Grumpy Bear art and stories

Our shared book this week was Grumpy Bear. We decided to make our own bears but could change the personality. The learners loved talking about their feeling and different personality types.

Here are some of our stories.

Learning through play - Maths, discovering different concepts.

We are doing our learning through play. These learners decided to use different maths equipment and are in the process of discovering different math concepts including number recognition, sorting, making and breaking and matching. They had lots of discussions and were keen to share what they had made with others.

Flying Fives- Outside Play

This week in Flying fives we did outside play. Learners could choose from various activities and had multiple opportunities to socialise, use and extend their vocabulary and negotiate with their friends.

These learners are hard at work at the constructing table. They hammered in nails and built a bridge and a house. 

Here are a few boys digging a 'tunnel' into the flying fives room. 

It was also a lovely day to do some water play. Sila decided to make some mud cakes to feed everyone that was working hard on the tunnel. 

Kiwi sport

Mr Ogilvie has talked to kiwi sport and we are lucky enough to be doing dance this term.  Here we are learning different ways to move to music.

Flying Fives

At flying fives this week we learnt a new skill. We learnt how to wind a glue stick up to the proper height and back down again.
