Egg Sitting Challenge Success

As our egg sitting week drew to a close we had many successful egg parents. 
Unfortunately there were a few fatalities during the week, and valuable lessons were learned. 

Congratulations to the teams who managed to keep their egg in one piece for the entire week.

Egg-citement in Room 7

What an egg-citing start to the week. Today as part of the Keeping Ourselves Safe programme we have become chief babysitters of eggs. Yes, eggs. Fresh, not boiled, precious eggs. 

Four the next four days each pair of classmates have to care for their egg at all times. This is so that we can learn about all the hard work that goes into looking after others. Children have blankets for their eggs, and are responsible for their eggs 24/7. 

Children had to pick a partner, someone they could rely on to also look after their eggs as they have shared custody.
This is going to be an egg-citing challnege, a bit of an egg-speriment, and we hope that they all have an egg-ceptional week learning how to become egg-stremely great parents!

Unfortunately however, there have already been two fatalities with two teams eggs accidentally being dropped.  Very unfortunate events, but taught us just how careful we need to be.

Another unfortunate casualty. 

Reliability

As part of our weekly Kiwi Can programme we are learning about reliability. We talk about what it takes to be reliable, and when we might need to be.
Then we've been practicing reliability in a range of team activities.
This week we had to make rhythm with body sounds, clapping, stomping, drumming, anything that made a beat. We had to work together, participate and help one another.

Afterwards we went outside to play handball - with a twist - quickfire teams. Each player had to count on the rest of the team to be successful.
