Working Hard

Measuring, Measuring, Measuring!

We have been measuring all sorts of things this week. We made towers and compared them to see whose was taller and shorter, we counted big steps and little feet, we made a line of blocks the length of our friends body and counted how many blocks long they are. We even made paper planes to see who could throw the furtherest. We are talking about what kinds of things we can measure and what tools we can use to measure.

We went to the football court and measured the width of the court by both little feet and big steps. We could see that we didn't get the same answers as each other. When we talked about it and why that might be we had some great ideas. 

Quotes:
"I think it is different because we all have different sized feet"
"I think people that are bigger have bigger steps than people that are smaller"
"Your feet are bigger, so you don't have as many steps as someone with small feet"

We are vey clever here in Kindergarten.

Buddies

One of our favourite things to do on Fridays is to see our buddies from Grade 2/3. Today we got to share our summative assessments with each other. The children were very proud to show their movies, puppet shows, story books, lego movies and book creators. Our buddies also shared their posters, videos, and creations with us about Cambodia. 

Going Green!

After lunch we did a fun activity where in groups the children had to look at a range of items on their table and sort them. As a group they had to talk about it and communicate their ideas to each other. Once they had decided what they wanted to do and how they were going to show it they had to explain and with help write it on the tables.

It was very interesting to see how each group sorted and oganised the materials.

We had certificates this week. A big congratulations to Jeslyn and Elena on receiving a very special award each.

Jeslyn showed that she is a really good COMMUNICATOR. Jeslyn had such fantastic ideas during our imagination unit and would always share them with us all on the mat or when working with her friends. Great Job!!

Elena showed that she is very CARING. We have started a new Unit of Inquiry on 'Going Green' and she has already noticed lots of things that need to be fixed around our school. She wants the rubbish sysem to be better and for people to care for our school environment. Fantastic thinking Elena!
