This week!

We have had a great week with lots going on.  As you know we had a visiting author Donavan Christopher and since it was a short week again we were very busy with all sorts of things in the classroom.

We are wrapping up our Unit of Inquiry on Friends this week.  We spent sometime looking at how you maintain a friendship.  We watched a clip from Charlie and Lola called - "But we always do it like this"  The children thoroughly enjoyed it and we had a great discussion about what were the problems in the beginning and how Charlie and Lola solved them.  It was very interesting listening to all of the children's opinions.  The children drew what they thought the problem was in the beginning and then the solution.




Elle the Elephant






Elle also came back to visit our classroom. She was helping us with the Gecko Wheel.  We were looking at "Apologising"/"saying sorry" We practiced with Elle saying sorry.  We had to make sure we looked the person in the eye and said their name, then said sorry like we really meant it and why we were sorry.  We did a really good job.  Thanks for helping Elle!







Maths
Great fun on the IPads exploring some games to help us with counting and patterns.  The children seem to really know their way round the IPads.







We also made numbers out of lego which was a favourite with the children 


and for our calendar question we had to build a tower from blocks and see who 
could make the tallest one before it fell.  Look at these....



Some new toys arrived in our classroom this week Hurray!!
Check out the things we have been making!!



and finally a big CONGRATULATIONS to Carla and Sokhwei on recieving a very special award each.  

Carla showed that she is a very CARING person.  She will always help people and make sure that everyone is happy!  Fantastic!!

Sokhwei showed that he is very REFLECTIVE.  He thinks very hard about things and enjoys sharing with everybody his thoughts and ideas.  Super duper!!
