Its all about Space!

The children have loved our new topic, 'Space!' It has been a great hit and I have really seen the kids imagination come to life as they all have new and fun ways to express what they think about space. Everyone joins in with different activities as well as come up with their own which inspires some great creativeness. Junk modeling has been very popular and is providing good physical development needs such as cutting and stacking pieces together using tape. This really makes the kids think critically about what their rocket ship might look like. The construction corner has turned into a space station and allows the kids to build spaceships using various blocks. Everyone has come together and is learning to work together as they help build a rocket ship and blast off to the moon together. Great team work! There have been some alien stomping dances going on as well as play dough aliens in underpants. 



Finding our own creative ways to express and learn about Space!






















Aliens love Underpants!










I look forward to seeing you for our Learning journey conference.Thanks to the parents that have already been in, it was a great experience! Here are some fun songs the kids have been singing along to in class.

Magic train ride!

The children loved learning the story of the 'Magic train ride.' This story really helped the children begin to use their imagination more and think of fun places that their train could go to. We talked about where the magic train went, what we saw, and where we would like our magic train to go. The kids enjoyed making their magic train ride book and looking at the different places. They even loved singing along to the song. Take a look at the kids reading along to the magic train ride with their very own book that they made.

The kids did a great job at role playing our story and then putting together their very own book! Well done everyone. Hope the kids were able to share their story with you and even make up their own story to go along with the pictures!
