Wind and Air

William drinks from our new water fountain. We used funds from the cycle marathon to pay for it. Thank you moms, dads and all our friends for the sponsorship.

 Leandro and Taydden choose which boxes they want to use for box construction. We are building something that flies in the air. 

 Work in progress!

 

We do an experiment about air in class. We find out about still air and moving air.

It took a long time to make our colourful hot air balloons. Caitlin is weaving a basket. Nick is filling his hot air balloon with newspaper balls.  

 Kristen and Lucas  with their hot air balloons.

Excersizing to strengthen our fingers is part of our daily routine.

We fold, we cut and we paste. Our days are filled with many different activities to keep us very busy at school. 

Christiaan and William concentrate very hard!

Eden also concentrates hard while she works.

 

We made pom-poms and then we turned then into chicks.

We copy patterns to make pictures using Busy Buttons. 

We work very hard at school.  

Mrs. Jerling and Vincent gave the Pre-primary children a wonderful show in the Science and Tech room.

 Mrs. Jerling did lots of experiments for us. It was fascinating!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We practise writing numbers in finger paint.

 

 

 We cut and paste numbers in the correct order. Writing our numbers in our books is fun too.
