Infant Activities

☑ June Oberlander, Fun Start (2007) 'Week 10: Large Muscle Activities"

A Happy Medium

Waratah was not happy with an overly structured curriculum approach. After four weeks he felt stifled, controlled and rebellious.

However, I am not happy with the opposite. I believe an unschooling approach would suit Waratah's learning style, but it is very unsatisfying for me. I also think Waratah prefers more routine, so long as he gets more say in what we do.

Waratah has always liked making lists of what we will do in a day, and so I am going to try this approach:
[Daily Calendar Cards]

I have created my own Daily Choice cards based on our subject areas and the activities / resources I want us to use.

Waratah chooses 5-6 cards each morning, we order them in a way which works for that day and the activities I have in mind, and take it from there! So far, so good.

Term 3 Week 6 Day 1

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education
- Sprint Run
• Students use a hoop or skipping rope to create a personal space. They run on the spot in this space. They practise swinging bent arms, lifting legs up high and pretending to run up a hill.
• Play “Simon says.” Ask students to run while focusing on specific body parts or movements. For example, ask students to run: taking small steps (a low knee lift); taking normal steps (a high knee lift), with and without an arm swing; with head moving from side to side; and with head held still and eyes focused ahead.
• increase the length of their stride when running by placing markers or lines on the ground to mark each time the foot touches the ground
• visualise hammering nails into the wall with their elbows to visualise arm action
• explore different hand positions to find which hand position is most comfortable, for example, pretending to carry a rolled-up newspaper or relay baton, fingers together and straight, fingers curled gently as if the thumbs are hooked into the pockets of their jeans or fingers stretched out wide.
• Let students explore running at different speeds. Discuss with students how you land on different parts of the foot when running at different speeds. Students should land on the ball of the foot when sprinting, and when running slowly or jogging, land on the heel and then roll onto the ball of the foot for take-off.

☑ Build dinosaur habitat diorama
☑ Question: What makes the water different colors? Discussion of micro-organisms. Experiment: is it iron bacteria or pollution?

There are a couple of things you can do to make sure what you are looking at is iron bacteria, and not a pollution incident
•Smell test - It is possible that you will smell something like decaying matter in a swamp. This is fine, it is just likely that the bacteria are dying (especially if they are being dried out by the sun). It shouldn't smell toxic like petrol, oil, chemicals or sewage.
•Surface test - It is possible that you may notice something that resembles oil on top of the water, in the same location as the rust-coloured material. If you poke a stick into the surface and it fractures like ice on a pond, and doesn't join back together, it is most likely associated with iron bacteria. If it clings to your stick and joins back together, it could be oil. (Source)

Conclusion: The red, black and rainbow sheen is caused by iron bacteria, the green is algae growing.

Time for a new plan

The structured work box method is not working out. Waratah does not feel he has enough control and as a result is very resistant to school time. This is translating into undesirable behaviour in other areas, as he feels a lack of connection. He is keen on learning and has many ideas. He needs a more flexible, free form plan that can follow his interests, rather than repetitive tasks. I am keeping the underlying structure based on the curriculum, but allowing more freedom for its implementation, planning subject areas over a week, rather than a list of specific activities to get through each day. I will use this journal to record our progress.

I also need start preparing Mulga for preschool work and plan development-appropriate baby activities for Boronia... One step at a time!

☺ This week, Waratah has asked for work on fossils. This should tie in well with the S&T and HS&E topics for this week.

☑ map plan & print - plan to be loose, flexible outline for the week, not a set "to do" list
☑ investigate Evernote & memclip as ways to prepare rabbit trails - decided Pinterest more useful; start specific boards for each child that they can choose activities from.
☑ implement new way to record daily learning activities. I tried a number of journalling apps, but decided Blogger was most useful due to cross-platform functionality, ability to format text, easily add website links and pictures, etc.
