Cooper


Dear Parents and Friends of the Cooper Room,
 
This week we have continued to explore the delightful world of Rainbows. We have loved watching our sensory rainbow grow this week with children bringing in all sorts of wonderful things to add. Things that smell, things which are fun to touch, things which remind us of colours and even coloured packaging. The children have shared their items each day and then carefully added them to our box- who would think that a rainbow would shine out of a box! The thought and interest in rainbows has also been evident in other areas of our learning as the children recognise the distinctive colours and begin to discuss shades, light and dark tones as well. We are now searching for some beautiful white flowers (roses or daisies) which we can use in an experiment next week. We will need seven – one for each colour of the rainbow! If we keep searching we will find that pot of treasure at the end of the rainbow.
 
Kind regards
Susan, Jain and Rosalie
