Ted in my bed

Ted came to spend the weekend. 
He stayed overnight.

In the morning we had breakfast together.

We played together inside 
because it was raining outside.

Science Day

On Friday 7th November the Primary Section celebrated
Science Day.
Reception Bears tested how well they could do things with their eyes open compared to having their eyes closed.
Among several tasks we tried:
Assembling blocks

Writing own name

Building a tower of blocks 

(even Mr. Evans gave it a shot)

Jumping

We found out that some things we could do just the same,

others took longer and other tasks were very difficult to complete.

See how we can hop turning around and bouncing and catching a ball.

We also attempted to identify what was on these plates:

Our eyes did not help, but our taste did:

Salt, sugar, iced tea and honey.

Well done Rodrigo and Suhani for identifying all four.

We also investigated how much we rely on our dominant hand.

Pictures on the right are drawn with our right hand.

Pictures on the left are drawn with our left hand.

The children did a good job but said it was much harder

with non-dominant hand.

When I grow up I want to be...

We were learning how to read and spell:
me
he
she
we
be
We thought of sentences using those words.
I said, "When Grace grows up she wants to be a doctor."
Suhani quickly added, "and I want to be a princess."
I winked and said, "You already are a princess!"

Ted's non-adventure

What happened was this:
The temperature has dropped and Ted said it was time for his annual hibernation.
He had a huge pre-hibernation meal consisting of a whole salmon, a hot dog (weird!), cheddar cheese, a pineapple, an eggplant and some fresh water.

He got his teddy, Grace tucked him in and
he started a good old hibernation.
















Ted slept, and slept and slept.
