Exploring Tuesday

Another awesome day of exploring today. We had lots of fun exploring different activities. Some of the words we discussed during our sharing time were…

Team work – Alyssia and Olivia worked together to traverse the playground. 

Perseverance - Caleb was trying to master the monkey bars as part of a circuit he was doing on the playground. He tried and tried but kept falling off. Finally he did it. Look how proud he was!

  

Slimy and squishy - The children in the sandpit had created an enormous river. Lila and Ckylar discovered it was very slimy and squishy when they stood in it.

Aerodynamic - Charlie and Kalahata tested the aerodynamics of their lego creations. This means they had to have the right shape to fly and reduces the drag from the air moving past. 

We might need to keep practising next Tuesday.

 

Here are some photos and stories about what we did today.

Some of the girls decided to play with the little shop and fake money. They got a calculator and pretended to call each other about their shopping list. 

The children made a enormous river in the sandpit.

A group of girls went to the playground and created their fort using string, a sheet and the playground equipment. Last week it kept flying away so they tried different strategies to make it better. Well done girls.

Some children choose to paint. Dayton was able to create an even better galaxy.
