Working with wire

 As part of our exploration of the 100 language.  Room 1 and Studio 8B4 investigated the language of wire.

Our challenge was to complete an animal (with four legs) that could stand on its own.

Here are some of the successful creations.

Well Done to our certificate winners

Loose objects numerals

In the Sensory Room the children were challenged to make the numbers 1- 10 with their buddies using the materials in the room.  They certainly came up with some unique ideas.

Weekend Stories

I asked the children to imagine themselves in the weekend.  From this they had to choose one word to tell us about what they did.  The next round we chose another word that went with the first word.  From here the children used the first two words to start their sentences about an event in the weekend.
