Dear
Chapple and Edgerley Families and Friends,
We
have had a fantastic and busy week on the last leg of the holidays!
Pirate day was a huge success with Miss Veltmeyer bringing in her talking
parrot! We loved making treasure maps and walking around the school campus
looking for special treasures like shiny objects, special sticks and pine cones,
even unusual rocks and pebbles! The best part was collecting them and putting
them in our own Pirate Treasure Chest! We also got all snug and comfy
in our favourite pyjamas while munching on tiny teddies from Ms. C and watch
Monsters Inc., just what one would like to do on a rainy and gloomy Wednesday!
We
had a special visit from the firemen (and lady!) to talk to us about how to be
safe when there is a fire around. We were lucky enough to hear the fire engine
sound the siren and Fireman Craig show us what firemen wear before fighting
fires. We learnt that it is important to know our name and address and also
what number to c all if there is an
emergency. Lucky we all know that one, and a few of us remembered it’s the same
for the Police and Ambulance ! Sensory Play has been a favourite as
we manipulate resources that allow us to explore textures and develop our fine
motor skills. Our sensory bin, making and construction table and gel colour
mixing have been huge hits.
Dress up day was so much fun and a huge
success as we had pirates, dragons, lions, koalas, spotty dogs, witches,
zebras, race car drivers, policemen, firemen and a transformer ! Mrs. Rocca got to be the witch and read Room
on a Broom by Julia Donaldson using her witch's voice. Lucky we didn't end up as
"kids and chips" for her tea!
We
also said our goodbye to some Edgerley children going to 'big school' as well
as Miss. C. We made sure she has lots of hugs and kisses. We wish her the best
of luck on her next adventure. We will sure miss you Miss C.
Monday
Reminders!
We
would like you to bring wet weather gear for your children e.g. gumboots,
umbrellas and raincoats so we can also enjoy the outddor play area despite the
weather. Please ensure these items are labelled. Thank You.
Coney
and Pamela
