Creative Arts: Art Study
☑ Henry Rousseau, The Dream


We discussed the original in terms of media, composition, and interpretation. Waratah then used the app PlayART to create his own version.



Human Society & Environment: Investigation
☑ We continued our virtual exploration of Melbourne Museum, today investigating the dinosaur exhibit (which Waratah found disappointing as he wants to see dinosaur skeletons in real life), and the Aboriginal exhibit (which Waratah was very interested in.)

Science & Technology: Experiment
☑ Today we played with water beads, starting with the unexpanded beads, hypothesizing what would happen when we added water, and then soaking and observing them as they grew. The boys spent several hours investigating the properties of the expanded beads.



Personal Development, Health and Physical Education: Free Choice Activity
☑ Name it to tame it - we spent some time with the ABA Flash Cards & Games Emotions app, identifying and discussing the emotions portrayed in the photos.

Cultural Studies: Craft
Theme: Babies
☑ We made Guatemalan worry dolls from wooden beads, pipe cleaners, embroidery thread and fabric scraps.

PreK - Play-based learning (EYLF)

☑ Mulga said the water beads were frog food...


☑ Mulga has been having bad dreams lately, so together we made a Mummy and boy worry doll for him to put under his pillow and take his worries about going to sleep away.


Infant - Learning stories

☑ Boronia had some time in the jolly jumper and watched all that was going on.
