Discovery Time in Rimu

Here's a snapshot of Discovery Time this afternoon in Rimu 5 and out on the court.

Construction with straws and connectors. This tower ended up being as tall as the girls in a 4x4 formation!

A great buzz in the room with different children from Rimu interacting with each other to design and build amazing structures with straws and magnetic tiles.

Check out this house. These 6 children worked cooperatively to build this.

Wow, these look fantastic. Another group of students working collaboratively.

Wyatt and Storm, the start of some chairs and tall towers.

Can you throw a frisbee into a bin?

Some great work this week...

Some of the children have been learning about how to add 9 to any number. We first make 9 a 'tidy number', 10. We add 10 to the number and take 1 away. Next time we'll be working on adding 11 and 12.

Mrs H started some fabulous magical hand art on Wednesday. Here are two unframed but finished products by Wyatt and Marissa....

We're up in the block!

We arrived up on the block last Monday. We're here to stay. There's one more easy move to make into the fantastic room looking out over the harbour. This will happen shortly!

Plenty of space for the 25 of us...

Neat cubby holes for bags and hats.

Hello Rimu Tahi and Rua!

I made a Superman-Symmetry because Superman must have a friend. The pattern is the same on both sides.
