Chapple Room



Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,

We are continuing to have a great term and are now feeling very settled and at home in the Chapple Room. Each day, as part of our relaxation program, we participate in a short Yoga session. It's been great learning all the new stretches and positions. We are all developing and progressing well. Some of the poses we have learned include the butterfly (which Raph is doing in the photo), the washing machine, the swinging tree, shining star triangle and dancing hands. After the warm up, we act out the story Blast Off,  where we travel to space in our rockets and walk on the moon. It's a fun way to exercise and rest our bodies. Next week, we will also include the story of Out in the Garden, which will introduce us to new and fun poses.
Namaste!
Chapple Room Team
