Dear Mead Room families,
Book
Week August 16-‐22, 2014
THEME:
Connect To Reading
We
were definitely ‘connected’ this year!
On Tuesday the ELC came together for our annual Book Week Parade in the
Town Square. So many fantastic
characters from favourite books!
Clementine
– I’m the little rabbit in Guess how much
I love you.
Angus
– I am the Cat in the Hat
Sterling
– I am too – but I come from this book (holding The Cat in the Hat Comes Back)
Scarlett
– I am Rascal (Paul Jennings – Rascal at
the Show)
Not
to mention a Princess, Cowboy, Knight, Bob the Builder, Hedgehog and Dinosaur
just to name a few! Additionally we had
the amazing good fortune to have special visitors drop by during the course of
Thursday 21st to share stories with us. Mead Room had Mrs Foster and
JJV from the wider school community and we loved the books they brought with
them – THANKYOU!
WE LOVE SHADOWS!!
The
children are still very much immersed in the exploration of light.
We
had noticed that when sunlight streams through our window in the morning we
occasionally see the shadows of people walking past. A few of us ventured outside and surprised
the rest of our Mead Room friends by suddenly appearing at the window! As they couldn’t see exactly who we were the
children had to rely on their skills of observation to deduce whose shadow was
whose!
Lachlan
– The height was the clue! You are the tallest Mrs Prest
Scarlett
– I saw the shadow of pigtails – that was Olive
Ned
– I knew it was Loukas because of his hair
Annie
– I saw Loukas’ hair – all curly
Doane
– Oliver has short hair – I see ears shape
I’m
glad the children observed my height as a point of difference and not my
width!!
Have
a brilliant weekend.
Melissa
and Renee.
