Fun Afternoon

Room 12 had earnt themselves the opportunity to have some free time.  In this time the children were able to select the resources they wanted to use and who they teamed up with.  It was interesting to observe and listen to the children.  There was lots of language, negotiation and sharing of ideas.

Chalk Time

A small group of children took the bucket of chalk outside.  The children had been drawing and writing when they discovered the water.  The children discovered that when you wet the chalk and then draw it was darker.  The children were very engrossed in their activity and were having great conversations.  When I joined the children they all showed and told me about their discovery.
