We are creative!

We are so proud of the quality of work we are creating at Discovery Time. 
We  love getting our photos taken when we produce excellent work and sharing them 
with you on the blog. 

Look at our awesome ninjas and spooky spider masks!
Fantastic ghostly cards for Halloween!
Frightful hair! Perhaps they saw our spooky cards and masks!

Thank you Lewis for getting these Minions organised for everyone. 
They were so popular we had to photocopy more!

Thank you also to Fynn, Eden and Maisie from Room 6 who got this cool card idea from their reading ready for us this week!

Keep practising for our Junior Athletics next  Friday.

Reading! Reading! That's What we Love to Do!

Oh yes we do!!!

We have read so much already this term.

A book everyday.

Book covers.

Bookmarks.

Bookworms.

We could probably read books standing on our heads I think.

We started book week off with a story about JAM. The Giant Jam Sandwich to be exact.


We made Jam Sandwiches to eat while we read the book and made our own display of sticky Jam and bread with ooey gooey wasps and bugs stuck on them. You must pop in to see them.

Here are some of our Bookmarks.....

Zak and Matthew made Robots after reading a great book about them.

Of course I'm not at school the rest of the week. But I have seen some photos in the Office that look amazing!! I can't wait to chat to all the Room 7 children about their fun BOOK WEEK parade.

Now don't forget the Read Your Way to Christmas Race this term!!!

I hope you are having and have had a fantastic long weekend folks.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to the new term. We have a busy one planned with lots of fun and exciting events including a pet and craft day.  We have also begun training for our Athletics day with lots of practice over the hurdles this week.

Clifford came to remind us about book week next week.  Remember to come dressed as your favourite book character on Friday. I can't wait to see you all!
Discovery Time is always fun filled learning!  
 We all focus very hard and try to do our very best work! I love the way you work together and help each other to solve problems! Ka pai!
Check out some of the ideas we get to choose from. 
Printmaking using corks, cotton buds  and potatoes!

 Thanks Caden for bringing along these popular slingshots! We loved making Fynn's cool invisible messages using vinegar and lemon juice. 
Beautiful ballerinas in tutus!  Minions too!
 After reading the tale of the Gingerbread Man we designed and decorated our own! Thanks Janine for your help!  They tasted delicious!  We then  used our green hats to come up with lots of new ideas about how the Gingerbread Man could cross the river and escape safely!
