This week our Playful Pups blasted off on an exciting adventure as we explored the wonderful world of Space🌞🌙⭐ 

Without a doubt, the biggest hit of the week was learning all about rockets and spaceships. Our little astronauts absolutely loved counting backwards from 10 before launching themselves into space with lots of enthusiastic “3…2…1…BLAST OFF!” There were rockets zooming all over the classroom and plenty of giggles as imaginations took flight. 

We also discovered that the sun and moon are part of space too. We chatted about how the sun keeps us warm during the day, while the moon often lights up our night sky. The Pups were fascinated to learn that there are millions of stars twinkling above us, even if we can’t always see them all. 

Our weekly yoga session was another lovely way to start the week, and we are so proud of how much the children have improved. They are becoming more confident following the different poses and movements, and it’s wonderful to watch their concentration and balance developing. 

Coach Trevor came charging into class ready to train our little space explorers for their next mission! Before long he was “launching” each Pup into space by lifting them high into the air. The squeals of laughter and endless cries of “Again!” filled the playground, and I think Coach Trevor may have needed a little rest afterwards! The Pups also tackled an obstacle course using our soft play equipment before practicing their balancing skills on the beams like true space adventurers. 

For our creative activity, the children began making their very own rocket ships, which we’ll be finishing off next week. We have also started planning a beautiful planet mobile that will be displayed at our Art Expo, and we can’t wait to see it all come together. 

Alongside all our space adventures, we’ve been busy practicing our concert songs and dance moves. We can hardly believe that next week our Playful Pups will make their very first concert debut in front of their parents and families! It’s such an exciting milestone. We’re hoping our little stars don’t get stage fright and instead simply enjoy every magical moment on stage. Whatever happens, we know they’ll make us all incredibly proud. 

Have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see everyone next week for what promises to be a very exciting one! 🌟🚀 

I hope your little stars have an amazing first concert! 🌟 

May your weekend be OUT OF THIS WORLD!

Winter, Temperatures, Fire and Ice

Brrr… what a chilly week we’ve had! Our Winter Fire & Ice theme couldn’t have been more fitting as we chatted about the cold winter weather and why it’s so important to wrap up warm. We spoke about wearing beanies, gloves, scarves and warm jackets to keep our little bodies nice and cozy when we head outside.
