Another week has flown by so quickly! It has been a busy and exciting week as we learned all about transport. We discussed the different types of transport, including 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.

For Art this week, the Smart Squad created beautiful hot air balloons using recycled materials. The children enjoyed the creative process and were proud of their colourful creations.

In Phonics, we focused on matching activities, visual discrimination, and filling in missing letters. We also spent time practising our sight words. The Smart Squad continues to impress with their growing confidence and excellent recall of their sight words. Well done, everyone!

During Numeracy, we completed a sorting and grouping activity where learners classified pictures according to whether they belonged to land, air, or sea transport. This engaging activity combined thinking skills with cutting and pasting, making learning both fun and meaningful.

In our Time 2 Read books, the children were encouraged to blend, read, and draw, helping to strengthen both their reading and comprehension skills.

Concert practice is also well underway, and report writing season has begun, making it a truly jam-packed time in our classroom.

This week we chose our super-secret yoga song for the concert.

All we can say is that it is going to be magical and the parents are going to be so proud of their little yoga super souls.

The children have worked incredibly hard this week and deserve a wonderful, restful weekend. We look forward to another exciting week of learning ahead.

Have a HAPPY weekend!

This week our theme was Land, Air and Sea Transport, our colour was blue, our shape was the diamond, and our letter of the week was Jj.

What a lovely week it has been in Crew! The children have been busy learning, creating and sharing, and there has been plenty of excitement in the classroom.

Our focus letter this week was Jj. The children have become absolute experts at their judo chops as we practice our “j” sound, and it has been wonderful to see how confidently they are recalling their phonemes.

We also continue to practice our CVC words (consonant vowel consonant words), and the progress the children are making is fantastic. It is so rewarding to watch them become more confident with blending sounds and recognizing simple words.

I have also loved listening to all the stories about the exciting homework activities the children have been completing at home. Their enthusiasm has been so special.

For numeracy this week, we worked on something a little different. The children completed an activity where they had to roll a die, count the dots, and then colour the corresponding car. This was a wonderful way to combine counting, number recognition and following instructions, all while having fun.

For a bit of a change this week, we combined handwriting and creativity. Instead of simply practicing the letter J, the children completed a directed drawing of a jellyfish. This activity helped reinforce letter recognition while also encouraging listening skills, concentration and creativity.

We have been incredibly busy with art this week and completed another two beautiful pieces for Art Expo. The children have been putting so much effort into their work, and we cannot wait to share these masterpieces with you later in the year.

Messy play was definitely a highlight this week! We explored different types of transport by sieving flour over them and then lifting them up to reveal the silhouettes underneath. The children were fascinated by the different shapes and outlines that appeared and loved the sensory experience of working with the flour.

It has been another wonderful week of learning, creativity and discovery in Crew. We are so proud of how hard the children are working and how much confidence they are gaining each day.

Have a HAPPY weekend!

This week we learned about all the different types of Transport – Land, Air and Sea.

We started off the week by doing a sensory activity, where the children each had the opportunity to play with different types of cars, trains and aeroplanes using baking flour. They made stencils, and had such fun!

We had two different art activities this week. For the first activity we painted paper plates where our Happy Hoppers painted the sky on one half, and the road on the other half. They then coloured in a picture of a car to add onto the paper plate, making the car look like its moving! For our second art activity the children painted toilet rolls and made aeroplanes.

The children then did another fun, hands on activity, where they covered the car’s wheels in paint and stencilled the tyres onto paper leaving such cool tyre tracks!

We sang songs relating to the theme of the week and the children counted unifix cubes for our numeracy activity and did some number recognition.

We had Fun fit Sports with Coach Trevor where our Hoppers got to throw balls into an object. We practiced catching and throwing. The children enjoyed doing some action songs, moving their bodies.

We had fabulous yoga with Teacher Nicole and had amazing show and tell.

YAY FOR YOGA

We did tissue blowing which encourages deep breathing exercises.

This teaches the yogis breath control.

Catching the tissue in the air develops hand eye co ordination

Lots of giggles and laughter

Have a HAPPY weekend!

This week our theme was Transport, and what a fun, busy, and exciting week we had in the Busy Bugs class! Even though many of our Bugs friends were unfortunately sick during the week, we did our very best to stay positive, adapt our plans, and make the most out of every moment we had together.

