On Friday we had Discovery Time. We love to make discoveries and explore our thinking while we learn and play together!
This week at Discovery Time we got to be Bug Detectives. We made a bug garden. We needed dirt, sticks, leaves, soil and grass clippings.
Mrs Graham hid some little rubber bugs in the bug habitat so that we could discover them. (Can you remember what the word habitat means?) We talked lots about where bugs like to live...
Some bugs live under leaves and some bugs live in the grass.
We used magnifying glasses to help us be Bug Detectives!
We had clipboards and we had to record how many bugs we found, and what sort of bugs we found in our bug habitat.
Some of us made playdough bugs. We had bug photographs to help us look at the features of all the different bugs. We had a go at making our playdough bugs look just like the bug in the picture.
Pepper Jo's snail is sitting on a leaf!
Jacob is making a centipede. How many legs does your centipede have Jacob?
We did some teamwork to help each other make our bug!Anesh is showing Dhruv how to roll a little sausage shapes to make his caterpillar.
Great job Anesh!
Next we wrote a label to match our bug so we could identify it.
Look at our amazing Playdough Bugs! We took them home to show our families. Can you tell your family what your bug looks like? How many legs does it have? How many body parts does it have? What colour is your bug?
Some of us just love art and learning to colour in! We coloured in a bug jar today, and found a picture of our favourite bug to glue into our bug jar.
What fabulous activities we got to choose from this week!
I wonder what discoveries we'll make next Friday?
Great discovering E6! I had lots of fun with Hope's slug - it felt squishy and squashy like a real slug and smelt a whole lot nicer! Keep up the good work!
