Mead Room


 

 
Dear Mead room families and friends,


This week we have been talking about one of our Units of Inquiry – Celebrations. We have had a couple of Mead room friends celebrate birthdays over the past few weeks, so at our Morning Meetings we discussed what our birthday parties look like:

Sterling – it looks like decorations
 
Clementine – balloons and party hats
 
Lily – a birthday cake with candles

 We also discussed what food we might eat at a party:

Ned – orange cupcakes
 
Nicolas – red cupcakes

After our conversations about birthday parties, we decided to turn over home corner into Party Central, complete with all things party – plates, cups, bunting, but most importantly, cupcakes.

 Following on from our party food talks, we have also been discussing and sorting healthy foods from sometimes foods:

 Harry – watermelon

 Angus – chips

 Harrison R – I love chips!

Lachlan - cake

Hope you all have a great weekend!
Melissa and Sarah
