This week we started our final Unit of Inquiry for this year - with a focus on being balanced, healthy living, and being safe. Thank you so much to all the parents that sent in healthy fruit this week to share among our class. The children tried kiwis, apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit, melon, watermelon, grapes, pineapple, and lemon. We did a lot of work around healthy and unhealthy things, and we looked at various lunchboxes to decide who had really healthy lunches. We also began each day with a 5 minute yoga exercise. We will continue looking at healthy and unhealthy foods next week, and move our focus to personal care and hygiene.

On Thursday we had a fantastic day where we celebrated 'Earth Day'. The children dressed in blue and green, while the teachers dressed up as the characters from the Lorax movie. We went to the theatre to watch the Lorax, and also walked around the school collecting litter. The children also created fantastic projects at home using recycled materials. We are going to try to continue our work to keep the Earth clean.
We had a great first week back after Spring Break, doing lots of hands-on activities - like melting chocolate to make rice krispie buns, building boats using recycled materials, and also sorting objects by colour and type. Have a look at our pictures to see what we got up to this week :)
