Back again for this week’s Playful Pups blog and what a noisy, giggly, animal-filled week it has been as we continued our theme of The Farm and Farm Animals! 

We’ve spent lots of time chatting about all the animals you might find on a farm and the Pups certainly knew their stuff. Between the loud mooing of cows, ducks quacking away, pigs grunting and sheep going “baaaa,” our classroom sounded very much like a busy little barnyard at times. I’m sure some of the Pups could now qualify as professional animal sound experts! 

Our art creation this week focused on making a fluffy woolly sheep in black and white, and the Pups absolutely loved getting creative with all the soft wool textures. One Pup kept insisting that he was the “black sheep,” which gave us all quite a good laugh and may possibly have been the funniest comment of the week. 

Sadly, the Pups missed out on their yoga session with Teacher Nicole this week, but she has promised to make it up to us soon, which caused much excitement. Coach Trevor kept the energy levels high during Wednesday’s FunFit Sports session, taking the Pups out to the big playground where they climbed, swung and explored the jungle gym with great enthusiasm. Safe to say, anything involving climbing is always a winner with this group. 

We have also welcomed a couple of new little ones into our Pups family this week, and we are so proud of how beautifully they are settling in. They are becoming familiar with our daily routines, making new friends and growing more confident in their school environment each day. Watching the Pups help and encourage one another is always such a lovely part of our classroom. 

As we wrap up our two-week farm adventure, we are looking forward to an exciting new theme next week — Land, Air and Sea Transportation. Knowing the Pups, I suspect there will be plenty of loud engine noises, pretend aeroplanes flying through the classroom and perhaps a few traffic jams along the way! 

Our Pups!
