Discovery Time and Action Stations

Discovery Time with Rooms 6 & 7

We have just had our second week of Discovery Time. The children are really enjoying themselves. Some of the activities that we have had so far are:

• Outside - Skipping, Parachute Games, Hoola-Hoops, Ball Kicking and Hockey.

• Inside - Biscuit Icing, Drawing, Playdough Creations, Popcorn Making and Board Games.

Activities will vary from week to week. It is great to see the children working well in teams and best of all having fun during this time. Here are some of our reflections from the end of the day when we reflected on Discovery Time.

                 "I can't wait until Discovery Time next week." 

                  (Kera)

                " Icing Biscuits is so much fun. I liked using the coloured sprinkles and the                           chocolate sprinkles." 

                  (Justine)

                " It was fun making a dragon when I was using the playdough with my friends."                   (Corbin)

Action Stations - 8:30am-8:55am.

The children are arriving at school and settling into their Action Stations well. These activities range from Cars, Board Games, Buddy or Team Challenges, Whiteboards and Big Books and Poems.

Keeping You In Touch With Our Learning

Room 6 News 

Room 6 have settled back into school routines well. We welcome Kera, Koki and Sid to Room 6. We have been working on Statistics in Maths. The children have been collecting data on a range of topics and then presenting their data on to a graph. They then interpret this data from the results they have come up with.

Growing As A Learner

In Room 6 we have been thinking about the things that help us grow in our learning. We have had many discussions around this. The children have set a goal around one thing they want to focus on to help them grow in their learning. We will keep a track of this goal together to monitor progress and to make their next step. We are also working on Art activities that also incorporates this theme.
