐸🎨 

These little masterpieces are all being carefully put aside for our much-anticipated Art Expo, which is now only a few weeks away. We can’t wait to show you what our talented little artists have been creating! 

🌿 A LITTLE POND-SIDE ADVENTURE 

After several very rainy, classroom-bound days, Thursday brought us something we had been waiting for—the sun finally decided to make an appearance! ☀️ 

We weren’t going to waste a moment of it! 

We headed off on a little nature walk to our pond to see whether we could spot any frogs or tadpoles in their natural surroundings. The Pups happily sat along the banks, watching the ducks, taking in the fresh air and enjoying the sunshine. 🦆🌱 

Sometimes the simplest experiences are the most magical, and there was something rather lovely about watching our little Pups quietly enjoying nature after all the rain. 

🏗️ WHAT’S NEXT? 

Next week we’re swapping our frogs and bugs for something completely different as we dive into the world of Construction, Buildings and Factories! 🏗️🚧 

We’re going to have to put on our thinking caps and see what our little Pups can come up with creatively. We have a feeling there may be plenty of building, stacking, hammering and imagining happening! 

Until then, have a wonderful weekend, Pup Families. ❤️ 

We’ll see you all at the same time, same place, next week—ready for another adventure! 

Our Pups!
