Puppets and Parfaits

We, the Explorers and Discoverers, shared our learning about mechanisms. We created puppets using a simple mechanism.  We performed a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, "Doll On A Music Box/Truly Scrumptious".

The puppet making process was very challenging. A lot of us had to start from scratch more than once as our puppets weren't big enough. 

Thank you for coming to see our learning journey. 

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.
