Dear Mattingley Families and Friends,
This week we were in charge of setting up the Workshop area for
all the children in our ELC to use throughout the day. We spoke
a little bit about what we thought we might like to set up, but the real action
happened when we went to the store rooms to see what we could find. Working
together we were able to carry the big foam blocks from the outside shed all
the way to the Workshop. They were very heavy, but using our problem solving
skills and team work they all made it to where they needed to be. We look
forward to building many wonderful things with them over the next few
weeks.
When we were in the store room Chloe noticed a model of a human
body and asked if we could take it back to our classroom for a closer look.
Setting it out on the table we soon realised it was a bit tricky to work out
what all the different parts were and where they fit in the body. Luckily we
found a wonderful encyclopedia in our ELC library all about the human body.
Using this as a reference, and a little help from Mrs Bishop we were able to
work out the different parts and where they went inside the body. This lead to
discussions on the different body parts and what their jobs are.
Miss Mason can you help me put the body together? I don't know how
it goes. I'm not a doctor- Chloe
What's a human body?- Samuel
This is from the body. There's an eye and a nose- Laila
It's the face- Chloe
This big bone is your tail. it helps you to wiggle your tail-
Laila
This is your skull. your brains go in there- Samuel
I wonder how many bones are in your body? Mrs Mason
Um..... 89 hundred- Chloe
Next week we will continue our research into the human body and
how it works. We will start with answering the question about how many bones
are in the human body? I wonder what we will find out?
We hope you have a lovely weekend,
Kimberley and Coney
