Preschool Buddies…

January 27th, 2012 Jacky Cowled No comments

This week, we invited Ms. Nat’s class – the Preschool Whale Sharks to come and visit with us!

We chose a buddy and showed them around our classroom. We then had lots of fun playing together.

It was lovely to see so many of the Superstars being such good “BIG” friends, asking their preschool buddy what they would like to do and helping them to find all the things in our room.

Here are some photos of us with our buddies:

Bounce or break …

January 20th, 2012 Jacky Cowled No comments

As part of new “Materials and Properties” unit, we conducted a super fun experiment which we like to call “Bounce or Break?”

The children were shown some objects made of different materials:

* 2 water bottles (1 full and 1 empty)

* A cushion

* A bag of flour

* A metal trash can

* A rubber ball  &

* A water melon

They were then asked to predict what would happen when they were dropped from a very high place …. did they think the object would bounce or break?

Then the fun really began …. all the kindergarten children gathered in the playground, and our special guest Mr. Steve climbed up the stairs to the first floor, ready to drop our objects for us…

See what happened next in the video below!!!

Drum Circles…

January 19th, 2012 Jacky Cowled No comments

Nothing like a little impromptu drum circle to make choosing time a little more exciting!!

(You can’t hear it over the drumming, but the kids were listening to one of their favourite songs “Dynamite” which inspired the rythm!)

Enjoy…
