Worry Dolls

We read the story "Silly Billy" by Anthony Browne.  In the story the boy is very worried about all sorts of things, his Grandmother gives him 'Worry Dolls' to ease the worry.  Pod 3 decided to make our own 'Worry Dolls' to help us when we are feeling worried.  We are going to take them to camp with us to sleep under our pillows.

Help Requested...

If any parents or caregivers are available to help with PMP - Perceptual Motor Programme we would love your assistance.  We have PMP every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and we need people to help set up and put away the equipment as well as working with the children at the stations.  We are looking for people who can commit to these days for about 45mins-1 hour between 8.20-9.20am.  Please come and see me if you are available to assist us.

Thanks Miss Moore

Drums!!

We were learning to repeat, copy and create beats on the drums today!  We had lots of fun!!

Grass Head People

We are learning about the bush in preparation for our upcoming camp.  We have planted grass seed into cups to grow hair for our people.  We talked all about the process of planting seeds, the parts of a plant and what a plant needs in order for it to grow.  We had a lot of fun putting faces on our people!!!  Pop in and see how they are growing or keep an eye on here for updates!

We have been reading the story 'Smarty Pants' by Joy Cowley.  We loved the story so much and can all read it now!  We have made our own smarty pants pictures to go with our stories.

Swimming!

We have been swimming so much that we might grow fins and turn into fish!
