Traffic Light Experiment

Traffic Light Drink!

Today we had an exciting science experiment... we learned how to make a traffic light drink.

It was interesting to see that the drink can have different layers of colour.

Here are some photos of us making our drinks.  Make sure you check our blog soon to read some of our writing because it will explain how you can make one yourself!

Our First Week in the Pool!

Aquatic Safety

This week we were able to enjoy and explore the pool.  We also took some time to talk about pool rules to make sure we are all safe when we are in the water.

Next week we will begin learning about aquatic safety both on land and in the pool, such as what the differences are between floating with and without a life jacket, what a current feels like and what to do if we are caught in one to name a few.

Here is what some of the learners had to say about the pool:

"It was warmer than I thought it would be" - Euan

"I liked how there were things to help us float" - Flynn

"I liked the size because it wasn't to big" - Maddy

"I liked doing dolphin wiggles!" - George


Also special thanks to Liz (Maddy's mum) for her swimming cap expertise!

Ripper Rugby!

Today we had our first ripper rugby lesson of the year! Every Wednesday from weeks 2-5 we'll be learning something new about rugby.

Here are some photos from today's lesson.

Today we spent time building our knowledge of social skills.

We took time to share what things we like and don't like.  Then came together to reflect on how we could use this knowledge to make the Stonefields environment a better place.

What are we cooking today?

It certainly smells pretty yummy in the kitchens at Stonefields this morning! We have two break through groups cooking today. We have build our knowledge about the recipes and the ingredients we need. Today we are applying our understanding by cooking macaroni cheese and chocolate chip cookies. Yum! Yum!

Celebrating St Patrick!

HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY!

Today we learned what St Patrick's Day is and why it is celebrated.

We also made shamrocks (four leaf clovers) and leprechaun hats to honour the Irish culture.
