Healthy Foods!!

Our topic this week has been healthy food. I was happy to hear that all the children like fruit and vegetables when asked what their favourite food was. We talked about foods that are delicious such as chocolate, sweets and ice-cream but also discussed that they are not so healthy if we eat too many of them!! The children got top marks in our sorting game of healthy and unhealthy foods. The children obviously know how to make healthy food choices.


We also talked about trying new foods and made 'ants on a log' with celery, cream cheese and raisins. Children were asked to carefully place five raisins on the log and were encouraged to try the taste. The raisins were  the most popular, followed by the cheese with celery coming least favourite I'm afraid!!!

I love raisins!!

Princess Ailynn busted with the remains of the cheese!!!

In our groups this week we have been playing Bingo, telling stories, making pizzas and collaging fruit. A busy week!!

We finished off our day making some arty apples, practicing counting five again with seeds in the middle of our apple.

House Colours Day.

It was lovely to see the children in their house T-Shirts today. Our classroom was soon turned into a colorful display of green, orange, purple and blue as we made collages with everything in our art cupboard!!!

We ended the day with yummy Angry bird cakes to celebrate Phoom's birthday (this Saturday). Happy Birthday Phoom! 

Healthy!!!!

After some sniffles and colds the children are now getting back to swimming. The children are very excited to be back in the water!

This week we have been talking about keeping healthy. We talked about keeping clean, brushing our teeth and how to stop spreading germs if we're sick. We discussed about healthy eating and doing exercise (we will focus more next week) in order to stay healthy.

In numeracy we discussed about shapes; squares, triangles, circles and rectangles. We played games sorting them and trying to describe them, how many sides and how many pointy corners they have. We made some lovely pictures of our free choice, and also made scary monsters counting how many shapes we used. Children tried very hard to draw each shape on whiteboards after listening to their description.
