Sorry its been a long time since we lasted posted on. Here are some of the things that we have been up to lately.
We began soccer coaching sessions with George from Nelson Football.
We are lucky enough to have six sessions with him throughout this term
During the recent buddy time we helped our little buddies from Room 11 with their skipping. Our little buddies had to hold onto our waists whilst we turned the rope. We had to help them try and jump at the right moment
This term our topic is called 'Stick It'. We are exploring all the different ways things are fastened. Then we will explore fastenings suitable for masks as we build up to the mask parade at the end of this term. To kick off this unit the teachers acted out the story
of the The 3 Little Pigs. Following this Sally set us the challenge of creating a house suitable for a 4th little pig. She gave us 1m of masking tape, 15 sheets of newspaper, some staples and stapler, gluesticks and PVA glue.
There were many interesting and creative designs. Some designs worked well and others not so well. Here we are creating!
As part of our inquiry topic 'Stick It' we have been exploring fastenings, and in particular fastenings on clothes. This last week we became fashion designers for our class mascot George the monkey. First we had to decide on what we were going to make for him (or his imaginary sister Georgina). Our ideas ranged from Soccer Shirts, dresses, t-shirts, vests, bow-ties to tail warmers! Then we had to draw our design and decide how our clothing would be fastened. Then Melissa, one of our kind parents came in and helped us sew them. Sally thinks we did a fab job and enjoyed seeing people problem-solving and learning new skills.
