This week our class had one full day inside, one full day outside and one day with a bit of both! While we were indoors we:
Made some new space mud - yellow, with silver glitter
We used rollers, moulds, a masher, duplo
and our imaginations, of course!
We did art with paint and yarn
We put the paint covered yarn on the paper...
...folded the paper in half...
...and pulled the string out!
It made really beautiful designs on the paper.
They will be hanging on the wall in the classroom - if you'd like to check them out!
In the kitchen area we pretended to have a restaurant
Adam did some cooking and also organized a
group of friends to straighten up the kitchen -
It was very neat and tidy afterward!
We built marble tracks
We played with the straws
And the Duplo
Matthew worked on a puzzle
And, of course we did some reading!
Taking a moment for himself, Adam reads this book about the Human Body
We also did some art with chalk and water
It was interesting to see how the chalk looked different when it was wet
Noa is making a page for her book
Ashton shows the book that he made
Clayten showed us a magic trick at circle time
And on Friday, we played "limbo!":
OUTSIDE -
We spent some time in our own sandbox
where we found this big puddle
We had alot of fun digging in it, jumping over it,
And throwing things in it!
Ella found this lady bug on the slide - we took turns holding it gently until it flew away
Since the room was needed for the painters to finish, we went to Queen's Park in New Westminster
Where Weston was excited to see that there was a Fire Truck on the playground!
We had fun climbing on it and pretending to be firefighters
There were also some diggers
They were heavy
But that didn't stop us from trying them out!
In the forest we got to explore - there were lots of logs of various sizes
Clayten found this "dinosaur bone"
They're difficult to see, but there are lots of mushrooms under this log.
We talked about the fact that you should never eat mushrooms that you find outside -
They might be poisonous!
Then we decided to make a house, so we collected some large branches...
...and worked together to build this nifty shelter!
Unfortunately it was time to go before we could finish it!
We've been very lucky to get to do some really amazing out trips over the last few weeks, and now the teachers are excited to think up some more crazy adventures for the class to go on! It has been wonderful getting to explore new places and to witness each of the children react to them! Already we have been asked "when are we going to go back to the beach?" Soon. Very soon!
Excited to go on some new adventures,
Nicole
