Sprouts

 Last week Sam started the children off with our next growing experiment.  They used a sprouting jar and got some quick results.  

Today we tried eating them and, believe it or not, I heard lots of kids saying'Yummy!"

There were no sprouts left!

Success!

Using Loose Parts

We have containers of lots of equipment.  They have been purchased with a purpose but our creative kids come up with all sorts of things using them.  This is called loose parts play. 

Here are some examples of their creative ideas.

Koru Art

Some of the Room 2, Karaka, children have been using koru designs to make their family.  They chose the koru size that suited each person depending on their place in the family.  Then they thought of a colour that suited that person.  When we have finished we will share them all.

Fun in the leaves

Today we collected leaves for our art. After we were finished, we played in the leaves.

Next week we will be focusing on how we keep each other safe at school.  This is a song some of us will be sharing with the children.

I hope you enjoy it!  Important messages shared in a funny way!

See you on Monday!

Anna and Kelly get new hair styles!

Sophie and Sammy have been at school and their challenge was to come up with a new hair style for their teachers. 

See what they thought!  What do you think we should do?

If you don't have a printer look at the pictures and discuss them together.

What else do you do to look after yourself at home and school?

Finding calm – this will need a parent's help to read and discuss how we can find some calm in certain situations  - lovely easy activity though.
