Charlotte's Web Dioramas

 In Room 5 we have been reading a share book together called Charlotte's Web.  This is a story about friendship, kinds and over coming hurdles.  The main characters Wilber the pig, Charlotte the spider, Tempelton the rat and Fern the girl who raised Wilber and her brother Avery.


The children were set a task to recreate the barn scene in a diorama form.  It was really cool to see how the children included so many details from the book.  For example the pig pen, the stool that Fern sat on and the swing the kids played on.  This was fun hands on activity that everyone enjoyed doing and when even presented our finish work in assembly.

Swimming

 It has such a wonderful start to 2021 and we have enjoyed getting to know each other.  A lot of the children said it was great to be able to swim again each day.







Eating Our Corn!

 As you will see from one of our previous posts we had planted some popcorn back in November.  We were lucky enough to harvest it and have a taste of what we grew.  We cooked the corn in the microwave and added some butter and salt to taste.  Some quote were: 'It is so sweet and delicious', 'I can't believe this started out as a small seed'.
