Dancing With Dean

We have been dancing with Dean.

We have been learning to move our bodies using the elements of dance (body, space, time, energy and relationships) and

developing our ideas by exploring how our bodies move and

sharing and talking about the movements we are exploring.

Next week Mrs Gunn is going to video us and try to embed it onto our blog!

Juicing at Discovery Time

Today Mrs Edwards made Juice with some of us during Discovery time.

We had to cut up the carrots and apples and put them in the juicer called 'Oscar'.

We tasted the juice and thought it was delicious and sweet even though it was made out of fruit and vegetables.

We loved making this thirst quenching juice. Thanks to Rachael for coming and helping us too and thanks baby Dominic for being so good and sleeping through the whole process!

Shane Rufer Football

On Friday we had a visit from Shane Rufer. He taught us some football skills. We learnt how to 'dribble' the ball, how to kick and catch, how to thigh and catch and how to play a game of 3 on 3 football!
We had PERSEVER because we were getting so puffed out running around after the ball!
We are going to be practising our new football skills so we can get better and better and better!

The 3 big black Devon Pigs

We went to Poppa Lyons farm and learnt about lots of the animals he has there. Here is the information we learnt about PIGS!
These black pigs are called 'Large Blacks' or 'Devon' pigs.
A boy or male pig is called a Boar.
A girl or female pig is called a sow.
A baby pig is called a piglet.
Sows can have up to 14 piglets.
Pigs don't sweat so when they get hot they push over the water trough and make a mad bath to keep cool!
If we put our hands through the bars while the pigs are eating, they could have eaten our fingers because pigs eat everything!
We enjoyed meeting the Devon Pigs but think they are stinky!

Poppa Lyons Farm

We went to Poppa Lyons farm.
We saw black, stinky pigs.
We saw a donkey with a cross on its back.
We saw lots of sheep and one with horns coming out of its head. It looked like a goat!
We saw geese.
We saw lots and lots and lots of chickens!
We saw some cows.
We loved exploring Poppa Lyons farm. Thanks for sharing all your animals with us!

Biscuit the cat

On Friday, Anita came to school with Biscuit! Biscuit is a boy kitten who lives at Lochie's house. Biscuit was very nosy and loved exploring Room 7.
