Music Appreciation Wednesdays

Every Wednesday morning, to get us through the mid week slump, we have a 10 minute "Music Appreciation" first thing. Mostly it is something up beat that the children can dance to, but this week it was a little more spooky!

The Hibernation Station turned into a creepy spider's cocoon.

The Witch's Costume Shop was a must go to for the best costumes in town! As well as any potion ingredients you may require.

We have been learning about bright and dark colours. What better way to experience colour than learning about fireworks!
We've been working on some Halloween words!

No Halloween costume would be complete without your very own magic wand!

We learnt a fun song for the Halloween parade today. It's called 'The Witch Rides'. We've been practicing it all week.

Well done to all the boys and girls today. They looked absolutely amazing. We've been dressing up all week in school and today was just sooo much fun. And thank you to the moms and dads too for getting them ready this morning. It was a really special day and the parade in the hall was great fun.

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! Hope you have a great break and stay safe boys and girls.

This week everything has turned super spooky in Rm 5! As Halloween draws nearer we have been practicing our magic potions and of course dropping into the witch's costume shop to make a few purchases!

Below is a snap shot of some of our morning work stations.

This week we made Fireworks Play-doh! It was sooo much fun and super easy to make! Maybe you could try making it at home, it's cheap and easy and lasts for ages!

Here's how we made it...
Add the flour
Picture
Add salt.
Picture

Picture
Picture
Picture
Add Cream of Tartar
Picture
Picture

Add vegetable oil.

Picture
Picture
Picture
And the magic ingredients... Colour and sparkle!!!
Picture
Add about 1.5 cups of boiling water and mix...
It will start really sticky but as you knead it with your hands, it will cool and come together in a nice soft ball!

Well done to all the girls and boys. They were so well behaved during this messy task! I hope you enjoy going it a try at home. Remember to keep it in the fridge when not using it.

To finish off this weeks blog I want to introduce you to this lovely book we've been reading, 'Silly Billy'. While most of the time our little ones are super happy they do at times have their little worries that to them can seem very big. So did Billy until his clever grandma gave him some little worry dolls who he could share his troubles with before bedtime and then place them under his pillow while he slept. Billy was sleeping like a log in no time!! After experimenting with some sample dolls myself, I now have a very long order list... it seems like they all have worries now!! lol 


Happy Weekend,

​Ms. Murray
