"These are statues. The rocks are the hats. They have to balance on their head."
"A tunnel for cars. This is a sliding door. This is locked and this is open."
We also did some construction with floam. This is a new material that was introduced in our room.. The kids had fun exploring this materials and building objects.
"Floam feels sticky and gooey."
"The lines (in the floam) make it sticky."
"I made my family. brother, dad, baby, mom and sister." "You make a head and a baby body. My mom built me. She made my head, arms and legs."
We then did a deconstruction investigation. Yesterday Birch friends went out onto the playscape and collected items to take apart or deconstruct. Today we decided to deconstruct the tomatoes. Before we did the deconstruction we made some predictions of what would be in the tomatoes.
"seeds because they need to grow"
"theres red juice"
"spider or strawberry"
As the students began to deconstruct the tomatoes they said:
"The juice is coming out."
"It knew there was juice in there!"
The students began to move the seeds around. Some friends started counting them. "Its smelly and cold.
Then friends began to taste the tomatoes.
"Its yummy"
Once the deconstruction was over, we discussed the parts of the tomatoes.
"It has skin like us! It holds the juice in."
