Discovery Time

This week at Discovery Time our focus was to 'think about the choices we make before we make them'
Our activities were: Marble Races, Construction with boxes, Having a Tea Party, "A what can you do with this stuff " table, and Balloon Rockets.
At the "What can you do with this stuff " table, we were pretending to be inventors...to see what we could create. This was a lot of fun...next week we want to call this our "Inventors Table"
At the construction table today there was some very big creations made!
Unfortunately the weather was a bit wet and cold so our tea party had to be held under cover but it was still awesome.
As for the Balloon Rockets... well these were a huge hit with the boys, a lot of working together needed. There is a separate video clip of Balloon Rocket Fun......Enjoy.

A very cute visitor

Evangeline from Room 4 came in this morning to show us her new little puppy, 'Sprocket'. He was very cute. He had a toy Kiwi and he liked to chew on our shoes.
Thanks Evangeline for bringing him in to Room 3.
