Moon Sand

Oral Language is a major focus in Room 1. It not only develops children's speaking skills the activities we do encourage social interaction with the entire class. Here are photos of Room 1 playing with Moon Sand. It was a great afternoon in the sun playing together. The conversations are great to listen to.

On Tuesday we were treated to yummy lollies from Sera, these came all the way from India from her Grandmother. We did some wonderful shared writing around our lollies also. Our faces show how much we loved the lollies.
Thank you Sera!
