Angwin, Chapple & Edgerley

Dear Angwin, Chapple and Eagerly families and friends
 
The last two weeks of the holidays have been fun packed for our friends.
We have spent a lot of time going on adventures around our PAC Campus especially the rainbow playground, science courtyard, RED centre, boarding house garden and having races on the oval.
Outdoors, the children enjoyed engaging in water play, building with loose parts and even doing cooking shows in the sandpit preparing meatballs and spaghetti with special herbs. If only you could taste Gabby's and Toby's cooking!
The children were also very keen on learning how to make paper planes and spent a lot of time testing their work outdoors.
For cooking activities, we steamed some fresh sweet corn and baked banana choc muffins sparked by our discussions during our meal times.
Indoors, the children showed their knacks on building amazing structures with blocks and awesome creations with mobile, mekano and duplo. It was pleasing to see the children displaying their creativity and problem solving skills as they tackle discussions on sharing resources and taking turns. Our afternoon Cosmic Kids Yoga sessions have been a great hit too.
Last Thursday, as we gathered at the back oval to have races, the children noticed piles of barks coming off the gum trees and decided to make a camp fire. Off they went gathering barks and hunting for wild animals. Together, the children shared their ideas on how to make fire and shared stories about some of their camping trips.
We also said our goodbyes to our Angwin and Chapple friends and wished them good luck in their new BIG adventure as Reception boys and girls.
We are looking forward to the start of the Term and have the rest of our teachers back.
The four year old staff
