"It's humungous!!"

Caleb here is the photo of the exceptionally tall construction you made out of the mobilo. You worked busily away connecting each of the pieces until you had built it as high as you could without some support above it. Nicky noticed you beginning to struggle with it's height and had the brilliant idea of clipping it to a hook hanging from the ceiling rafters. Once this was done you were able to continue building with the support coming from above. I watched you add some more pieces to the bottom including some wheels. This then enabled you to drive the humungous creation forward and back whilst still keeping it's height. We discussed how tall it really was and discovered it was even taller than Bronwyn when she stood next to it. I suggested we measure it with the measuring tape and we were both surprised to find that it was over 2.3 meteres which is pretty tall! Your construction attracted a lot of attention from a number of children in the kindergarten and I was so delighted to hear you offering your support and expertise to others that were keen to copy your work. What a fabulous imagination you have and an incredibly kind friend you are.

"I think weʻll go about 100"

Over the past eighteen months we have seen Archie and Mariekeʻs friendship go from strength to strength.  It is just such a comfortable, equal relationship based on mutual respect and interests.  In the last week I noticed that you have been doing the same circuit in the trolley every day.  The trolley was carefully positioned at the top of the hill while you both hopped in.  Then it was jiggle, jiggle, jiggle and the momentum propelled you down the hill.  Marieke, what trust you have in Archieʻs ability to steer the trolley safely down the hill.  As the trolley gathered speed Marieke predicted, "I think weʻll go about 100."

Developing theories

Ryan, I noticed that you discovered one of the magnets this week. You found the magnet on the carpentry table, then proceeded to experiment with the magnetism as you tested it with the hammers, the wood and the nails. I wonder what else you might find that is attracted to the magnet?