During our group discussions, we explored the different types of transport we see and use in our everyday lives. The Bugs were introduced to cars, buses, aeroplanes, trains, and boats, and we had lots of fun talking about where we might see them and how they help us get from one place to another. We also discussed the importance of road safety, especially when travelling in a car. The Bugs were encouraged to understand simple safety rules such as wearing a seatbelt and sitting safely while the car is moving.

For our creative art activities, the Bugs made adorable little boats, which they will be able to use for future water play experiences. This activity allowed them to explore creativity while also building excitement for sensory and water-based play.

We also enjoyed a variety of hands-on, practical learning experiences throughout the week. One of the highlights was transforming our classroom chairs into a big bus! Each Bug was given a plate to use as a steering wheel, and they absolutely loved pretending to drive. We followed instructions together, took turns, and worked as a team to create a fun and imaginative bus journey experience. It was wonderful to see the Bugs engaging so enthusiastically and using their imagination during this activity.

In addition to this, we continued working on our art expo projects, giving the Bugs the opportunity to explore different materials, develop their creativity, and proudly contribute to our class display.

To end off our week, we introduced a car ramp activity where the Bugs were able to explore freely and enjoy watching their cars zoom down the ramp. This activity encouraged curiosity, cause-and-effect understanding, and lots of excitement as they experimented with speed and movement.

Overall, it was a wonderful transport-themed week filled with learning, creativity, teamwork, and lots of fun!

For Yoga this week:

Hi everyone, and welcome back to this week’s Playful Pups blog!

Our theme this week was Transportation – Land, Air and Sea, and what a fun, busy week it has been exploring all things that move. We chatted about all sorts of transport, from cars and trucks to boats, planes, and even hot air balloons. The Pups were full of ideas and excitement as we zoomed, floated, and sailed our way through the week!

A big highlight has been our creative art projects. The Pups have been working hard on making their very own hot air balloons. They used bright finger paints to create colourful dots on the balloon canopy and carefully painted the baskets before everything gets glued together onto their display cards. We also made our own cars using half paper plates, which the children painted in a variety of colours before adding wheels and windows. They were so proud of their finished vehicles!

Of course, there’s always plenty of time for free play, and this week our classroom was buzzing with cars, trucks, and all kinds of transport toys. The boys especially enjoyed the big trucks and graders – lots of imaginative construction work happening all around!

We were also back into our routine activities. Teacher Nicole returned for our Monday morning yoga session, and the Pups are now becoming real pros at following the different yoga positions. It’s such a joy to watch them confidently copying Teacher Nicole and moving through each pose with growing control and focus.

Coach Trevor kept everyone active with a fun obstacle-style session. The Pups were jumping over small cones, balancing while carrying a ball, and then aiming carefully as they threw it into a container “goal”. They absolutely love this activity, and it’s always a challenge to get them to pass the balls on after their turn!

One of the most memorable moments this week came during ring time when we switched things up a little. One of our Pups, who is very confident with his colours, naturally stepped into the role of “teacher”. He held up each colour one by one, asking his classmates, “What colour is this?” and patiently waited for their answers. When someone got it right, he proudly shouted, “Well done!” and even called them by name. We captured the moment on video and had a good laugh afterwards – our little teacher took his leadership role very seriously! It was a wonderful reminder of just how far the Pups have come since the beginning of the year, with confidence growing every day.

Next week’s theme is a special one: Caring for Our World. We’ll be focusing on recycling and the importance of the 3 R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. We already know this is going to spark lots of creativity as the Pups explore fun and clever ways to reuse recyclable materials.

We can’t wait to share it with you!

Have a HAPPY weekend!

Zoom! Vroom! Splash! 

There are so many ways to get from point A to point B and this week we covered all of them!  From airplanes to cars, bikes to boats, scooters to submarines… the list goes on and on!  We got to look at photos and videos of all of these different modes of transport and these Bugs learnt so much!  

We also discussed what the definition of transport is: moving items or people from one place to another using either the land, the air or the sea.

Our Bugs learnt that they get transported to and from school by their mommies or daddies, and then mommy and daddy transport themselves to work. 

