Discovering is Problem Solving

Room 5 Love Discovery Time!

Blake decided to make a telephone. He and Rangi had to figure out when to put the cup to their ears and when to speak into the cup.

Annabel, Sabine, Tegan, Charlotte and Ron were deciding how to create a minibeast using these different materials. They used pegs, cups, pipe cleaners and crepe paper to make bees and butterflies.

Matthew created some laser googles (which were apparently antiques;)

At Discovery Time we learn to solve problems with each other (taking turns, using I statements and negotiating), and we learn to solve problems that come from creating and making. (How will I connect this? How can I build it higher without it crashing down?)

Ask us what did at Discovery Time on a Wednesday!

Room 2 and the 100th Day of School

Recently the Juniors celebrated 100 days at school. We are now all 100 days smarter!
The day was filled with lots of fun activities including sorting 100 small things into groups.

These photos are of Room 2 children sorting their 100 things into groups that have the same number of things in each group. We all ate lots of delicious food at our shared lunch too. The day ended with a Junior disco in the hall.
