Discovery Time

Today, we started our Discovery Time sessions.  This is a bit like choosing time.  The teachers had lots of different activities set up in the classrooms and outside, and we worked with all of the kids in Wharemauku not just kids from room 6.  Today, lots of room 6 people went and played in the sandpit with the new sandpit toys.  Some people made castles in the sand.  Other people built things with the wooden blocks and with the boxes.  There were lots of other things to choose too, dress ups, play dough, lego, craft activities, painting, water play.

We talked about being INVOLVED - participating in the different activities, and choosing where we wanted to go.  All of the room 6 children got really involved today - after morning tea, we talked about the things we had done and wrote stories about today's Discovery Time.  You can read them in our writing books.

It was great fun and we can't wait until next week's Discovery Time.  Some of the activities will be the same and we're wondering what new things we can get involved in!
