Discovery Time 29 August

Today we had Discovery Time again.We talked about the Key Competencies we are developing when we choose our activities. Today we talked about Participating and Contributing. We are learning to accept challenges and take risks with new activities. We worked together in groups.We shared and took turns. We all helped to clean up at the end. That is called caring for our environment. Thank you so much to all the wonderful parents, grandparents and friends who came to help us with our sewing activity today. You were fantastic.

Discovery Time 15 August

Today we had Discovery Time.  Our Key Competency Focus is still Relating To Others and we talked about how we need to share, take turns, compliment each other and be supportive.
Our parents had helped us collect lots of boxes and we had so much fun creating and working together.
But...
When we had our sharing and reflection time at the end we decided we had been problem solving heaps because we had to find ways to cut and join the big cardboard boxes. We had a big roll of sellotape and and we had to help each other hold pieces together. Some of our ideas worked and some did not. Hey! That's what learning is about. If it doesn't work the first time, try again!

Life Jackets

Today at swimming lessons we had the life jackets out again. We  were allowed to jump off the side of the pool into deep water. The life jackets kept us safe while we swam back to the shallow water. Our lesson are going so well. One more day to go!

Swimming Popplets

We just got back from our 8th swimming lesson half an hour ago. We are having so much fun and Mrs Eden is very, very proud of our progress. We were all tired so we split into 3 groups and made these popplets with swimming words. You can see us in the photos we took.

Buddy Class Activity

Today our Buddy Class Room 6 came to visit our class. Mrs Eden had shown us how to make a puppet from an envelope. We were able to teach our buddy to make a puppet.
 You need 1 long envelope.

• Seal it.
• Cut the envelope in half.
• Now you will have two square shapes you can put on your hand like a puppet.
• On the open end, cut the two corners off to make 2 triangle shapes.
• These are the ears for your animal.
• Paste on the ears and add the remainder of the features.

Foam Animals

Foam Animals By Nina
This morning in Room 14 we put foam capsules in a plastic cup. They expanded! Bubbles went around the capsules. The colour of ours was blue. Our one was a dinosaur. I was happy and excited.You had to be careful because the water was hot.
