Cooper Room





Dear Parents and Friends of the Cooper Room,

It has been a fun week in the Cooper room learning a new song about "Green Jelly Beans," taking off to the moon, fighting fires and inviting our Mums in for Show and Tell. We even managed to finish our Chinese Dragon - ready for a noisy and vibrant Dragon Dance. Wearing our red clothes for good luck and making as much noise as we could we toured the ELC sending away any bad luck from last year. The children loved dancing and singing with Lau shi. Tomorrow we will head up to the Prep school to share our wonderful dragon with the Reception classes.

“The lion came while we were eating. It was so noisy,” said Henry
“Red! It means stop at the traffic lights.” said Harrison






“My lion didn’t look like that, my lion had a little mouth and it tickled me!” laughed Henry
“I can see money. The red envelopes mean giving money,” said Liam

“I go to the restaurant and Mummy give me money to put it in dem (them) envelopes.” added Henry.
“They buy toys with the money. They get money in the red envelopes.” said Jarrah listening to the story carefully.
 “I saw the lion, dragon dance. It’s tail is so, so long.” said Pauline

Good luck for 2013 from the Cooper Room!
Coral and Susan
