This week in Smart Squad we learned all about taking care of our bodies 💪 and our hearts 💛 through healthy eating and beautiful manners 🌼. 

We discovered that our bodies are like little engines 🚗⚙️ — they need the right fuel to grow strong and healthy 🌱✨. We spoke about colourful fruits and vegetables 🍎🍊🍌🍇🥕🥦, crunchy carrots 🥕, juicy apples 🍏, and how drinking water 💧 keeps us refreshed and energized ⚡. 

The children loved sharing their favourite healthy snacks 🥪🍓 and learning how milk 🥛, fruit 🍉, and vegetables 🥗 help us grow big, strong, and clever 🧠✨. 

We also practiced lovely table manners 🍽️🌸. We remembered to say “please” 🙏 and “thank you” 💕, to wait patiently for our turn⏳, and to chew with our mouths closed 😁. We practiced sitting nicely on our chairs 🪑, using our spoons and forks correctly 🍴🥄, and keeping our eating area clean and tidy 🧽✨. 

We learned that manners are not only for the table — they are for everywhere! 🏫🏡🌍 At school, at home, and in public. Good manners show kindness 💖, respect 🤝, and love 💕 for others. 

Through fun role-play 🎭, group chats 🗣️, and practical practice time, our Smart Squad showed us just how responsible and caring they are 🌟👏. 

Healthy food makes our bodies strong 💪🍎, and good manners make our friendships strong 💛👫. 

This week in Art we made a beautiful fruit basket masterpiece! 🖼️✨ 

We used a paper plate 🥏 to create our basket and collaged it using tear-and-stick crinkle paper 🧻✂️. The children worked so carefully, tearing the paper and gluing it down to make their baskets colourful and textured 🌈. 

Next, we coloured in our delicious fruits 🍓🍑🍎🍌, cut them out neatly ✂️, and glued them into our baskets 🧺. To finish it off, we attached a handle made from string 🧵 so our baskets looked extra realistic and special! 

The classroom was filled with bright colours, happy chatter, and beautiful creativity 💛🌟. Well, done, Smart Squad — your fruit baskets are absolutely amazing! 🍇✨

Ending off with quiet time whilst listening to the sound of Dolphins swimming. 

Phonics & Maths Fun ✏️📚🔢 

In Phonics 🔤 we are still busy practicing our letter formation. The children are working so hard on holding their pencils correctly ✏️ and forming their letters neatly and carefully. We are focusing on starting at the correct place and taking our time to make beautiful letters. Practice makes perfect! 🌟 

In Maths 🔢 we have finished forming numbers 1️⃣ to 🔟 well done, Smart Squad! 👏✨ The children are becoming more confident with number recognition and correct number formation. 

This week we also did a fun hands-on activity ✂️🖍️ where we had to cut and paste pictures according to big, bigger, and biggest 🐘🐘🐘. The children carefully looked at the sizes and pasted each item under the correct heading. It was wonderful to see them thinking, comparing, and working so neatly. 

In Coding , we worked on sequencing , learning how to put events and instructions in the correct order. 

We are so proud of our Smart Squad! Keep shining, little stars. 

Our Squad!
