Welcome to Discovery in Room 3!
Today, Miss Munford read us a story called, "Use Nice Words." It taught us about using nice words instead of using bad or mean words.
We then did a toothpaste activity. One student from each class had to squirt out all of the toothpaste. The toothpaste represented the bad words or mean words we can sometimes say. They then had to try put all of the toothpaste back into the tube.
This was very hard!
Miss Munford told us that once the toothpaste comes out of the tube, you cannot get it all back in. This is much like a put-down or rude comment. Once a put-down comes out of my mouth and goes into your ears, I cannot take it back.
The message was, "Your thoughts are private, but behaviour is public." Also, the next time you think about giving a put down, think again and screw your lid to your toothpaste tube on tight!
Have a look at some photos of us all in Room 3, doing the toothpaste activity and, marble-run making...

This discovery time looks like so much fun and very exciting!! I am sad I missed it, especially the toothpaste experiment! I have asked my friendly plumber for some more tubes and pipes, so hopefully we will have them for next discovery time :) I can't wait to come and see what we can do. What worked well?
