Mead

Dear Mead Families

There has been a ‘Spring Buzz’ in the Mead Room this week!  We have noticed many clues in the past few weeks to tell us that Spring was on its way and is now finally here!

Addison – its not too cold anymore
Charlie L – Blossoms
Benjamim G – and the flowers turn into fruit
Ned – flowers are growing
Louis – leaves grow back on trees
Lucas – vegetables grow
Maxime – I noticed flowers growing and all the green
Lachlan – my broccoli was growing
Wilbur – our seeds are growing

We have also been observing exciting changes in our outdoor environment, most importantly the chickens have begun to lay eggs and the minibeasts are on the move!  We discovered a colony of ‘stink bugs’ on one of our beautiful eucalypts.  Fascinating to observe and many conversations arose concerning ‘camouflage’ and predators… stay tuned!

A big Happy Birthday to Louis who has turned 4!

Just to advise, we are offering Parent/ Teacher Interviews in Week 10 – 22nd+ 23rd September.  We will leave a sheet with Mrs Mandy at the front desk if you wish to book in.

Have a great weekend,

Melissa and Jain