We love testing the Bugs memory skills by asking them questions about what was discussed the day before during ring time, and we are very happy to report that most of our Bugs are able to tell us what was said the day before.  Well done kiddos!  We also like to test our Bugs to see if they can notice who is not at school that day. 90% of the time, they can name every Bug who is not at school. 

For art this week we made the most adorable “Modes of Transport” chart. We painted a piece of paper green for grass and blue for sky. We added a strip of black paper for the road (no potholes in these roads!) and a strip of blue for the water. We then gave the Bugs some items from the art studio to create the different modes of transport. We used a plastic straw and wrapping paper for the plane, a button and bread tag for the hot air balloon. We used little lids as a row boat and scrap fabric and paper as a sailing boat. Lastly, we used a tin tab as a car and bread tabs as a truck. The Bugs obviously required a little bit of help sticking of the bits and bobs on (glue gun glue gets very hot!), but they helped where they could and were so impressed with the final outcome! 

Assessments are underway and report time is nearing. These past few weeks have been so much fun for us teachers, working one-on-one so intimately with the Bugs has been such a treat! We are so proud of each of our Busy Bugs and we hope that you enjoy reading their reports as much as we enjoyed writing them. 

Have a lovely weekend, stay warm and we will see you all next week!

IB Principle: Balanced – This week we focused on the importance of balance by using a seesaw as an example. We explained four parts: thinking, feeling, doing, and being. Balance means making sure all four parts get equal attention, like keeping a seesaw level.

Thinking: learning new things and using your brain
Feeling: taking care of your emotions and being kind
Doing: playing, creating, and taking action
Being: relaxing, reflecting, and being yourself

We explained to the Squad that if we balance all four parts, we feel happy, healthy, and strong! Just like a stable seesaw.

Writing and Phonics: This week we focused on letters sounds a-z as well as sight words. The Squad did a worksheet on syllables where they had to clap the syllables of each object on the picture e.g. “Mex-i-can” to determine how many syllables are in each word and then cut out and pasted them where they belong. They grasped this new concept well and were seen trying to clap out the syllables of their friends’ names too. Hehe super cute – Keep it up Squad!

Mathematics: This week we focused on counting to 20 and back, as well as practiced drawing 2D shapes and their properties. The Squad did a worksheet on “addition with 10 frames” to complete the sums by depicting what is missing, such as 6 + (_) = 10, they counted the open blocks and added the number 4 in the given space.

Cooking: For our cooking class this week the Squad used their creativity and fine motor skills to the max by making their own ships (Transport theme). They started with a base made from half an apple, then added syrup and Rice Krispies to create the ship’s structure. Next, they added a triangular cheese flag on a toothpick and a jelly baby “human” to complete the design. This made a delicious and healthy snack, great work little chefs!

Creative Art: The Squad built their own “transport” using recycled materials such as old video cassettes and hair curlers. They were intrigued with the materials they used and were impressed with their wonderful creations. (boats, rockets, cars, bikes) – Each one uniquely spectacular!

Have a wonderful weekend!

During ring time every morning we tried to get the Crew to use ’transport’ in the sentences they used when describing different types of transport. We want them to understand the concept of what transport means and that yes its cars and trucks and planes and boats but what are the purposes for these great machines? It was very funny to hear when asking the Crew how do we know where to go and we have never been there before…the map on mommy and daddy’s phone. LOL Back in the day it was a book with addresses and road maps. But good answer Crew!

We did another guided drawing activity this week, which the Crew really enjoyed! This time we did a drawing of a map. I love these kinds of activities as it is preparing the Crew for Grade R where they will have to copy sentences off of the board. This time in their guided drawing they got to colour in their work. It came out really beautifully!

Our Curious Crew class symbol is a hot air balloon so how could we not do a little art activity to go with that! The Crew had to put their fine motor skills to the test so they weaved the baskets for the hot air Balloon. We will be keeping this little art project for Art Expo, they are too cute not to keep.

When learning the shape of the week the shape poem goes as follows:

I’m Danny Diamond

I have 4 sides

All of them

Are diagonal lines.

But what are diagonal lines? We showed the Crew with our arms, vertical line, then horizontal line and diagonal lines. Diagonal lines mean that they go at an angle. Please go over this with your child at home they really enjoyed the concept of know different line names.

