We began Week 2 of Outdoor Learning Fortnight with some music outside in the school gardens. We played the tambourin to the tune, “Play the tambourin like this”, the bells to “I like to play the bell” and the samba drums to “Have another one, 2, 3”. We then changed the lyrics to suit our weekend news and how we were feeling on Monday morning. The class were really good at keeping a rhythm and playing in small music combos. 🥁🎼🦻🏽👁
We then wrote our Spelling words, some using the ff sound and others with the silent k pattern, on paper and Ninja-sprayed them to life using the coloured paint! 👨🏿🎤👩🏼🎤🧑🏼🎤
Round 2 of Shelter and den building and I was super impressed by the group’s efforts. We discussed how important it was that shelters were water-resistant, spacious (if someone perhaps was claustrophobic; Kayden’s idea), cosy and warm, and easy to assemble and then take down.⛺️🪒
We couldn’t resist an impromptu game of Limbo when the bungee cables were so inviting…
and then a well-earned game of Hide and Seek to end off the afternoon.
On Tuesday, we took the bikes out to see what everyone’s capabilities were before our trip on Thurs afternoon. 🚴🏼♂️🚴🏼♀️🛴
We played Game of 1️⃣5️⃣and Knoughts and Crosses outside in pairs during Maths time.
We went to the Eco Garden this morning to do some Drama outdoors. We transformed common objects (like the apple) using our imagination. It became a teleporting device, a future-telling crystal ball, a football, a nuclear bomb and an arching, flowering tree. We also worked together to create freeze frames of a particular scene, and then brought them to life and performed them to an audience.
What amazing actors we have in Class 2…all about the DRAMA and action and never a dull moment haha!🎬🎟🎫
Excited to keep you posted with our next Outdoor Learning adventures!
