Dear Cooper
Room families and friends,
The first
week of the Spring Program has been an exciting start as we kicked off with outings,
exploration and fun…
We commenced
the week exploring the school grounds and making our way to Prep School Rainbow
Playground. It was a glorious day so we decided to take our morning fruit with
us to have a picnic in the school garden.
On Tuesday Miss C brought in a
blender and we made some delicious and refreshing banana and honey smoothies.
The children are asking for more so we will continue with smoothies next week.
On Wednesday it was the Cooper Room’s first visit to the Red Centre. We engaged
in running races to enhance physical play whilst other children played group
games or free play.
On Thursday we walked over to the Tennis Courts and played
some ball games. The children enjoyed to run freely whilst others found their
own spaces to play with their friends.
On Friday to provide the children with
some down time we ended the week with a session of meditation and relaxation.
To commence the session we sit with our legs crossed and take three deep
cleansing breaths to focus and still the mind. We continued with body stretches
to calm and relax the body in preparation for a short relaxation in the yoga
pose.
During the
week we had a very friendly visitor ‘Jerry’ Miss Georgia’s pet snake. Jerry is
a Murray Darling Python and he spent a few hours in our classroom. We had other
classrooms come visit Jerry and some of the Cooper Children were even brave enough
to touch Jerry. What an exciting
experience this was!
Miss C and
Miss Georgia wish you all a very safe and relaxing long weekend.
