The beginning of the Compliment Chain

Here's the very beginning of our Compliment Chain. Every time one of us do or say something nice during the day we will add a link to the chain, let's see how long our chain will be by the end of term 1!

Our Journals

Here are our journals. We will be using them to practice our mark making. We can also use them whenever we feel like drawing or 'writing' something. We keep them on a shelf and they are readily available along with crayons, markers, coloured pencils or pencils.

This week our shape was a circle. 

we could use circle stamps,

or use circular objects to trace circles as best as we could.

or do it free hand, like Marinka!

 

 

 

 

week 4 highlights

Mida sporting the latest swimwear fashion..

Music is in session! 

Falcon doing some cooking while waiting for her parents and Mida and Marinka are trying to sleep.

Free Play

Marinka looking through the red circle. We have started recognising shapes around the room.

 

Falcon found it particularly to her taste.

P.E. time!

On our way to P.E. with teacher Andrea.

Listening and copying what Andrea is telling us do. 

trying to follow the instructions as best as we can! 

Then we got to jumping time!

 

 

 

Beam walking..

 

 

trampoline bouncing..

and taking a book break after all the effort involved in bouncing around. 

Mida went into a bridge spontaneously, Andrea was impressed and encouraged her to do it correctly.

Marinka wanting to learn how to do the bridge.

Making footprints, hoof prints and paw prints

Before plunging into the shallow pool we got to make footprints with paint. WE knew we could make amazing prints with our hands, and it proved, for some to be an interesting experience..
 

Mida enjoyed making straight lines with her footprints.

While Marinka marvelled that her feet could even make them!

Falcon just enjoyed walking around with paint on her soles..

Afterwards, we made animal foot prints, we first got to recognise which animal made them then proceeded on using the animal foot prints stamps to make bird footprints,

bear paw prints, 

cat paw prints

and horse hoof prints.