Last week our shape of the week was an Octagon and we didn’t have enough time to do an activity so we added it into this weeks work. I always describe an octagon with an octopus. An octopus has 8 legs and an octagon has 8 sides and is the same shape as a Stop sign on the road. When you are driving parents point out the 8 sided Stop street signs.

This week for cooking we had such a super treat! Brownie Robots. Cut into rectangles with Skittal lights. The Crew got to mix the batter and put the brownies into the oven. Once they were out we decorated them and out them into bags for the Crew to enjoy at home.

Thank you to everyone who has brought concert clothes so far. Please if you haven’t sent clothes. We need them ASAP to start decorating clothes.

This week will be the first set of Letter Challenge letters to be sent home for homework. It is important to focus on the SOUND of the letters as well as letter recognition and formation. Good luck and enjoy this little bit of bonding time with your child. Their work will be marks and they will receive a sticker.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

We started off this week talking about various kinds of air, land, and sea transport. We also had so much fun pretending to be various kinds of transport. We spread our arms and were super-fast jets, we made “Choo-Choo sounds for a train and blew our horns to be a big ship. 

 For our art, this week we coloured in a picture of a sailboat with wax crayons then we cut it out. On a separate piece of paper, we used tissue paper to create some water. We painted over tissue paper with water and let it dry and then after it dried, we pulled the tissue paper off which left behind a lovely blue colour to represent water. The Hoppers loved this activity.

We played a hide and seek triangle game. Teacher Yolandie hid various triangles away in the class and when she held up their name cards, they had to recognise their name and then go look for a triangle in the class. Some Hoppers were able to recognise their names and others needed some help.

Assessments are still on going at this stage.

 On Friday for Yoga was dice day. Shaking the magic box and seeing what 2 poses we had to do and for how many seconds we had to hold it was very exciting. The poses included Camel, downward dog, cat, and cow pose. Forward bend, backward stretch table pose and relax pose.

 Our Hoppers did their cooking session on Thursday morning. They made apple boats with quarter apples with honey dripped over it and covered it with rice Krispies and cut cheese into triangles which they put onto a toothpick to represent a sail. This was a sticky affair but so much fun.

 It has been such a wonderful week! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Oh my goodness, this week was an absolute blast! We dived into the wonderful world of different types of transport, and let me tell you, the little Pups knew exactly what they were talking about. They impressed us all with their knowledge and enthusiasm!

We kicked off the fun with some imaginative play, pretending to drive cars and be trains. The Pups absolutely loved it! Their giggles and excitement filled the room as they zoomed around and chugged along.

For our art project, we got super creative. We coloured in a beautiful train and even painted wheels using toilet rolls. The Pups’ artistic talents shone brightly, and their colourful creations were simply adorable.

Of course, transportation week would not be complete without singing “Wheels on the Bus” – and boy, did we sing it a lot! Their cheerful voices and big smiles made each rendition more delightful than the last.

We also put a big focus on fine motor skills and counting. The Pups did such an amazing job, showing off their growing skills and making us all proud. Watching them learn and have fun at the same time was just the sweetest thing ever.

All in all, it was a week filled with learning, laughter, and loads of love. Our little explorers are already looking forward to the next adventure!

We started off this week, talking about different kinds of land air, and sea transport. We also had so much fun pretending to be different kinds of transport. We spread our arms and were super-fast jets, we made “Choo-Choo” sounds for a train, and we blew our horns to be a big ship.

The Hoppers were given a page and, with a little help from the teachers, folded the paper to make paper aerorplanes. The aeroplanes were then coloured in to decorate them. Our Hoppers were so excited to go test their paper planes outside in our Hoppers’ garden.

For our art we incorporated our shape, colour and transport theme into one masterpiece! We sponge painted a diamond shape piece of paper navy blue, the children were given all different kinds of shapes to make a car, boat and an aeroplane to stick onto the paper and we then turned the diamond into a kite.

Our letter for the week was “J-j” and our letter land book was all about Jumping Jim. We all jumped around the classroom like jumping Jim saying different “J” words. Please ask your Hoppers to tell you some words that start with the letter “J’? This was so much fun, and our Hoppers really impressed us when asked for “J” words.

Our Hoppers are doing so well in learning the concert songs, we are super proud of them. We cannot wait for concert day. So exciting!

It has been such a great week!
