Last week we were spinning up a work of art using a salad spinner! You can read more about that here if you missed it. The reason for all that spinning was to create an interesting look for he front of our Mystery Eggs.
As a part of our investigation into Life Cycles we read the book 'Chickens aren't the only ones'. We then used this book to locate information andcreate an anchor chart of oviparous animals(animals who lay eggs!). |  |
After creating a bank of animals who lay eggs the students then each chose 1 of those animals to draw for the inside of their mystery egg. They also had to think of three clues they could give about their animal. You can download the template for the 'Guess what's in my egg tag' here. |  |
The Kindy kids love going up to the mystery egg wall and opening up everyones eggs. Such a fun and interactive display! |  |

We love hearing from regular visitors to our website! We often get lots of similar questions so thought we would answer some of them here...#1 - How do I access your resources? / What does a membership entitle me to?This is probably our most frequently asked question! You can have unlimited access to all of our resources for a year from the date of joining for just $29.95! That means you can download whatever you want, whenever you want for a full 365 days! We also aim to blog and or add a new downloadable item every other day (although sometimes life does tend to get in the way of this!!). So once you have joined make sure you come back to visit us and check out what's new.
#2 - I want to join but don't have a Paypal account, can I still join?Yes you sure can! We are only a 2-woman show so to keep our accounts as streamline (easy) as possible we only accept payment through Paypal. However you can pay through Paypal on a credit card without signing up to Paypal, just follow these easy steps: Step 1 - Proceed to checkout and select option to pay with PayPal. Once redirected to the PayPal website select the option "continue to checkout",ignore the "Log In to PAYPAL" box. Step 2 - Complete the form with your payment information and click "Review Payment". Step 3 - If PayPal thinks you may already have an account it will give the option to Log In. Simply ignore this and click "Continue". NOTE: If you do not have a PayPal account this will not be displayed. Step 4 - Review the information such as shipping address. Once you are ready click "Pay Now". That's it! PayPal will contact us once the payment has cleared. This typically takes just a few seconds. So there you have it! Clear as mud? Hopefully this helps clear up that question.
#3 - Eeeek! A spelling mistake!Every teacher's worst nightmare, a spelling mistake! Whilst we don't claim to be perfect, we do endeavour to ensure there are no mistyped words/spelling mistakes/grammatical errors in our resources. One of the most common "errors" spotted by our members is the word practise. We are based in Australia and actually use both practise (the verb) and practice (the noun). This means that many of our documents may have the word practice/practise misspelled - please let us know if you spot this as we are beginning to go back through our documents and create a US version which includes the spelling practise. We are happy to make this change so let us know if you need this done on any of our documents.

Have you been playing our Domino Drive in addition game?! This activity has become a favourite of my students during maths rotations! This fun domino game helps students to practise their addition skills to 12.
|  |
Student play this game in pairs and each person has their own game board. Between them they have a set of dominos face down. They take turns choosing a domino, turning it over and adding the 2 sides together. For example if they turned over a domino with 5 and 3 on it, they add it together and 'park' the domino into the 'car park' that says 8. If they turn over a domino and figure out the total and already have a domino in that space, they turn it back over and wait for their next turn. This allows the players to use strategy and remember where dominoes are, and to try and find the totals they need to put into their empty 'car spots'. |
|
The first person to fill all the 'car parks' on their gameboard is the winner.
My students have started to remember facts instantly now and are qetting a lot quicker at solving addition sums. |  |
