The Big Playground

Today we went to have a play on the Big Kids playground after everyone had gone back to class. It was such an awesome adventure!

Getting adventurous and learning new things with our peers.

Experimenting and strengthening capabilities.

Working together to help each other up. So good to see the developing co-operation and laughter.

Shrove Tuesday

Today we celebrated the day before the beginning of Lent by making pancakes in class. They were delicious!!!

Developing fine motor skills

We have been learning how to make the letter

-l-, or tall stick as we know it. Many of the children have undeveloped pencil grips, so we have been working on strengthening this using chopsticks. Other skills developed here are colour matching, concentration and PERSISTANCE- keeping at it even when it is tough.

Learning through play

                     

I love the way these boys work together. Serious problem-solving. Together they decide and continually run ideas past each other. They good manners and encourage each other.

Learning through play

I love the problem solving that is happening here. Not giving up, even though the glue stick was clearly not doing the job. Again, checking in with peers about ideas on how to improve the construction.
