Dear Chapple Families
Although much of our thoughts have been about the Nativity
last week, the class party and graduation, we have still managed to squeeze in
some other activities. We made humus with Mrs Kerr. We were reading the
Lighthouse Keeper’s Tea and it started an interesting conversation.
Dougal: In some countries when they say tea they mean dinner
or supper.
Angus: My grandpa and grandma say tea for dinner.
We read the story and became fascinated in the lighthouse
and flying fox and decided to make a model. We discussed what a
lighthouse is for.
Angus: So the boats can see the way they are going even with
the lights.
Peter: Needs lots of windows so he can see everywhere.
Kai: This is the bottom of the lighthouse.
Angus: They can see it because it is a bright colour.
Kai: And they can see it at night.
Dougal: So they can see more better even with the light.
Zeke: It’s the balcony, so he can come out and get the
fishes.
Kai: So when it’s a hot day and he has to have lunch he can
have it on the balcony.
The children had fun making the model and put a lot of
thought into the next phase of the model, where they would position the house
and flying fox. Toby made some fish and Erik made Mrs Grinding’s house.
If boys have transition visits to the Prince Alfred College
Prep School in week 8 they can come to the ELC as normal and we will transport
them up and down together if you wish.
Thanks for such a great turn out for the class party. The
children really enjoyed themselves, thanks for all your support and food.
Thanks
Chapple Room
