Get Set Go!

Sports Coach

On Wednesday we did some balancing. When the coach said, "stop" we had to try balance on one leg with airplane arms. We sit down and listened to the coach, the coach picked someone to be the tagger. He gave them a pool noodle and the tagger had to run and tag everybody. When the person got tagged they had to stand like a starfish. To be back in the game, someone had to crawl through your legs. The tagging game was my favourite game because I liked tagging people.

Making Musical Instruments

Todays creating challenge was to make an instrument. This is part of our inquiry about sound. Miss Pryde gave us a pile of old boxed and tubes then she let us go on an adventure hunt for anything that could help us make an instrument. We found lots of noisy things. We found leaves that go crunch, acorns that can make a rattling noise, sticks that can make lots of different types of noises depending on size and how you use them. We all came up with some very different ideas for musical instruments. We are a talented group of musicians. 

Egg Carton Creations

Today Room whitu did some creating. We used egg cartons, eyes, pipe cleaners, pompoms and glue to make insects or animals. Three of our brave boys chose to make crocodiles which after a lot of hard work turned out amazing. Some other creatures that are features are caterpillars, lady bugs, whales, bunnies, butterflies and turtles. How clever are we? What would you have made?

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.
