Vin's Learning Journey

The local museum had a talk all about Space today! This was a lucky coincidence because Vinnie already chose next month's theme: SPACE! We listened very carefully to lots of information about our Solar System. Then Vinnie made his own planet: We borrowed a couple of books about space from the library. We're excited to find out lots more about it.

We've not been very well so we haven't done our run. We have done lots of other things instead! We have enjoyed lots of the cosmic kids yoga videos, and some exercise routine videos. We found out about some different sports. Vinnie picked a country from his globe to see what sports people from that place enjoyed. We picked Turkey. We made a poster about it. Vinnie wanted to make lift the flaps and pop ups for it. We have also been listening to music and talking from all around the world on the site http://radio.garden . It's interesting to hear the different types of songs.

Vinnie chose a different warm up routine for today's run. Then we went for our run. It was cold and snowing a little bit. We were a bit slower today - 5 minutes and 59 seconds. When we got back we did the actions from a book we borrowed from the library. We tried to do them slowwwwwly and quickly! Then Vinnie made up a game where we had to roll a small ball to each other. Vinnie read all the words in a book for the first time yesterday. Today he made his own version of the front cover.

We have done lots of exercise this morning. We decided to try out a "warm up exercise" before our run. We found one on youtube: We felt pretty worn out after the warm up! We did our run in 5 minutes and 24 seconds. Our fastest time yet! Vinnie wanted to dress up like the lady in the video. He made up his own exercise routine and we did it! Vinnie practiced writing some of the numbers for his routine. Then we refueled with some chocolate milk. In the afternoon we did two cosmic kids yoga videos. Frank the Frog fit in with our exercise theme very well as it had some animal Olympics!

We have carried on with our exercise this week. On Thursday we ran our route in 5 minutes and 35 seconds. On Friday we ran it in 5 minutes and 27 seconds. We're already improving! We also did some yoga: We're feeling stronger already! Vinnie has also made a nice exercise picture for the wall.

Today is the first day of our new theme - Exercise! We decided on a route near our house to run around. It is 0.4 miles long. We are going to try and run it lots of times. We will see if our muscles get stronger and help us move faster! Our time today was 6 minutes and 12 seconds.

Today is the last day of the month. This month we learned lots about 'Looking after Ourselves'. We learned about food that is good for us. We learned why it's important to keep clean and brush our teeth. For February, Vinnie has chosen a new theme. EXERCISE! We're going to try out different exercises. We're going to learn a bit about our muscles. We're going to find out about different sports from around the world.
