What is tinikling?

As Rooms 11 and 13 were introducing their assembly tinikling item on Friday, Darcy asked

"What is tinikling?" 

 That was great question to ask Darcy. 

We were told it was a Philippine dance. The dance involves people beating bamboo poles together and on the ground, as dancers step over and in between the poles as they dance.

Room 14 loved watching the talented dancers and pole tappers as they kept the beat, quickly moving in and out of the poles.

We enjoyed watching Ms Corbet, Miss Laxa and Mrs Leung giving it a go.  It looked tricky but lots of fun.

Thank you Rooms 11 and 13 for sharing your learning and talents with us.

Maths learning in the sandpit

We have been learning to fill containers and count how many scoops or spoonfuls different containers hold.  Then we have been ordering the containers, identifying which hold the least and those which hold more.

On Friday we filled our containers with sand. Last week with enjoyed filling our containers with water.
