Another fun week for our Parrots! 🦜
Last Thursday, for our outdoor gym, we had a fun spider maze that we had to tackle to make it through to the other side! 🕷️ For indoor gym, we practised animal movements, throwing bean bags into a basket, and everyone’s favourite- the obstacle course! 🤸♀️
The Parrots have also been busy making their homes. 🏠 Inside, they have all been so lovely, playing nicely and enjoying time with their friends. ❤️

The Penguins had many outdoors adventures this week! They brought the magnifying glasses to the forest, to look at all the little details! 🔍🍃🐞 They also took photos with a camera, and now those pictures are exhibited in the classroom 😊📸 . Another day, they had the challenge to go through a spider web maze 🕸️🤸🏻♀️. They practised both going over it and going under it. And finally, they had fun getting into the puddles and splashing 💦.

The Hawks had a fun week! To continue our hygiene theme they did some activities related to the importance of soap and how germs can easily spread. They did an experiment in which they rubbed their dirty hands on a piece of bread that they will observe for a couple weeks and see what happens to it. On their gym day, they played games in which they had to practice their balance, aiming and motor skills.
