Flight.

This week in the Tosswill Centre we were learning about flight through exploration. We pretended to be flying rockets and planes by using cardboard boxes. We blew bubbles and watched them float. We dropped balloons to see how fast they fell. We made paper planes and drew pictures of aeroplanes or rockets. We did long jumps in the sand pit to see if we could take off and Miss Howes asked us to make predictions about which would explode first a mentos and coke or mentos and lemonade. 

Reading time activities.

At reading time when we are not reading with the teacher we get to choose different activities. We can build with lego, make collages, drink our milk, write on the whiteboard and do puzzles. Right now we are very lucky to have Miss Howes our student teacher here so we have two teachers everyday.

Learning about the weather- te rangi.

This week the Tosswill centre have been thinking of "I wonder" questions about the weather and completing weather based activities. We have made rainbows, made binoculars to check the weather,  played with tornadoes in bottles, painted weather pictures, watched weather songs and written our own weather report.

Circus activities.

This week in the afternoon programme  we have been looking at activities related to the circus. We have made clown faces, drawn clown faces, dressed up as clowns, tried juggling and watched Circuses on you tube. We have also played with hoops in the afternoon sun, we tried hula hooping, rolling them and spinning them.
