Helping Hands

In Skippers during Concept we are discussing how we use our hands to help our community.
We did some hand print painting last week.
Now we're collaborating in our groups to talk about how we help each other.
Some people are the writers. Some people are the speakers.

Flight to Rio

We turned Skippers into an airport today. We had a check in counter, passports, boarding passes, security, stewards and even a plane! We also had a big queue. It was so much fun role playing.

Is it Spring time? BOING!

This morning we were exploring springs. 
We talked about stretching and squeezing and bending. We looked at a simple writing pen and observed the spring inside it. 

Have you got a slinky at home? Get us to show you the three different things you do with springs.
