Discovery Time Again

We had Discovery Time again today.Our focus is still Relating To Others and Self Management. Our activities included building with blocks, painting on black paper with cotton buds, a craft table, box models, learning to play padder tennis, exploring with magnifying glasses and making patterns with Duplo. We had reflection time at the end of the session. Here are some of the ideas we discussed: - It was easier to use the tennis bats if you just do little hits first. - It was fun building the patterns and following instructions with the Duplo. - Everyone had to collaborate to make the big block construction. - If we put the teddies close together it was harder to keep them all standing up. - We see lots of interesting detail when we look carefully through the magnifying glasses. - It is hard to cut the cardboard but friends can help you. - It feels really good when friends give you a compliment. - Discovery Time is a happy time. - The pipe cleaners were not so easy to cut because there is wire inside them. - The feathers and pompoms were fun to explore with on the craft table. - We enjoyed painting on black paper. Some people did not help with cleaning up. We are a team in Room 14 and that means we need to all help keep our environment clean and tidy. Learning With Friends
