As part of Shared Education the children participated in a Global Learning lesson in Term 1. They weighed and calculated the food wastage in one day in the school canteen.
The children focused on Dance during Healthy Kidz with coach Steve over recent weeks. We hope you enjoy their dance moves.
We explored materials and designed our own pirate ship. Our ship needed a crows nest, a helm, a deck and a flag. Just look at our great skills! We then added the value of our ship by counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s to find the total cost of our ship!
This term we have worked on dance with coach Steve on a Wednesday in Healthy Kidz. The boys have been perfecting the HAKA and our girls have been working on The Greatest Showman’s A Million Dreams.
We have had a busy month having fun exploring, investigating and discovering!
We have discussed a lot about our feelings and continue to develop a greater awareness of ourselves, each other and the natural environment. The children have loved being able to help the birds by putting out seeds and fat balls. They enjoyed watching them, learning to identify all the birds that have visited our Nursery garden and listening to their beautiful songs.
The weather has given us lots of opportunities to learn about freezing and melting. We experimented by making iceboats and ice-skating penguins!
We also investigated a variety of materials, explored clay and we even made our own snow!
Winter
Our topic of winter has provided us with lots of opportunities to learn and develop this month. We have been busy doing winter puzzles, role playing in the shop, dressing up in winter clothes and in sparkly materials, exploring winter animals, making tea and toast for snack to keep warm and snuggling up in the quiet room with a blanket and good book!
Outside we kept warm by dancing to the music and singing our hearts out while inside we used our bodies to roll up like a snowball, stand tall and long like an icicle, spread out like a snowflake and melt like ice. It has been great fun!
