Buttons and Bottle Tops and Spangles

Dear Parents,
Langley children have been investigating buttons and are on the look out for more. If you have a collection of old buttons that you don’t need any more (or new ones like the single buttons that are attached to new tops when you buy them) the Langley children would be most appreciative of any button donations. Please leave them with Mrs Porter.

All students have been excited by the arrival of our weathered old carpentry table and have been enjoying working with hammers this week. We are looking for bottle tops to add to our creations. All bottle tops are welcome, metal or plastic.

In the coming weeks all children will be working on some reflective art installations for the upcoming artsPACes exhibition in the prep school. We will be asking children to collect reflective silver junk materials to bring to Kindy to add to the collage. Whilst the children do not yet know of this project we thought it might be wise to give parents some prior warning. Anything reflective would be great (our projects will be lit up at night). Old shiny wine cask bladders, bits of reflectors from old bikes, old bits of mirror, shiny paper and material, shiny lolly papers etc… would all be great.
