Fun Friday's

On Friday afternoons we have Discovey where we can choose to do a variety of activities. Sometimes we colour, draw, play games, dance, build, construct and we even get to eat some of the things that we make.

Our visit to the van

Today we went into the Life Ed van. It was our first time. We got to meet Leonie and Harold. Together we helped Leonie complete the body puzzle and worked out the different parts of the food pyramid. Ask us about how traffic lights relate to the food pyramid. Leonie then introduced us to Tam who showed us where some of the body parts we have been learning about are in our body. We were able to name the heart, lungs, oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and large intestine. We also new about bones and the brain. We can't wait till our next session on Monday. Harold is going to sing us a song!

Life Ed Van

Tomorrow we will be having our first visit to the Life Ed Van. I wonder what we will see and hear about when we go. Please ask us some questions about what we have seen if you see us around.

Coin experiment

We are doing a coin experiment with coke and 10c coins. We have been observing the coins every day. They started off bright and shiny. What do you think will happen to the coins?

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day we made boxes with our buddies help and then we decorated them

With our Room 10 buddies we have made shape pictures using pastel, dye and glitter. Have a look and see what you think. We have also completed our oral assessment talks. We all worked really hard on our charts and making sure we had an opening statement.

Full and empty

For maths we have been looking at whether a container is full, empty, half full or half empty. We went out to the sandpit to practise using different containers.
