This week of the Autumn school holidays has been so much fun. On
Monday we spent the day being keen scientists doing experiments. We talked about
what a science experiment was and what the out come of our experiments would
be. We built a giant volcano and watched it erupt red lava. We observed
colours bubbling away in milk, made a jellyfish in a bottle and watched
a stream of cola froth out of a bottle when we mixed it with Mentos.
We
danced the morning away on Wednesday and had a dance competition shaking it off
to the music.
Thursday we spent the morning with Stewart a personal trainer. We
played tug of war with a giant rope, did some relay games involving running
,ball skills, boxing and team work.
We have also
been discussing ANZAC Day and read the books "My Grandad Marches on ANZAC
Day" by
Catriona Hoy and Benjamin Johnson and "ANZAC Biscuits" by
Phil Cummings. We've talked about the brave men and women who have served our
country, the ANZAC Day march, and the symbolization of the red poppy. The
conversation has been quite lively and the children came to the conclusion that
the soldiers were very brave.
