Life Education

Room 7 had their second session with Harold and Nicole today. The students got an opportunity to talk to Harold's puppet friends about their worries. We are getting good at sharing our feelings in the different colour zones. The blue zone is sad, yellow zone is worried, green zone is happy and the red zone is angry. When we have identified what zone we are in, we work together to find ways back to the green zone. This looks different for each student.

We also had a think about if we got lost and what we would do. We talked about our addresses and how it's important to know them so we know where to go if we do get lost. We are writing letters to our parents and are going to send our letters to our parents using our addresses. This ties in with our Inquiry topic, safety. 

Learning From Home - Vili

During this unusual time, our kiddos have been learning from home and what wonderful learning is being done. Vili is working his way through his own challenge sheet. For this challenge, he had to find something in his house that started with every letter of the alphabet. How awesome is his bubble for doing such a wonderful job? He couldn't find anything in his house that starts with an X, can you think of a word that starts with X?
Awesome learning Vili.

Flying Fives

Today was our first day at flying fives for 2020. We go every Thursday and we love it. There is something for everyone and we never get bored. Sometimes we play by ourselves, sometimes we play with people and sometimes we just work alongside one another. Whatever we are doing, we are having plenty of fun and learning plenty too. What is something you enjoy playing with?

Fun at Flying Fives

Every Wednesday we go to Flying Fives. We love flying fives because we get to play with lots of cool things. We play in the kitchen, we build with lego or on the construction table, we play dress up, make puppet shows, create works of arts and sometimes we do activities. Today we were platting wool for our bags. It was hard for our little fingers but we had fun doing it anyway. Keep an eye on our blog to see what our bags look like when we have finished them.

Teamwork Towers

Every Tuesday Mrs Collins teaches us something special. This term we have been learning about smart relationships. We have talked about smart relationships with our parents, teachers, friends and even smart relationships with people online. On Tuesday we put our smart relationships to the test and we worked together to build a tower out of dried pasta and marshmallows. The tower had to stand by itself for three seconds and the group with the tallest tower won. We all tried very hard but there could only be one winner. Congratulations to Dito and Yavi for their freestanding tower that stood at a whopping 31cm tall.

Kindness and Oat the Goat

Today in Room 2 we were learning about being kind.  

Mrs Collins showed us a movie about Oat the Goat and how he chose to be kind.  

We came up with lots of ways we could be kind to our friends, our teacher and our families.

We learnt that if you smile at someone they smile back at you - we were sharing our kindness...
