What a fantastic week we have had in Angwin room this week.
Party time has continued at our cinnamon scented playdough table with
much discussion about sharing and inclusion. This supported our discussions
about friends and buddies and we recorded some of our ideas on our rainbow fish
outside our classroom.
Our buddies joined us after gym this week and we
discovered that you can use your hands to show people you are their friend. We
held our buddies hands on the way back to Kindy to help show them the way, and
they held our hands to help keep us safe, two very friendly things to do! Can
you think of any other ways we can use our hands to show people we are friendly?
We are going to add our hands to our display about our buddies in the next
week, look for them just outside our classroom.
The making table was a huge hit
this week with children busily constructing with tape and boxes. We will use
some of the ideas we had this week to work on a shared lion dance construction
next week.
Many Angwin students displayed their budding tennis skills at gym
this week and the volley shots definitely had Mrs Bishop and Mrs Rocca running
for cover. It has been very popular so get those tennis racquets out this
weekend and let them show you their winning shots, just don’t stand too close!
Spurred on by Harvey we have begun to create bead stacks and record them using
paper. Children have shown us what a wonderful understanding they have of
numerals by using them to record the amounts in their stacks. We will be
exploring more numerals together as a group next week.
Our exploration of symbols
of friendship have raised some lovely ideas this week, as children creating
friendship bracelets overwhelmingly identified mums, dads and sibling as
friends worthy of a bracelet.
Looking forward to lots more inquiry next week.
