Dear Families
and Friends,
We have been
having a fabulous time with lots and lots of cardboard boxes!! Thank you Kerryn
and Harry! The children have been so creative and inventive with the way they
have collaboratively worked on some joint projects this week… We have explored
fireworks, watching You Tube clips, painting them and even creating a “fireworks
fire engine” with cellophane and fairy lights…
Harry B: I’m making little holes they could be
lights!”
Oliver: It will glow up when I put the
cellophane on”
Harry B: It’s getting light.
Denver: I am the cellophane man!
Next week we
are looking forward to creating some fireworks noises in the workshop!
Some of our
friends have explored their interest in cows… watching some You Tube clips of
cows, studying their photos, and working together to create our own class cow…
Romesh: Cows give us milk that we have on our
cereal … I like cows! They have 3 legs…
Mrs C: Are you sure? Let’s look at the photo together…
Romesh: They need 1, 2, 3, 4 legs! … They have to
be the same (height) otherwise the farmer will fall off!
The children
are just so motivated and learning so many things, from how to join two boxes,
to cutting holes in thick cardboard, to
taking turns and even using a metre ruler! There has been some fabulous
discussions and interactions, collaborative work and problem solving going on…
We now have a sheep and even a chicken emerging from more boxes!!
We can’t wait
to go further next week!
Many Thanks,
Pip and Coral
