Dear Langley families,
This week we watched an Aboriginal dreamtime story on YouTube. The
story was about “Tiddalick the Frog” who drank all the water in the river. The
animals tried to make Tiddalick laugh so the water would come out of his
stomach. We all loved watching this dreamtime story and hope to investigate
Aboriginal culture further with traditional dot paintings on natural materials.
Also this week we helped Miss Emily dye some sand red for our
Australian outback area. The children helped sift the clean sand into a tub then
poured red water into it. We mixed it together and let the sand dry. Marcel, Chloe,
Daniel and Samuel took a particular interest in cleaning the sandpit after this
experience, and loved watching the clean sand fall form the sieve.
On Tuesday, we found some snails in our garden. Miss Renee and the
children thought it would be nice to make a habitat for the snails in our
classroom so we can observe them throughout the day.
Here is what the children
thought would make the snail’s habitat feel lovely and homey…
Marcel – “Grass”
Roy – “Grass, rock”
Larissa – “Rice”
Paxton – “Flower”
Marcel – “Snail sand”
Some reminders for next week:

Have a great weekend
Brooke, Renee, Emily and Sarah
