At the nearby playground

As a reward for all their great effort at filling the 'marble jar', KR enjoyed a play.

Thank you to Mrs Mayo and Mrs Kelly for accompanying us.  KR thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  It was a great time of enjoying friendships, practicing patience and self-control, exploring, inventing games, and showing kindness to each other as they awaited their turn on the flying fox (well sort of a 'flying fox').

SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

 

Since term 1 KR have been collecting seeds from the fruit they have had during munch and crunch.  We have been doing this in the hope of doing a unit on plants and spring - and now we are finally doing it!! 

As part of our unit on spring KR have planted their munch and crunch seeds as well as some sunflower seeds.  Here are some pictures:

Munch and crunch seeds:

First we had to peel the tough skin from the mandarine and orange seeds (a tip from 'youtube'!)

Our Munch & Crunch seeds:

Here the seeds are after 4 days (they had already sprouted - we couldn't believe it!!):

As an experiment we also placed a planted seed into a dark cupboard to see how it will grow without any sunlight.  These and more pictures are to come - stay tuned.
