House of sticks

 This week for our provocations the children were making a house of sticks for the 3 little pigs. There were lots of pieces of wood and the children thought about how they were going to create a living space for one of the pigs. There was lots of discussion and consultations about what to do. They came up with a teepee style house. They used pieces of wood, making a triangular shape and lots of tape. As they went along they added pieces of wood and kept on taping it together. They figured out that someone needed to be able to sit inside-they all needed a turn at this stage obviously!  Finally they found lots of material to decorate it with. It looked fabulous. Let’s see how long it lasts. Tomorrow we will use a hairdryer to blow the house down just like the Big Bad Wolf!

Green Zone

 Today we did a little more work on Zones of regulation. We looked at the Green Zone (joy/calm).  As a class the children had the opportunity to discuss how they feel when they are calm. We talked about times when we feel calm. Meditation music calmed us all down and the children lay down and thought about quiet green spaces like forests or soft grass. 

We made some trees with our arms and used finger paint for the leaves to create our own forest of calmness. 
Next week we will try some poems to do with our senses to build a bigger picture of calmness. Watch this space for our completed art work next week.

 

Golden Time Games

 Today Kakano 1 spent some time for Golden Time playing in teams. Most teams were in 3’s. we did some skipping, running, hopping, side stepping and jogging. Everyone seemed quite content just to participate and no one was concerned about the winning teams. It was a lot of fun. Thanks Kakano 1 for lots of laughs. Well done to our brave little souls who got a few scrapes on the way. You all showed resilience by carrying on! You are a fabulous class and I’m ever so lucky to be part of your learning journey.
