Our long-awaited Market Day has been the highlight of our week. It’s all that the Crew can talk about. This makes my heart so happy seeing the joy our Market Day has brought the Crew.  

Our week has been filled with many different activities and games. We have started with some Christmas art as we want to make sure our Christmas boxes are overflowing with the Christmas spirit. And they are not just any Christmas art, there are many different skills used to make these creations. 

Each day we practice the alphabet, going over the name, sound and Jolly Phonics of each letter. During our daily story time after break, I ask the Crew to tell me what letter certain things start with, and we are also working on our rhyming words. 

For our themed art, the Crew were tasked with cutting out pictures in magazines, pictures that caught their eye, things they would like to buy. The Crew also coloured in and cut out some money. It was so funny to see how they lit up getting ’money’ LOL. So cute! Each Curious Crew also got to make their own credit card and swipe it at the machine during their shopping activity.They loved their purses so much they wanted to use them at the market day. Job well done Crew! 

At yoga this week the Crew listened to a yoga story about kindness. How to be kind to each other by saying and doing kind things. They also practiced a few poses whilst listening to dolphin and ocean sounds. 

Next week we will have our Curious Crew outing to celebrate all the hard work that went into the Crews Market Day. Please make sure to send your indemnity forms back as soon as possible.

Our Crew!

The Curious Crew enjoyed this weeks theme . 

It made very interesting theme discussions, we spoke about the different kind of shops we get , and we spoke about how shopping works , with money and how we need to pay for everything we want to purchase in the shops. 

We also counted to our number of the week several times , mastering the task of stopping at number 18. 

We also focused on our shape of the week quite a lot , as 3D shapes are still new to us , we ensured we made sure everyone understands the shape as well as being able to recognise the shape. 

ART

For art this week , we had a few fun activities this week ; 

We first made our very own triangular Prisms , this was one way of understanding and being able to identify a triangular prism 

We had a task where we had trolleys , and we had to cut out groceries and paste them onto the  trolleys.

 We also created our very own Market day posters for everyone’s stalls for our Curious Crew market day everyone did a super job in showing off their items they’ll be selling . 

FUNFIT SPORTS 

This week with coach Trevor , we had a fun time , where he tested everyone’s ball skills. We had to dribble through cones , aim for a target and give our biggest of kicks. 

Thank you to everyone for their amazing efforts for the Market Day ! The kids had one heck of a blast ! What a success! 

 Have a wonderful weekend!

Our Crew!

Dear beautiful parents,

Our long awaited Market Day has been the highlight of our week. It’s all that the Crew could talk about. This makes my heart so happy … seeing the joy, our Market Day has brought the Crew.

This week we wrapped up our Puzzle Challenge with a little awards ceremony. As the Crew sat in anticipation for their certificates, one by one I called them up and the response from the Crew for each child was heart-warming to see. They cheered each other on, clapping and jumping for joy for their friends. Very well done to our top 5, thank you for all your hard work!

Our week has been filled with many different activities and games. We have started with some Christmas art as want to make sure our Christmas boxes over flow with the Christmas spirit. And they are not just any Christmas art, there are many different skills used to make these creations.

Working on perceptual skills is one of my favourite activities to do with the Crew. I love getting them thinking. We did dot work, where they had to copy a dotted pattern and we made it fun with paint and ear buds. Each child is different with how they go about dotting the other side and seeing how they go about it. Some children didn’t dot, they dragged the ear bud in the shape of the pattern, so interesting to observe.

Each day we practice the alphabet, going over the name, sound and Jolly Phonics of each letter. We gave each child a white board and went over each letter of the Alphabet. The Crew first had to recognise which letter I was holding up and I would explain how to write the letter. The Crew love working on white boards and the proof is in the pictures. What lovely letter formation they did! Beaming teachers! Take a look at how well they did…

For our ‘Gift of Giving’ charity drive, the Crew are working together to decorate bags that the gifts will go in. We have some beautiful free paintings, sprinkled with glitter to give it that extra special Christmas sparkle.

I hope you all got your Triangular-prisms made by the Curious Crew. They have really loved making these 3D shapes and it has helped them understand and recognise 3D shapes more easily.

For our themed art, the Crew were tasked with cutting out pictures in magazines, pictures that caught their eye, things they would like to buy. The Crew also coloured in and cut out some money. It was so funny to see how they lit up getting ’money’ LOL. So cute! They loved their purses so much they would like to use it at market day. Job well done.

At yoga this week the Crew did a story “Going on a dragon hunt”. It worked as a listening, sequencing and memory game. We listened to the instructions then demonstrated all the various poses, actions and breathing in the story. At the end the kids were asked questions to see what the remembered. The poses included: tree, boat, bridge, cow, frog, mouse and lion. I hope you enjoyed the little video sent on the group.

Next week we will have our Curious Crew outing to celebrate all the hard work that went into the Crews Market Day. Details and indemnity form to follow…
