Dear Families
What a busy week we have had in the Chapple room during the
second week of the School Holidays.
Our theme of ‘Spring into Spring’ was celebrated from the
start of the week when we collected flowers for still life art when we visited
the Preparatory School. At the start of the week we also made potato stampers
with an assortment of shapes to create our bright coloured ‘Potato paint’
experience. Later in the week we also had fun creating origami tulips in an
assortment of Spring time colours. To make the most of the beautiful Spring
time weather we had a morning in the ‘Secret Garden’ where we enjoyed our
morning fruit in the sunshine. Here we spent some time using our senses to
thinking about what we could hear, see and smell whilst we were out in nature. Along with visits to the Rainbow Playground and secret garden, we also visited the bottom oval for a morning of PE. Here we took part in running, hopping, skipping and jumping races as well as running relays. We also had fun taking part in a game of marks up and football.
It was very exciting to witness the blood moon lunar eclipse on Wednesday night. Many children from the class watched this with their families at home. We also watched a clip of the eclipse in class and learnt that the bright colours are created as the sun sets and reflects against the moon. We had a go at creating our own blood moons to display as part of our learning environment.
To finish the week we made chocolate crackles and enjoyed
them while we had a movie afternoon on Friday.
Some other popular activities this week included
construction with Mobilo, transparent blocks and construction with wooden
blocks. Well done on a fantastic creation by Angus T and Kai who created a
three story hotel complete with a train track running through the bottom in the
aim of making transport available for its guests. This week we would also like to wish David a very happy 5th birthday. Thanks you for sharing your Jelly Bean surprise cupcakes with the class. What a great job you did at cooking them!
Thankyou for a lovely week until next time,
Miss Kerry and Miss
Moir
