Watercolour Madness!

We tried a new medium today - watercolour! We used watercolour paints and watercolour pencils. We also got to spray our art to make it run - check out what the colours do in the timelapse at the end of the video.

Caption This!

We created spring paintings using paint and then we wrote captions. Look at our growth mindsets at writing time.

Busy Builders

We have been collaborating to build our houses. We have been learning to share equipment, make sure everyone takes part and share our ideas. We have also been following a criteria. :)

Does the Tooth Fairy visit sharks in the ocean?

Reuben's news was very interesting today. He bought in a shark tooth. We felt it and it was really sharp. We wondered how it was different to our teeth. Our teeth aren't sharp like sharks. Reuben also told us that sharks have rows of teeth.

Collaboration Pie

Ms. Ahearn made a collaboration pie with us in assembly this morning. Here are the ingredients:

1 cup of listening

A sprinkle of kindness

1 jar of talking

1 cup of sharing 

1 cup of helping

1 cup of watching 

Reuben got to mix the pie together. All the mentors are looking for students who are collaborating this week.

Moulding Little Minds

We got curious about making Playdough with Ms.Carmel. What fun! We have been seeing how we can mould it into various shapes including our phonics, birds nests and spirals. This involves pulling, rolling, twisting, pressing and smoothing.
