In the Classrooms

Langley
This week in Langley we have explored every inch of our imaginations with the dress ups. Tu tu’s were in high demand and were enjoyed so much they were hardly ever off! The children particularly enjoyed dancing and singing in their outfits and swapping as frequently as possible. We look forward to encouraging this experience more next week. A big thank you to all the families who bought in coat hangers.
Warm regards.
Penny, Adele, Chloe & Sarah

Mead
Dear Mead Room Parents,
We have had fun exploring silver this week and doing a variety of Christmas craft activities. The children have made Christmas decorations, printed their own wrapping paper and listened to and sung many Christmas stories and songs. It has been a wonderful term and we are very sad to be drawing to a close. Can we take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a safe, healthy and peaceful new year.
Best wishes,
Emma, Amanda and Susan

Cooper
Mums and Dads will find a special surprise in their children's bags this week! The children have been very busy putting together their Christmas presents for you. They have made hand print wrapping paper and foot print Christmas tree cards in very Christmassy greens and reds. With a little help the cards have been written and the presents wrapped. Don't forget to put them under the tree ready for Christmas day!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our families!
Kind regards,
Ali and Rosalie

Edgerley
This week in Edgerley we welcomed baby Henry James, a brother for Samuel, congratulated Henry N on his special family event, observed Christian's live huntsman spider for show and tell and wrapped our Christmas presents. We also farewelled Marcos as he moves up to the Prep school, said goodbye to Miss Christina and wished Mrs Cooper all the best as she leaves us to have a baby. Phew! What a week!
Time for a rest!
