Discovery this week

There were all sorts of things happening in the Ruahine and Kapua teams this week for discovery... art, crafts, physical education, gardening, constructing....!!

We use this time to work on our thinking, creative and collaborative skills (and to work on our perseverance)

    

Getting sporty...

Today we had Darrin from Sport Manawatu come to work with us.  We were working on a few warm ups and some underarm throwing!

More seeds...

We have more seeds growing in our classroom at the moment.... but this time they are not a mystery!  We have a collection of peas, zucchinis, corn?  (I will need to check this with Mrs Mayston).  Already the peas are starting to shoot... more additions to the school garden?

Watch this space... photo to follow...

Tin foil creations...

We are getting creative today!  The class have been making sculptures out of tin foil which we will be writing about next week.  We have been talking about the POWER of acceptance when things don't go our way too!  (Lessons in life #358....)  :-)
