Week 6, Term 2
We are all well into Term 2 now and the children are hard at work learning about various ‘Ingenious Inventors.’ So far, we have had a look at the inventor of bubblegum; Walter Diemer, as well as other more well-known inventors such as Walt Disney, Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright Brothers.
A highlight was blowing bubblegum bubbles in class and then recording the data to show who blew the biggest bubble. The children also thoroughly enjoyed being able to be an animator like Walt Disney and follow instructions to draw Disney characters.
This Topic has given us such rich conversation with the children into how God has created us with talents to serve others.
