Hello everyone and welcome to another fabulous day in RSA and RKS.
We began our day with literacy rotations. This included continuing on with our books about filling up our buckets using positive, green choices. We also explored letter symbols and their formations at our play dough spaces. The learners were very eager to construct their names using the dough and letter shapes, showing great confidence and perseverance.The students also enjoyed a shared story time with Mr Winters with one of their favourite
In Drama today children learned about ‘role-play’ where they were given the task to choose a character, become that character and set a scene with a partner. Children were able to practice their scene and perform it in front of the class as an audience.
Meanwhile, with Ms Iolanda, the children took part in our Science inquiry about the weather. Children engaged in a brainstorming session to share what they already know about the meaning of ‘weather’ and what they think of.
Here are some of our learners thoughts:
Matilda: ” It’s like when you see rain outside”
Audrey: ” When the weather gets cold outside it is winter and when it’s hot”
Jayden: ” Raining outside”
We then took some time to reflect on today’s weather outside, peering out our window to prompt our thinking.
Grace sharing: ” It’s sunny outside today.”
Ayva: ” Hot!”
Emmett: ” Oh, it’s warm.”
We then engaged with our senses and unpacked the meaning sharing our ideas and understandings with our peers.
What does the weather look like?
What does it feel like?
What does it sound like?
This will lead us into our science weather inquiry.
After lunch the students were invited for some quiet meditation time as they listened to quiet, soothing music.
Ellie had a very special show and share. She had brought in a very special snake skin and we were all intrigued. Ellie shared that it had come from her snake at home. This had opened up some discussion about how the snake shed its skin. Ellie had kindly let her friends have a little touch and feel of the skin.
Later in the afternoon they were ready for some fresh air and play outside. We headed to the log park for some nature play and gross motor movement.
Overall a great day 🙂
