D is for Dot!

Yah for International Dot Day....September 15th.  We had an awesome time at Redwood School today...the kids looked awesome in their spotty dots and we did some cool dotty learning!!

Maths was all about subitizing...lots of good learning recognising dot patterns.

Thanks to the PFG for the dots of pikelets for morning tea.

The kids were all mixed up and went all across the school to different classes  to do all kinds of fun art activities.

We spent the afternoon making our own version of the Press Here book....you will have to stop by and take a read.

THEN we had another treat....Lexi had read the book You Can Make a Happy Cake, and guess what...she did...Thanks Lexi, your happy cake sure made us happy on Dot Day!

K is for Kitchen Science

We've been having some fun with our kitchen science topic.  We spent time looking at cooling and now we are looking at mixing.  It was very timely that Miss Gargan got a special mission from New World Little Kitchen.  She made this video clip and it has been uploaded to the New World Little Kitchen Website.  We are going to be learning about heating next.  Lots of fun!

P is for poi

Our big book inspired us to make poi today.  Our kind big buddies in Room 17 did the plaiting for us in the morning, and we made our poi this afternoon.  Miss Gargan showed us a couple of moves she knows...we will have to practice lots to learn how to do these.
