Ball skills in Room 1 and 2

We have been having lots of fun with balls, bean bags and balloons.  Earlier this term we had a rotation in the hall.  We moved around different activities to practice different ball skills.

Topic Discovery Last Friday

As I was putting our AMAZING new murals on the wall on Friday I remembered these great photos from last week.  I set the children the Discovery challenge of building and creating natural features from in and around the Hutt Valley.  After the initial bus and building, the children really took it on board and created some amazing things.  Above you can see tree's, rivers, flowers and even a box bird.
This is all part of our topic/discovery topic which is based around Natural features in the Hutt Valley.  This coming week we are going to compare our two Murals (one of the Hutt Valley a long time ago and the other the Hutt Valley now) and ask ourselves what has changed, why has it changed and SO WHAT?
A big thanks to Room 2 who's fabulous mural was our inspiration.
