A Week of Learning, Hygiene & Hands-On Fun
This week our theme was Hygiene, and our Curious Crew had a busy and productive week filled with meaningful learning experiences. From numeracy and language to art and movement, the children explored important skills in a hands-on and engaging way.
Numeracy
In numeracy, we continued practising addition and subtraction, using links as our new maths manipulative.
The children enjoyed building, joining, and breaking apart numbers, which helped them develop a clearer understanding of number relationships. Using concrete materials supports number sense, problem-solving skills, and confidence while making learning interactive and enjoyable.
Language & Literacy
For language, we focused on the formation of the letter “c” using playdough. This activity strengthened fine-motor muscles while reinforcing correct letter formation in a playful and accessible way.
We also completed a sequencing activity based on the correct steps for washing hands, linking directly to our hygiene theme. Sequencing supports children’s ability to follow instructions, understand order, and develop early comprehension skills.
The children practised writing twice — first using guided lines, and then independently. We are very proud of the effort, focus, and perseverance shown as they challenged themselves to write on their own.
Art
Art was a highlight this week. The children drew detailed and expressive stick figures, each showing wonderful individuality.
We also created a germ-themed painting connected to our hygiene topic. This artwork will be kept for our upcoming Art Expo — we know it’s hard to wait, but it will be worth it.
Movement & Fun Fit Sport
To end off the week, we enjoyed Fun Fit Sport, where the children completed an obstacle course. This helped develop balance, coordination, strength, and overall body awareness while having fun through movement.
It has been a wonderful week of learning, growth, and creativity. We are very proud of the Curious Crew and look forward to continuing this exciting learning journey together.
Have a wonderful weekend!
