We love Discovery Time!

We absolutely love Discovery Time.  We have lots of activities to improve hand-eye co-ordination, co-operation skills, problem-solving or simply to add to our kids life experiences.

Today children could choose from the following:
1.  Peeling and eating a carrot.
2.  Dressing Barbie Dolls.
3.  Creating a train track.
4.  Construction with boxes and tubes.
5.  Play dough.
6.  Maths/counting.
7.  Origami.
8.  Creating land art.
9.  Cutting out a spiral.
10.  Making something out of lego.
11.  Printmaking.
12.  Chalk drawing.
13.  Singing group (led by Morgan and Caitlyn from Room 5).

We had some parents from Cool Dots and Room 9 come and help.  Parents and other family members are most welcome to come along.  Just let me know and I can give you something to do (I promise it will be easy!).

Earlier today we had a cutting exercise at Reading time.

One of Nitika's goals is to use scissors correctly.
She is doing so well - awesome work Nitika!

Xavier would have to be one of the most HELPFUL people I have ever known!
Here he is helping Kian.
