Friendship Fish
9/21/2018
Now that we have settled into our new classroom and have learnt the routines, we have been thinking of ways to help us all get along, understand how to look after our things and work together as a team. We have tried hard to show good manners to each other and be polite. This was our focus story this week. We discussed what it means to share. Not that we have to give things up straight away, nor that we should snatch them away, but make sure we use things fairly and offer them to others when we have finished. We created a class book to celebrate our morning question of how we like to be a good friend. This now sits pride of place in our bookshelf for everyone to enjoy and as a reminder of our important learning this week. We also practiced our good manners and greetings by asking one another for special beads to create our friendship bracelets. The Rainbow Fish was so proud of the way we had been sharing and working together that he left us our own shimmering scales to use on our salt dough fish ornaments.
After carefully working together to decode and read the recipe, we used our measuring, mixing, pouring and shaping skills to create these wonderful Rainbow Fish shapes. Our little fingers were exercising well, pinching up all the decorations..
