Dear
Parents and Friends,
It
has been lovely to see all our friends again after the holidays . We have
welcomed back Isabella and a new friend Taysen to the class. We have been
working hard on our independence skills to work better as a team. Just like Bob
the Builder we know Teamwork works! We are making sure that everyone helps us
to achieve our goals - just like our Australian Animals cards. Together
we all gathered enough cards that we have managed to fill the folder. What
great team work! We love to sit and look at all the cards and talk about the
animals we have seen or touched!
We
have also been using a large variety of natural materials in our play this
week. The children still enjoy creating new environments for our animals to
live in, either our nocturnal house or our grassy landscape. Some children even
created a Dino world for our older reptiles – complete with a fun slide and
gates so they don’t escape into the classroom!
We
have been using large mirrors at the painting easels to create full size self
portraits and small mirrors to help us focus on our facial features in our
natural college portrait.
Next
week we will also have silkworms in the classroom so please send in any
mulberry leaves as they are very hungry! It will be interesting to watch them
grow and change. What will we see ?
Kind
regards Susan and Coral
