Waitresses at Work

Our waitresses this week at the Discovery Time Cafe were amazing!  First they got our onion dip ready.  Spot how collaborative they are, helping each other to solve problems and then make sure that everyone has a turn.

Then they looked after their customers so well.  They showed them to a seat, explained about the onion dip and the hummus and then checked to see that the customers were enjoying their food and time in the cafe.  After all of that, they even did the dishes!  And with big smiles on their faces.  

Congratulations girls on being such wonderful waitresses.

We had some great chatty customers too that gave great feedback on the dips.  It was a split about which one was the best this week.

Come back next week to see what the new menu contains.

Snowmen

These are our finished artworks. We love our fluffy snowmen!

What's on the menu this week?

At our reflection time last week, we decided that we would like to have dip on the menu at Discovery Time.  So it was up to the waiters this week to prepare the classic onion dip and hummus.  They also had to cut the celery into sticks and Miss Browne chopped the very crunchy carrots for us.

Part of the waiters job was to try to teach the customers not to double dip!  There were some successes here.  They also had to help the customers to only have a few pieces of the vegetables so that there was enough for everyone who wanted to try them.

Another part of the waiters job was to ask their customers about their meal at the cafe.  We practised asking the question "Which dip did you like?" and then to ask for more information by saying "Why was that your favourite dip?"  Here are some of the replies including "I liked the hummus because it has lemon."  "I liked the dip because it was smooth."  "I liked the hummus because I have it at home."  "I liked the dip because it was yummy."

We are going to have more dip again next week so that everyone can try this at our cafe.

 "I can squeeze the lemon because we did this at the start of the year when we made lemonade."  Well done Nathan on making connections between your learning!

Humpty Dumpty is broken!

Oh no!  Humpty Dumpty has fallen off his wall and we need to try and stick him back together again!  We were practising our cutting skills as well as showing compassion to Humpty Dumpty.  Once all the pieces were cut out we had to put him back together again, like a puzzle, using sticking plasters to stick him together.

Interchange

Today we started our new interchange rotations.  We started in our Homebase classroom.  In homebase one we are improving our painting skills.  In homebase two we are improving our music skills.  In homebase three we are improving our drama skills.
We had a great time at painting today.  We used shaving foam and PVA glue to make puffy paint.  We used the puffy paint to make the outline of a snowman.  We had to make three circles on our paper.  It was tricky to make our circles puffy and to only use one finger so we didn't squash it down!  It felt very soft and smooth and it made our classroom smell nice.
Next week we are going to begin to paint the background for our snowman.  We also need to make a nose, eyes, arms and buttons for our snowmen.
Hopefully we will see some snow soon.
