Cooper Room






Dear Parents and Friends of the Cooper Room,

It is lovely to have all our friends back this week after the holidays. The children have enjoyed sharing their stories and are eagerly awaiting the news of our two friends still on holiday in China and Queensland. What special adventures we all had! We started the week finishing off some very special things for the Princesses Tea Party. We hope all our Mum’s are ready for a lovely morning tea on Thursday. We hope you are ready to be pampered. (Don’t forget your replies)
Footy season has definitely started with many children bringing in footballs to show us and many fantastic footy songs being sung – The Might Adelaide Crows and Collingwood!
The children have loved preparing a space in our room for a shop. They have been sorting out boxes and containers ready to place them on the shelves.
“We need to have bags so we can put all our things in,” said Gabby
“We should sell flowers in the shop,” added Oliver
“All the vegetables should stay together over here, “suggested Max
“We need a sign to say the shop is open so the children can come in and buy things,” said Harry
“We need a manager of the shop. He’s the boss of the shop and he can help everyone and tidy the shop too,” thought Max
Bring your shopping lists along and do your shopping when you visit the Cooper Room supermarket.

On Friday Oliver bought in some red eggs to celebrate Greek Easter.
“I made them with my Yia Yia. You put them in the paint water and then make them red. It makes all the eggs red. You knock the eggs together and see if one cracks.” said Oliver
We watched Oliver tap the eggs together and CRACK! We hope that is good luck! The children then carefully peeled the eggs and tasted the hard boiled eggs.
“It is not red in the egg only the outside,” said Gabby
“I will get red eggs from Yia Yia and Papau on the weekend too!” Happy Greek Easter!
Kind regards
Susan, Coral and Rosalie
