Beautiful Opps

Today we read ''beautiful opps!'' This story is about turning something simple like a piece of scrap paper and turning it into something beautiful. 

Calvin made a silly woodpecker. 

Ivan turned his piece of paper into a rabbit eating a carrot! 

Ben made a lava (love) volcano.

Amelia made a person smelling an apple pie.

Blakely made a roller skate.

Jeff made a beach and Rayon made robots.

Emma made a bird and Ethan C made a scooter park.

Madison made a boat and Imogen made a sun.

Isla made a walking track and Nancy made a house.

We had lots of fun learning about how we all think differently and creatively. We loved turning scrap pieces of paper into something BEAUTIFUL. 

The Dot

 On Tuesday we enjoyed reading The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. 

 The book is about Vashti who discovers her artist talent after struggling with her confidence. She then uses what she learned to help other be more confident. 

We then had a go at making our own ''dot'' picture. We used dye, vivid, watercolors, felt pens and crayons. We got to decide what we wanted our picture to look like and what materials we wanted to use. 

Swimming

We have enjoyed our time in the water over the past few weeks. 

We have become more confident in the water. It has been cool to use our goggles to see under the water and blow bubbles!

Some of us have been practicing floating on our back and using the board to help us float. 

We loved making a splash!!

Giraffes - Fantastic Fungi

The Giraffes reading group has loved learning about different Fungi this week. 

We have learned lots of new information from the book. 

Today during reading we decided to draw some of our favorite fungi from the book. We talked about the interesting colour, shapes and textures that we could see in the pictures. 

Happy Diwali

Our big book this week was called Diwali.

Diwali is the Indian Festival of light and is celebrated during late October or early November. It celebrates the beginning of the Indian new year. We made happy Diwali cards and drew rongoli patterns to celebrate Diwali this week.

We were excited getting the new connex today

We are trying really hard to look after our equipment and make sure we don't take it outside
