Langley

Dear Langley families and friends,

What a start to Term 2! This week we said goodbye to Miss Stacey, who is now teaching in the Prep School, and welcomed Miss Sarah from the Mead Room. We have also welcomed some new friends, Theodore and Andrew to the class, so we have all been getting to know each other this week. For our new Unit of Inquiry this term, Home Sweet Home, we will be exploring different animal environments. Children began to discuss different animals they knew and where they live, such as the jungle, farm and sea environments.

Children also became lots of different animal characters with the puppet theatre, and increased their hand-eye coordination by digging for letters in the sand try. After hearing the very heavy rain outside, children loved watching the rain from the window, and since we were stuck inside, we decided to have an impromptu glow stick disco Friday morning.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Kerry, Emily and Sarah
