Ideas for book character dress up day :
Awesome link that I have shown the children, it gives over 100 ideas for dress up day!
Wonder if Batman will show up?
Remember: School photos - Tuesday!
Character dress up day - Wednesday!
Our inquiry topic - LITTER FREE LUNCH BOXES.
The children have been doing some creative thinking on how to reuse & revamp WASTE!
I told the children I had eaten a salad in this container & I went to THROW IT OUT - then I thought "hold on Miss Burt - aha!!"....so the children worked in pairs to come up with 4 different ways that this container could be reused.
Some awesome ideas from: A monster to a bath for a doll's house to a planter container to frisbee to a cartoon character's face (Mickey Mouse). . ......
Ka pai thinking Room 7!
This week we will be looking at: what a litter free lunch box looks like.
We will discuss how this can help OUR environment.
We are going to have a competition to see who can write the longest list of waste words.
The children are going to draw a lunchbox and draw & write a selection of food to go into their lunch box.
Ideas on how to reduce waste, such as:
Eg: use small containers (reusable), unwrap muesli bars etc at home, before you pack the lunch box, using reusable bags.
We will also be looking at the 3 R's - REDUCE, RECYCLE & REUSE..
The children will think of waste and what R they can do with that waste.
NATURE KNOWS NO WASTE!
This photo (above) shows ONE morning tea amount of waste! So we are learning to REDUCE our amount of lunch box waste. We will do this again one day this week or next week - and see what the reduction of waste is like (??).
SHARP STUDENT FOR WEEK 2 was: Shkhan for showing S for safe re: sunsmart, using sunblock and wearing a hat.
This week's SHARP focus is showing RESPECT for equipment eg: new PE gear, laptops, iPads etc..
Litter free lunch box kids - well done to Sam & Lachie!
