Making lichen soup.
Collecting. We scraped lichen off a tree.

We blended it with yogurt.

We painted it onto the bricks and pots and put them back into the garden. This will make an interesting environment for the little creatures in our garden.

The Little Creatures Garden all set up with a rotten wood pile, a leaf litter nook, a snail haven and plantings for food.

We are kaitiaki of a Little Creatures Garden.

We had a lot of work to do. We cleared out the leaves and added new soil.

Lots of team work needed.

Beautiful soil. It was full of worms and centipedes.

Looking ready to plant.

Watch this space for further developments.

Music with Mr Moore.
We have music every Thursday. Room 23 are learning many different songs. They are learning to keep the beat and use singing voices and speaking voices at different times.

The Winter Walk. A fairy house, lemons and bare branches.

Hazel and Isla made a fairy house at lunchtime. It isn't finished yet.

We went for a Winter Walk. It was cold. It was rainy. The branches were bare and the lemons were ripe.

We wrote stories. They are on our classroom wall and in our publishing books.

Come and see them.

Maths in Room 23

Counting and number is an important part of our maths programme. Children do number work around the date each day. We call this Calendar Maths. They also count, sequence number, match one to one, discuss before and after and play a variety of games which help them think intuitively about number.
