Don't Eat the Teacher

We read the story, Don't Eat the Teacher, with Rachel. It's a story about Sammy the shark who eats things when he gets too excited. He eats tables, paints, artwork, and even the teacher! We drew pictures of our own sharks who ate different things. 

What do you do when you're excited?

Hurdles with Georgia

Every Monday as part of our Whakawhitinga (interchange rotation), we have a PE session with Georgia from Eastern Community Sport and Recreation Inc. This week, we used hurdles as part of our team relays. We practised jumping over them in lots of different ways. We also did running, star jumps, cross overs and skipping as part of our races. I wonder what our focus will be this week.

My Monster Smells Gross...

Did you know, Rachel has a monster at her house? It's stinky, eats earwax for breakfast and likes to make cupcakes out of bird poo...? EW!

Rachel read us the book called, 'My Monster Smells Gross!' by Kate Leake. We then got to design our own disgusting monsters and we could be as gross as we wanted. There was lots of "ews" from Rachel when we told her what our monsters have. 

Check out our monsters below...

Loose Parts Shed

At the Loose Parts Shed the children were working together to create houses. There was lots of trial and error and laughter as they tried out their solutions. They successfully built a two-storied house then realised that they hadn't thought about how they would get into the house!

 A step was created so that they could climb over the side and into the house. So much fun was had at this activity and it was a shame when we had to pack up. Thank goodness we have the Loose Parts Shed as an option for Choice and Challenge each week.
