What an exciting week we’ve had in the Curious Crew class, especially leading up to the much-anticipated Bike-a-thon! The kids were counting down the days, asking daily if it was finally Bike-o-thon time. Today was no different, “When are we going to ride, teacher?” “Is it now?”—the questions didn’t stop! The big event finally took place after snack time during our break, and it was pure joy. 

The Crew have learnt all the moves to Catch a Falling Star, and I often catch them humming or singing it during activities. We’ve now started learning the actions for our next concert song, so expect to see a lot of new dance moves and enthusiastic performances coming your way. We hope you enjoy every moment of the cuteness just as much as we do! 

At FunFit Sports this week, Coach Trevor and Coach Amber focused on finalising assessments. The children loved having some one-on-one time with the coaches. Their progress in gross motor skills has been incredible to witness—it’s clear how much they’ve developed since the beginning of the year. 

In cooking, we made Coco Pop treats for Dad to celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday. They all promised to share with Dad… but we can’t guarantee they’ll stick to it! 😄 We hope you love your gifts Dads! 

Our beautiful Curious Crew also enjoyed Yoga on Monday this week! We went on a “rollercoaster ride” 🎢 while seated with legs stretched wide, reaching up, forward, left, and right. The class was filled with laughter and bright smiles. Our yoga song was We’re on a Roller-Coaster by Yogapalooza, and we ended off the session with some peaceful quiet time. 

Dads, your Father’s Day cards are absolutely adorable! They truly are keepsakes. And of course, we had to include a little questionnaire for Dad. We hope the answers make you laugh, smile, and maybe even tear up. It’s always heartwarming to see how our children view the world—and you—through their eyes. 

The Crew also had fun colouring their Bike-o-thon certificates this week. Each design was so unique and creative—it’s always such a treat to see how differently each child approaches the same task. 

For art, we made pocket watches, which will be kept for our annual art expo. They turned out beautifully! We also spent some time working on our number formation using the whiteboard, with great focus and effort from everyone. 

For some fine motor practice this week we did number writing on white boards. The Crew really love this activity as they go crazy for anything we do on a white board. 

This week, letters g, h, i, and j will be sent home in the Letter Challenge books. The Crew has taken so well to their first taste of “homework”, and we couldn’t be prouder of their enthusiasm and progress. Keep up the great work! 

Happy Father’s Day to all our amazing Dads! We hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and a few surprises. You deserve it! 

Next Week’s Theme: Recycling ♻️ 

Our Crew!

What an exciting week we have had in the Curious Crew class! Especially leading up to our anticipated Bike-o-thon! The kids counted down the days and kept asking us if it was Bike-o-thon yet. Today it was nonstop questions ‘When are we going to ride teacher’ ‘Are we going to go ride now teacher’ Bike-o-thon took place after snack during our break time. 

Activities for the week were as follows: During Music and Movement with Teacher Mo he helped write/play the notes for one of our concert songs that we were practicing and now we as well as learnt the next verse that goes with the song. It was lots of fun. 

At FunFit Sports this week, Coach Trevor set out a ball skill activity, which the Crew enjoyed so much that they asked to do it again next week and next week the whole class would like to do the activity together instead of the normal splitting into 2 groups. The Crew had 3 different coloured holes they had to throw balls into. If they threw the same coloured ball in the hole it was 10 point, and a different coloured ball into the hole, they got 2 points. Two Crew members were up against each other at a time. Which they really enjoyed! 

Cooking this week, the Crew decorated cupcakes for Dad because it’s Father’s Day on Sunday. They promised to share Dads LOL! 

At Yoga this week the Crew got to enjoy The Dancing Bear to warm up their bodies on this very cold winter morning. Their stretches were tree, boat and chair pose. Working on hand-eye coordination, they played a game called Topple, which had the kids practicing their pincer grip by placing little counters on top of each other. The Yogies did very well, our kids are all amazing little individuals. 

Our/Your Father’s Day cards are to die for! They are just the cutest! Thank you Teacher Tegan for your creative idea, it so cute. And of course he had to do a questionnaire for Dad, I hope the answers make you laugh and go aaahh at the same time! Our Father’s Day gifts will melt your heart too. 

One of the extra activities we did for the week was a body image and us teachers were all blown away at the amazing body images these littles ones are now able to draw! Wow, I’m loving all the progress our Crew are making and how mature they have all become.  

Happy Father’s Day to all of our Dad’s we hope it’s a wonderful day and you feel quite spoilt!
