Room 6 2019

We had a lovely afternoon today. We could choose which art activity we did and in which class. We were making an art gift to take to the West Harbour Gardens residents when we go there to sing. The choices were all so interesting that it was hard to choose. The children who went to Room 5 made decorations by up-cycling milk bottle lids, they looked very cool. In Room 7 they chose to make Lei. Room 8 used clay and cookie cutters to make their gift and in Room 6 we made 2 different types of Christmas trees. We chose our pipe cleaner colours, chose 5 pieces of paper, measured, glued and then, of course, added some 'bling' to make them look sparkly and beautiful.  Of course, I got so busy I forgot to take photos of our second style of tree...oh well, we might get to make one that we can keep for ourselves at some other time. This exercise was making something that we are going to give away to make someone else feel happy. We think our trees look very beautiful and we hop

We were lucky to have Karenza come to visit us with her pet rabbit Scarlet. She gave us a very interesting talk. We learnt lots of things about how to look after a rabbit as a pet, what they eat. What they need for shelter, exercise and why they might need to go to the vet. We also learnt to never feed them human food! The people who wanted to got the chance to give her a little stroke and a cuddle. Did you know that rabbits do binkies and zoomies? Thanks Karenza, for coming and sharing your knowledge with us. You are a very confident speaker.  I think lots of us would like to get pet rabbits now. I'm sure we could write a good persuasive argument to Father Christmas for one. So much easier than a hippopotamus for Christmas!
