Dear Angwin families and friends,
The first week of the Holidays have been jam-packed for our little people.
Our interest has been around the explorations about fairies and pirates.
"Fairies are little creatures with wings" Oliver said.
"They like to be around trees and flowers" Jarrah added.
We have been busy making our own fairy gardens and homes to welcome them into our classroom.
The pirates came and joined us this week sailing their ships and digging for gold.
We made maps and located the treasures using our own clues and signs.
This gave us opportunities to share, take turns, negotiate and make decisions as a group.
It was even more fun when we got to dress up as fairies and pirates ourselves.
We watched the movie "Epic" and discussed the importance about looking after nature and keeping the balance.
We did lots of Aboriginal dot painting on paper, tree barks and leaves.
We also enjoyed our play time in the Red Centre exploring various sports and games with the help of Mr. Cleveland as well as making our own ramps and car runs for our collection of matchbox cars.
Next week we will be painting our fairy doors and get our recycled milk bottle planters ready for some spring and summer gardening.
We will continue our explorations on pirates and fairies as we finish off our gardens and extending it outdoors.
Mrs Rocca
