Today we enjoyed a wonderful day of belonging and learning.
MUSIC
Outside, we enjoyed playing various instruments including xylophones, tambourines, castanets, clapping sticks and egg shakers. We practiced different beats and playing music fast, slow, soft and loud. We enjoyed singing various songs such as ‘Twinkle, twinkle Little Star’, ‘B-I-N-G-O’, ‘5 Little Speckled Frogs’ and ‘1,2,3,4,5 Once I caught a Fish Alive’.
BELONGING – WHAT IS A FRIEND?
We continued to develop our understanding of ‘belonging’. We watched the following Sesame Street song and then discussed ‘what is a friend?’
Tesi: Share his favourite toy.
Will: Share the food.
Joel: We share the cookie.
Liam: Share his favourite ice-cream.
MORNING TEA – BELONGING
With such beautiful weather today, we had a ‘picnic’ morning tea outside. It was a lovely opportunity to sit together, eat together and demonstrate our belonging. We also took some time to ‘look up’ – and we admired the trees, sky and sun as we listened to the many sounds of the birds that live around us.
KITCHEN SCIENCE – RAINBOW EXPERIMENTS
Today, we continued our investigation of colour and rainbows with another experiment.
On a plate, we poured some milk and used the pipets to drop food colouring into the milk. We then dipped a cotton bud into dishwashing detergent and placed this in the middle of the milk and food colouring mixture. We were amazed by what happened.

Joel:The colours splashed and the colours mixed to purple and blue and it make a rainbow experiment.
Max:It made a rainbow and it was beautiful
