Langley Room




Dear Langley Family and Friends,
Welcome to all our new children who have started in the Langley room this week. We have started our investigations into our new unit of inquiry, Home Sweet Home, with much enthusiasm. We have been examining jungles and oceans and talking about the different types of animals that live these environments.
“I got a fish” commented Dougal
“A star fish” added James
“A crab, a crab. I got a hermit crab at my house. They walk on the floor” said Joshua
“A turtle go in da water” said Charlie A
“A frog lives in the water” added Dougal
“What sort of water do you think frogs live in? Do they live in the ocean?” questioned the teacher,
“A river” concluded Dougal
“Yes, I think the frog might live in a pond” said Tom
“And a scary fish!” said Jada
“Sharks!” agreed Tom.

To help with our investigations into different types of homes, we would love it if all children could bring in a photo of their own homes in addition to a family photo if you have not already done so.

Best wishes,
Jess, Kerry, Amelia and Nicole
