Welcome back after our first Midterm break , we trust that everyone had a restful weekend with your friends and families.

THEME DISCUSSIONS:

This week in the Curious Crew class , we enjoyed our daily theme discussions , we spoke out our families and each child had a turn to tell us something about their families.

We emphasised that each family is different, in some way of another , and we explained that that’s okay. We spoke about how some families have pets , and some don’t. Some families have siblings and some don’t. Although families are different they are still so filled with love. We focused quite a lot on our number letter and colour of the week too , practicing rhymes and counting everyday.

For Art this week , we used recycled plastic bottles , sticks , beads and little self drawn pictures of our families to make our very own unique and beautiful family trees 🌲, the class really went into depth of making their family trees unique. This activity really intrigued their creative side of the brain, we saw many colours , patterns and beautiful art pieces coming out during this activity.

We also completed a fun simple tracing worksheet , and our purpose of this worksheet was to implement simple listening skills and emphasising the importance of following instructions

For our colour of the week, we did a fun art experiment, we did a fun team activity where we mixed blue and red to make purple . The class was so fascinated to see just how different each hand print came out , and just how different purples can be.

 WEEKLY YOGA

Curious crew Yoga week: partner poses was our theme today. Focusing on working as a team. We had to use our balance and core strength so as not to fall over. Lots of giggles, laughter

And it was amazing and fun to see the class doing these poses on the playground showing their fellow friends what they’ve learnt.

FUNFIT SPORTS

This week Coach Dave is focusing on prepping our fellow curious crew class friends for our exciting sports day we have coming up , they practicing their racing , and focused of hurdles.

During this the class also learnt simple skills such as waiting our turns , following instructions and cheering on our friends. NOTHING LIKE TEAM SPIRIT!!  

 Overall it was a wonderful week , and it was lovely learning about everyone’s families.

 Next weeks theme is : My House

Wow! What an exciting and fun short week we have had. During ring time we enjoyed discussing weekend news, our theme of the week as well as the weather and days of the week.

Writing and Phonics: The Squad worked hard on remembering their sight words from last week. For handwriting we traced the letters “p,q,r,” and then wrote them independently.  “a, am, look, at, me, in, here, can, I”

Mathematics: This week we discussed different ways to measure and then completed a worksheet where they had to count the number of blocks under the objects and write the correct measurement on the line provided. We also practiced counting 1-30 and backwards from 30.

Creative Art: The squad drew their own family portrait and added a frame around followed by completing their own family tree and colouring it in.

Music and Cooking: On Tuesday for cooking the squad made a delicious salad, they peeled the carrots, shredded the lettuce and cut the tomato into cubes. The whole school then enjoyed this healthy snack as part of their lunch. Well done Eco Chefs!

For music the Squad played musical chairs as well as enjoyed the freeze dance song. This is great to improve their speed, balance, rhythm, coordination, as well as concentration and listening skills.

Moral Conscious: As communicators the Squad express themselves confidently and creatively in many ways as well as listen carefully to the perspectives of other individuals. Good communicators also create leadership and resilience in the face of challenges and change.

FunFit Sports: Coach Dave will be getting the kiddies ready for Sports Day at FunFit Sports over the next few weeks …  we don’t want to give away what the children will be doing on the day! Remember to diarise the 25th of March so you can see where all the “Bugs” hard work has gone into!
