We started the day with remembering about maps and used this knowledge to create a map of where we meet, talking about areas we can and can't go in, and why.
Our picture book today was called 'A Beach Tail' by Karen Lynn Williams. The boy in the story was also given guidelines for where he could go on the beach and he used his imagination to discover many treasures in the sand.
The sun was shining and the tide was out, so off we went to the beach to discover our own treasures, collecting some and photographing others. Look at some things we discovered and did:
After lunch and a bit of tricky singing in rounds, we shared our beach treasures and had a chance to either draw them or create treasure maps of where we found them.
Finally, we were taught how to do wet felting. So relaxing and fun.
Ideas for home:
- What treasures do you have at home? Why are they special to you? Write a story about one, create a treasure map for it or sketch it.
- Why do people have things like rules or guidelines? What are some in your home and why are they important? What are some for New Zealand? Why are they important? Are there any rules or guidelines that you disagree with? Why? Do you think any more are needed in your home or New Zealand? Why?
- At the beach today, we found many treasures. We also found some litter and tagging. Why do you think people litter or tag? Is there anything we could do on Thursdays to help fix this problem? What about during the rest of the week? Bring any ideas to share with us next time we meet.
Coming up...
Depending on the weather, we have plans for activities with magnifying glasses, kites, paper planes and milk. Can't wait!
