This past week our class arrived to find a mystery at the lego table:
It was empty!!!
At first we used it to play with Ashton's Cobra:
Then we began to discuss where it went:
Domenic: Lego zombies ate it.
Weston: A ghost ate it and went into the wall.
Clayten: Santa came and put it in his sack.
Then we discovered this:
The Lego was in the kitchen!
But why was it there?
We asked Katie and Stuart, who were cooking in the kitchen,
if they were going to cook with it.
They said yes - cookies, blueberry pie, and strawberry cheesecake.
We returned to the classroom to talk about this.
Is it safe to eat Lego?
No
What would happen if the Lego got hot when they were cooking it?
It would melt.
So will they actually cook with it?
No - Katie and Stuart were just joking!
Ok - so why was the Lego in the kitchen?
What happens to the Lego if everyone is touching it all the time?
It gets dirty.
It gets germs on it.
So why might they bring it to the kitchen?
To clean it
How will they clean it?
Clayten suggested that they would put some in their hands and put it under water.
But we agreed that that would take a really long time.
Why was the Lego in those bags?
To put it all under water.
In fact, they were going to put it in the dishwasher!
Mystery Solved!
Some highlights from the week included:
Dressing up as community workers...
...and "fixing" this robot!
Going to Steveston Park
Where we did lots of climbing!
Even up the slide!
Noa, Mayu and Adam took the boat to the beach.
And Erik gave a helping hand to Weston.
We also went to Island Pets!
Where we saw a Moary Eel and a Reef Shark
A bamboo shark
Turtles
And we got to learn about, and touch a bunch of very cool creatures!
Like these baby Bearded Dragons
And this full grown Bearded Dragon!!
So many of the children were brave enough to try touching them,
And everyone found the information about the creatures interesting!
We were all very gentle, quiet and respectful.
We got to watch this baby Chameleon eat.
We also saw baby and "teenage" Corn snakes, a python, and a gecko (with light-sensitive skin)!
For more pictures and information, check out the board in the hallway.
Thanks everyone!
