Rr – Recycling

Another busy and meaningful week has flown by. This week our Smart Squad learned all about caring for our world and the importance of looking after the planet we call home. We discussed ways we can help protect the environment and learned about recycling, why we recycle, and how even small actions can make an enormous difference. 

For our art activity, we painted beautiful ocean scenes. On one side of our pictures, we added various pieces of paper, bottle lids, and other recycled materials to represent pollution in our oceans. This helped the children see the impact that litter and waste can have on marine life and the environment. 

This topic is especially close to our hearts, as caring for our world reflects the true values and vision of our school. It was wonderful to see the children so engaged and enthusiastic about finding ways to help keep our planet clean, healthy, and beautiful for future generations. 

This week we played lots of games because many of our friends were absent due to illness. We enjoyed a variety of number matching games and phonics games, which helped us learn while having fun. On Friday, we had the opportunity to view all the wonderful projects that our classmates had worked so hard on. We are so proud of each and every child for the effort, creativity, and dedication that went into these projects. 

A special thank you to Teacher Anita for treating us to pizza for lunch. It was such a kind and thoughtful surprise, and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Please remember that next week is a short week, and we look forward to another fun-filled week of learning together. 

Have a wonderful long weekend.

Land, Air and Sea Transport

It was fascinating to hear what the children had to say and learn about the different forms of transport they have experienced. Some shared stories about travelling on boats, aeroplanes, and even buses! Their stories were long, detailed, and very entertaining. Whether every detail was completely true or fuelled by their wonderful imaginations, we certainly shared plenty of laughs together.
