Langley
The Langley children have been keenly interested in patterns recently, particularly spots and stripes. The children have been spotting them all over the place, on their school jumpers, in the playground and especially in books. They love looking out for leopards and tigers and cheetahs and giraffes. Inspired by the children’s interest, we decided to create some patterned pieces of art work at the easel. The children have created some spotty and stripy masterpieces!
“I did stripes” said Hugo proudly as he looked to the tiger print for inspiration for his painting,
“A leopard” commented Izabella as she spotted paint all over her paper,
“Stripe, stripe, stripe, spot, spot” said Stella as she painted.
Please note that this is the final week of Term 2 for 2011 but it is business as usual in the Langley room and we look forward to seeing many of you during the holiday period.
Kind regards,
Jess, Kerry, Jennifer and Hayley

Dear Mead Parents,
All year the children have been fascinated with mixing colours, painting and creating new patterns. This week they have experimented with mixing colours in milk. Using eye droppers they slowly added colours before touching the milk with a cotton bud dipped in dishwashing liquid. The reaction was AMAZING…
It made all the colours change. Then it just went green. Ella
It movers. The colours all go around and around. Jack O B
It put in green then blue. When you put the drop of cleaner in it moves all around. Jack J
Look it turned out a cup of tea. It looks like a cup of tea. Erin
It got some more colours. Henry
It’s changing by the colours. Hannah
It’s getting bigger. Charlie
It looks like a rainbow. It’s moving. It’s moving everywhere. Ryan
It goes big, the colours make it change. Molly
The colours go off. They go off to the edge of the plate. Dillon
Look it’s changing purple. The colours are moving fast. Oliver
It’s getting it all away. The colours are moving. Oh, now there’s a bubble. There’s no milk now – it’s all gone. It changed into ice cream – coloured ice cream. Now it’s back to milk when you mix it. Tommi
I can make the milk into a rainbow sprinkle ice cream. Then I mix it back to milk. I can make the colours change. Sebastian
It’s turning into blue. It’s changing, if I put more in there look what happens. It’s turning into different ones. Seth
Oh, wow I’m making pink. Look I’m mixing up the colours. I’m making lots of different colours. They just keep moving. Zach
Best wishes,
Emma M, Susan and Emma G
Cooper
Well, what a huge final week we've had in Cooper! We have sent all the children's art work home, played with all our favourite things, had a very successful moving up morning visit to Edgerley and, of course, enjoyed our brilliant class party. The children are really excited about the next step in their ELC journey and we wish them all well as they move onto big four year old kindy (and Miss Sandow as she goes with them). A big thank you to all our parents for their help, generosity and kind words over the year, and particularly this week.
Kind regards,
Ali and Susan
