Time to Talk

One of our school priorities this year is talking and listening. We have been learning about conversations and how to discuss a given topic in a group. Our topics have ranged from “It’s better to be an adult than a child” and “Children should do chores at home” to ” Children should choose their own bedtimes”

Check out the reactions in the photos! We had a few extremely good debates where children were respectful and considerate but managed to put their own points of view across clearly and with good reasoned arguments.

Circuit Making

We had great fun and super learning experiences trying to make the bulb light up and the buzzer sound!

Winter Tree Silhouettes

We were busy making Winter tree silhouette pictures in art last term. We painted large sheets of paper in various shades of blue.

Then we cut these into strips to so we had little rectangles. We arranged the paper using our blue strips with most white nearest the moon, going out in order to our darkest blue strips furthest away.

We then make winter tree silhouettes, being careful to include some of the ground as well. We think they look wonderful around our classroom door.
