Who knows what a group of giraffe is called? Let us know on the class WhatsApp group!

We sure have had a ton of fun at school this week! There was so much to learn about! Wow! This Wild Animal theme is such a fun and interesting one.

We began our art piece by talking about the tallest animal – the giraffe – and all about it! What colour it is, how many legs it has, what’s on its head… we sponge painted a picture of a giraffe. We also made a paper plate lion … this was a lot of fun and we have decided to keep it for our Art Expo.

We did a lot of puzzle building this week and the Pups are really getting good at this activity.

The high light of the week must have been the tractor ride! Each class got to have a turn, where uncle Ryan put all the kiddies in a trailer and then they took a ride around the grounds just outside of the playground. Some Pups were too afraid to go but others thoroughly enjoyed themselves. They didn’t want to get out!

Thank you all for bringing in recycled materials to rebuild our art supplies. Please continue to set aside anything we can use for art. Please also bring us any toys you are throwing out. We can always find a home for them, if not with us, then with one of our charities.

Have a wonderful weekend. Please remember to do a weekly nail trim, there’s just not enough time in the day for us teachers to do nail trims. We look forward to another fun week of learning.

Next week’s theme: Land, Air and Sea Transport

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.

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.
