Junior Exploration Time
Junior Exploration Time is when the Junior School get together to explore, talk, discover, experiment and have fun!! This term our focus has been Colours. We have been doing lots of amazing things -from eating chocolate fondue to playing with green gulp! Here is what the children say about exploration time: Gloopity gloppity fun because your fingers get wedged in it! Crunchy yummy apples! The apples were so juicy- I loved eating them. When I was skipping I did little jumps in between the rope coming round. I was a white princess in a white dress. Slippery, slimy, sloppy pink gloop. When it dripped off my hands it looked like silkworms. I liked doing the gloop because your fingers get wedged in it.
