Discovery Time

Discovery Time

We have changed our focus at Discovery Time to 'Resilience'.  Part of being resilient is to take a risk.  

 There were some things hiding in our sand tray.  Some of us had to take a risk to put our hands in to find out what was in there.  Once we found the pirates we hunted for coins.  We tried to count the numbers on the coins to work out who had the most.

 Some of us took a risk using the hula hoops in a different way.  We played a game where we all held hands and tried to move a hoop around.  We had to bend our bodies in lots of different ways.

 Some of us took a risk and tried to make a pattern we had never made before.  Prapti and Jacob worked hard to copy a pattern that was tricky for them all by themselves.

Some of took a risk to try a new game with our friends.  We had to take turns and listen to those people who knew the rules.  Giant Connect Four is great fun but we need to think hard to work together and get four counters in a row.

Shape Up!

We have been learning about shapes in maths.  We can identify lots of 2D shapes like triangles, squares, oblongs, circles, and even pentagons, hexagons and octagons.  We have been challenging ourselves to identify 3D shapes.  These are fat shapes and they are great for building different things.  Check out our cool buildings that we made in cooperative groups.

Mother's Day Celebration

Last Friday we invited all the special ladies in our lives to come along to school to celebrate how special they are.  We welcomed them to our shared space, introduced them, gave them a pikelet and a cup of tea or coffee.  We then made a photo frame and had a photo with them before showing them some of the activities that we can do at school.  We then sang a song and invited them to join in with one of our favourites.  After that it was time for them to leave and it was our lunchtime.  Some of our visitors stayed for lunch and even had a play in the playground.  We really enjoyed having our special ladies at school with us.  Thanks for coming, we hope you had a great time too!
