Hello lovely parents 🤗 

This week we began a magical new theme — Fantasy and Fairytales! 

A fairytale is a story filled with imagination and wonder, often with a touch of magic and a happy ending. 

The children and teachers absolutely loved diving into this theme. It brought back so many fond childhood memories for us teachers, and it was such a joy sharing traditional tales and nursery rhymes with our class. Many of the children already knew quite a few stories and were so excited to retell their favourites — Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and The Lion and the Mouse were among the most popular! 

Our week was filled with exciting activities and assessments. We practised pencil control, number writing, name writing, and letter formation. The children worked beautifully on their own and showed such confidence in their abilities. I am beyond proud of how much progress they have made this year and it truly fills my teacher heart with joy! 💕 

We also did a fun colouring activity featuring a hedgehog and a frog enjoying some fruit. The little ones put so much effort and creativity into their work, and the results were simply adorable! 

For art, we created magical keys. We used coffee to stain the paper, giving it an “old-world” look, and next week we’ll be decorating our keys with shiny beads to make them sparkle. ✨ 

Coach Trevor was unfortunately sick this week, so we did not attend FunFit Sport, but we will be back to our usual routine next week. 

🌙 Mind Ninjas Fun! 🌙 – Teacher Avi 

Since our theme was fantasy, we used our imaginations to explore the power of the mind’s eye 👁✨. We took a calming journey to the moon — floating, dreaming, and feeling peaceful. It was a beautiful way to begin the day with happy, relaxed minds. 🌝💫 

🧘‍♀️ Curious Crew Yoga – Teacher Nicole 

This week our focus was on partner poses, learning about teamwork and trust. The children used their balance and core strength to stay steady while supporting one another. We then listened to a wonderful song called “Colour Me Happy” which linked different colours to emotions. We explored feelings such as happy 😊, sad 😞, angry 😡, sleepy 🥱, dreamy 😴, jealous 🤨, loving 🥰, silly 🤪, and brave 💪🏻. 

It was a week full of imagination, learning, and joy, a perfect reminder that beauty truly lies within one’s soul. 🌈 

Our Crew!

The excitement for Art Expo is growing and the school is a buzz with tickets sales, music, costume ideas, dance moves, art pieces and projects left right and center. One of our most spectacular events next week Friday. Just when you think one year can’t be as good as the next it really takes you by surprise I think we have really pulled this one out of the bag!!! 

Even though we have been hard at work preparing for our beautiful Art Expo, we got some serious learning done this week in the Curious Crew class.  

I have told the Crew many times that learning our alphabet is one of the most important parts of learning in the Curious Crew class. There were 2 different alphabet games we played. Placing letters of the alphabet on the carpet, we went around in the circle and the Crew got to choose 2 letters and come up and tell the class which letters they had chosen. Then on another day we lay the letters down and again going around in the circle, I told each Crew which 2 letters they had to find on the carpet. And I was super impressed with how well the Crew know their letters! It makes me SO proud, we are getting there with our letter recognition. YAY. 

Another important activity we did this week was letter formation. Because name writing in one of the first writings our little ones do, we started with correct letter formation of the letters of their names.  

During story time this week we have started learning about rhyming words. This has been so much fun to do while reading stories with the Crew and I have told them that this is something they can do with you as parents at home. So what I do is read the sentence putting emphasis on the first rhyming word then I will let them guess the next rhyming word. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well they guess the next word. 

Next week’s theme: Art Expo
