In the hall

We have been continuing climbing, balancing, and jumping off objects in the hall.

The children are getting more and more confident every time they do it. We have been increasing the challenge each week to help them develop their skills.

This week, the children walked across a tall bridge between two climbing stands.

Drawing with dash

The children have been learning how to use our robot, Dash. He is controlled using the iPad and the children can move him, turn his head, make him talk, ask questions and record their own voices.

The children have been controlling Dash to make him draw and make marks, they enjoyed seeing the circles they could do as he went round and round.

MAGSNAP DOMINOS

Through exploration of what they can do with the Magsnap construction, some of the boys figured out they can make a domino rally. This was the focus of lots of excitement and play, they have continued to make these domino rally's all week and it's just as fun and exciting as the first time.

THE THREE BILLY GOATS GRUFF STORY BY LITTLE ACORNS

Today the children acted out the story of the Three Billy Goats Gruff. First we needed to make a bridge that was strong enough to walk on!

We worked together and used our brains to think of a way to do it, and to solve the problems that popped up along the way.

Once the bridge was done, we walked through the story together and filmed it!

Please enjoy!
