Making Our Own Coins

Today we looked closely at coins using the magnifying glasses. We discovered all coins have a head on it, the date, New Zealand and the Queen's name. We made our own coins using our heads and names. They are up in the Discovery Room.

Special Faces

This morning at Explore Time we made some fun faces using the decorated stones.

Visual Art Sculpture

This term in Visual Art we are learning about Sculpture. Today we used plasticine to make a design for a new Olympic medal. Next week we will make out medals out of gingerbread dough and bake them. Our medals will be on display int he Discovery Room.

The Room AB Shop

As part of our learning about Money we have a shop in the Discovery Room. We love using the money to buy items! There are rules to the shop - only one person can be the shop keeper. They wear the yellow hat and the apron. We also have to tidy up at the end.

Gymnastics

For PE for the first 5 weeks we are doing Gymnastics with the PMP gear in the hall. Check out the photos of our first session.

S is for Snake!

The Room A children made these great snakes to help them remember the letter "s". Come and see them up in the classroom.
