Chapple Room

Dear Families,

This week we have been busy enquiring biologists fascinated with living creatures. As well as continuing to study the human body, we’ve been learning about sharks.  During the holidays Seb Mac saw a shark on the beach at Coffin Bay.  This has led to the children wanting to learn more about sharks.  Miss Veltmeyer has proved to be a wealth of knowledge about sharks, but to extend our interests we borrowed some books on sharks from the library.

 ‘Sharks have cartilage’  Sebastian V

 ‘They bite, they have the turtle feelings so when a turtle comes they go gulp.  Great white sharks are only interested in seals and turtles and dolphins.’ William

 ‘They swim in the water so fast’ Abhi

 ‘They have got really sharp teeth.  I love the great white shark.  We like to read books about them and we like how they do leaps in the air.’ Jacob

 ‘I love Great White Sharks, we like reading about the Great White Shark.  They eat people, I have seen one eating a people.’ Seb Mac

 ‘Some of them have no teeth and they can’t eat you and you have to feed them baby food! I like those sharks, they are my favourite ‘cos if they try to eat you they can’t. There are even pig sharks, they have pig noses.’ Marcus

 ‘That some are sharp and some are not.  The white ones are dangerous.’ Leonardo

 We had our first visit to the Prep school to meet the reception teachers.

‘There were lots of big boys.  There were new teachers, Miss Kupke. There was lots of thing to do which I never done before.  It was lots of fun, it was so, so fun.  Do you why it was fun? Because I was building.  I build and build I made a little castle and a big fancy house. Also there was big boy stories. There were big boys hats and lockers.’ Hugo

The Tuesday children are looking forward to their visit to Mrs Burford’s class next week.
