Chapple Room






Dear Chapple Families,

What a busy first week of holidays we have had! We said a final farewell to a few of our friends, who we wish all the best for their new ‘big school’ times ahead.
We have been having a ball decorating our Chapple Christmas Tree, so please come in a have a look – we love it! Our Christmas decoration making and wrapping presents has been making us feel like little elves working on Christmas Eve J
The office has at times turned into a Police station, Vet, Daddy’s Work and even a Farm Office! We love using our imaginations to see what we can create, we even got Miss Veltmeyer involved – she was our Police Chief!
Over the week – several boys with Miss Karla’s help – have been building a farm in the block corner. We collected some hay from the Prep school and have been using the farm animals and the blocks to make the stables. Come and check it out!
On Wednesday, we loved making our Christmas Gingerbread cookies – and the best part of that was definitely the eating bit – they were yummy!
Friday was a slimy kind of day – we made some green slime – it felt "really runny and a bit gross" ( one of the observations!)
We look forward to our last week before our Christmas Break – and some exciting water play – as we hear it’s going to be hot, hot, hot next week!

Dates to remember: - Friday 20th December – our ELC Dress up Day. Elves in the ELC (dress in green and/or red) Parade With mini carols singing in the town square

Have a great weekend,


Miss Veltmeyer and Miss Karla xo
