Cooper Room




Dear Cooper Families,

At the start of the week we continued with our Australian celebrations, with a particular focus on Australian food. All the children took it in turns to add the ingredients to the bowl to make Anzac biscuits. We shaped the dough into circles, squares and star shapes. When they came out of the oven the children enjoyed eating them sitting out on the grass. We had a sausage sizzle on Tuesday which was also very delicious.

We welcomed Mrs Lock and the children back to the start of the term on Thursday. It was a busy two days seeing all our friends again and exploring the classroom. This term we will be exploring two PYP units - My Family Album and Sustainable Planet. We will begin by sharing photos of our family. Please send along a family photo next week.



The children have continued to love their fire station play and raced to fight many fires. We introduced a new song called "Five Little Firemen standing in a row". The children also began to create their own self image using a collection of natural and recycled materials. It is interesting to see how different we all look !

Kind regards
Susan and Coral
