Week 6 Discovery

What a great opportunity to slot in our weekly Discovery today, as the championship swim sports were finished before lunch. Yes, we were all really excited, as we were competing at the triathlon at our usual Discovery time.

Some photos of our learning today. Our goal for next week is to work better as a team at clean up time, as today some of us kept making and then didn't get the opportunity to share, which is a really exciting part.


"I'll take a photo of you with my camera, while you take a photo of me."


Yes Baz, a little bit of practice before Friday. Bella is helping Tamai and Jasmine. We will have ukeleles in the room so that we can choose to play them as a "can do" activity. We are looking after them carefully, and we helped each other to tune these before we started. 


Finally we have our water station up and running. Lots of measuring, pouring and playing going on here.




Today we had a 'magic trick' to try with water and paper.



 Go Taine, who managed to hold a glass of water upside down with a piece of paper keeping the water in. He managed to do this for a whole minute. Why does this work? 


What a real favourite these are. Thank you Mrs Stratford for sharing these from home. Check out how they look in a photo when they are spinning! Real cool!







Yes, our favourite, making station - all sorts of cranes, mini houses and anything else you want to think of are being designed and created. What fantastic imaginations. Next week our poetry activity is to design a leprechaun trap! I can't wait to see what this imaginative bunch come up with. We will be making these on Friday. We will label our design and make a list of what we need to bring to make this. I have been saving supply of tubes that I get from the deli - thank you Jenny and New World. I'm sure they will come in handy.




Jasmine and Mark-Allan hard at it. This is such a different kind of learning Jasmine.
