Getting to Know Beckenham Kids!

Room 5 and Room 1 enjoyed 15minutes of shared reading and conversation today. Older and younger students buddied up and had a great time! We know more people in the playground now. Thanks Madeline and Room 5 for creating an AWESOME movie!

Handsome Handwriting!

We are excellent at self managing during handwriting time - our teacher thinks we write like teachers!

Robots

In Room 1 we put the final touches on our robots. We worked as a team and helped each other.









A Safe Place

Today we worked collaboratively to design and build a "safe place" for our chicks ( from the Ready to Read book "the Safe Place"). We tried our best to problem solve and share the tasks:

Collecting natural items from outside for the safe place; Painting the safe place,
And colouring in the hen and her eggs.
Reading time went so fast today!

Autumn Trees...

Here are the Friday Discovery Time painters in Room 4:







We searched Google for ideas for painting Autumn Trees


Science experiments about the weather in Room 12

Check out our experiment in Room 12 with making clouds. We used ice, hot water, matches and glass jars. We had the water in the jar then put ice on the lid. When the match was dropped into the water the smoke formed a cloud!

Skipper the dog

Skipper's kennel floated away in the storm, so Room 4 designed him a new one. 
Then we made "Skipper cookies", that looked like Skipper the dog

Self Managing In Room 4

We are learning to work independently at reading time. We use the  Getting Along Key to share and work cooperatively. We love spending time with our friends, and using kind words and gestures, while we wait for our turn to read with the teacher.
Today we made volcanoes, out of the triangle puzzle and paper mountains!!!




Sometimes we make words with playdough, sometimes we write words with chalk, and sometimes we make plays and dramas. We also love to play hospital.
