Writing and Phonics: Phonics this week focused on our next two sight words ‘a’ and “am”. The Squad made their very own “glasses” where they coloured in and cut out the word look. They then used these cool glasses to look for their sight words and circle them. The Squad then drew a picture of what they did on the weekend and coloured it in. Please continue to practice the following sight words:

a, am, look, at, me, in, here

Maths: Our mathematics lesson this week we introduced addition sums up to 10. They completed sums in their workbooks using concrete objects and practiced their number formation up to 10. Well done, Squad!

Life Skills: “Thinkers”- For our IB principle thinkers aids to assist the learners to solve problems, learn from mistakes and be thoughtful of others.

Art: The Squad had so much fun this week making Valentine’s Day gifts for their families. They received a strawberry card and decorated them. They then made juice box cookies holders, these turned out very cute and the squad were so chuffed by the outcome.

Afrikaans: For Afrikaans this week we did a fun shapes and colours worksheet, we called out the name of the colour for each shape in Afrikaans and the squad had to try and remember what the colour is in English and colour in their shapes.

Cooking & Music: This week’s cooking was so much fun; they made their own love heart cookies to put inside their valentines day art. They worked together to whisk the flour butter and castor sugar and off they went in the oven. For music this week we sang some songs as well as introduced tempo (the speed of music).

 It has been a great week.

See you all next week.

This week we spread the love with our theme of “My Emotions”, especially with it being Valentine’s Day on Tuesday. We started the week of love off by reinforcing our shape and colour of the week. To show how much we love our parents we created a paper-weight love rock, our Hoppers chose a pebble and made two thumbprints to look like a heart.

Our children had a great week speaking about love and why we love our mommy’s, daddy’s, our families, and friends. We also spoke about our feelings and the different emotions we may feel from time to time. We coloured in happy, sad, and angry faces, which we made mood charts, these came out amazing and we encourage you to please use them at home, hang them up somewhere and let your Hoppers show you how they are feeling, this is a great way for children to express their feelings.

On Tuesday we celebrated Valentine’s Day with Valentine’s disco. Our Hoppers had so much fun dancing and it was a great way to get rid of some energy due to all the rain we have had over the last few days.

Our Hoppers had so much fun making Valentine’s Day cards, we used resistance art, the Hoppers called it “Magic Painting”. We drew with a white wax crayon on a white piece of paper and the Hoppers used watercolour paint to paint over it, and this is when the magic happened!

Music was so much fun this week, we have started to practice some concert songs…how exciting… We can’t wait for this special day.

Happy Hoppers Yoga Day, We celebrated Valentine’s day by singing 🎶 and dancing along to our “Boom-a-chika-boom Valentine’s Song” we spelled out VALENTINE by doing yoga poses for each letter and ended off with a Valentine’s version of Baby Shark before listening to dolphin sounds for quiet time

The weather pushed us inside for FunFit Sports but definitely did not put a damper on our session! The Happy Hoppers showed off their jumping skills by playing some hopscotch and had to complete different movements when jumping from one hula hoop to the next. Well done, Hoppers!

It has been a great week filled with lots of love and happiness.

Next week our theme is Safety.

Have a safe and lovely weekend.
