Discovery Time

Our focus this week was on the "Relating to Others" Key Competency. We continued to practice the fundamental skills of sharing and taking turns but also focused on clearly communicating with our classmates. This was especially important during the wooden plank activity on the mat as the kids had to try to work together to build a structure and we discovered that nobody in our class can actually read minds. We also discovered that just repeating the words "No no no no " doesn't give any direction about what you do actually want people to do. It was just as important outside with the bubble blowing - how are people going to know not to pop your bubbles unless you communicate with them?
Just a quick slideshow of some pics of the kid's learning in action.

The Mouse's Tail

Gabriella, Milly, Piper G, Bianca and Rylend performed their first play for us this week. There was a high level of excitement and they all did a great job. Please note...the camera woman is a novice, as are the leading cast members. Also a very noisy class was lined up outside our class awaiting swimming and the caretaker also changed the handtowel roll during our performance so sound quality is marginal. Pop your hearing aids in!
