Finding Out About Each Other

We are beginning to find out about each other through play. We are having fun playing kitchens, playing with cars, drawing, building and threading! During our activities we are learning how to cooperate, share, solve problems and find out about each others talents.

I Wonder ...

We are continuing to  wonder about things in our environment. This week we wondered how things would look through different coloured glasses so we made our own glasses - some with red lenses and others with green lessons.
Before we made our glasses we looked through our classroom window and spoke about what we could see in the playground. We saw many things, such as  green grass, orange litter, blue monkeybars, a yellow steering wheel, blue running track and brown crunchy leaves.
We made our glasses and then went outside to explore these objects through the different coloured glasses.
We discovered a few things -

• the green lenses didn't change the colour of things as much as the red lenses
• the green colours looked purple through the red lenses
• the clouds look pink through the red glasses
• the blue rubbish bins looked purple through the red lenses

We are going to mix paints next week so we are beginning to wonder how these colours will change.

Clean Up St. Lukes!

On Friday we worked with our Environment Team leaders to clean up the quadrangle of our school for 'Clean Up Schools Day'. We found different types of rubbish - food, wrappers, paper, apple cores and lollipop sticks. Our school looks alot cleaner after our BIG clean up!

Blocks in Socks

Today we discovered the difference between 'most' and 'least' when we had to order the socks with blocks from 'least' to 'most'. We also found out that 'guessing' is the same as 'estimating' when we had to feel and predict how many blocks there were in each of the socks. We had heaps of fun doing this activity.

Hairy Harry

We have just started school and we are learning about how to inquire.
We are wondering about 'what seeds need to grow?' Part of our wondering has been to make Hairy Harry. Some of our Hairy Harry's will have no soil, no light and no water so we will watch them and see what happens. Hairy Harry on PhotoPeach
