Cooper

Dear Cooper Room families and friends,

Our Spring Program has come to an end and we can say we have had an exciting two weeks!

On Tuesday after the long weekend we continued with Yoga to wind down our bodies and minds before sleep time. The Yoga poses we have been focusing on are Bound Angle Pose, Garland Pose, Mountain Pose, Upward Salute, Tree Pose, Downward-Facing Dog, Cat Pose and the Corpse Pose. The children have really been enjoying Yoga and their poses and balancing have been quite impressive.

Miss C explained to the children a little about Yoga and some of the conversations have been…

Does anyone remember what Yoga is?

Andrew: Music! It has music!

Lewis: Calm.

Sebastien: Whispering and resting. It’s resting our bodies.

Kingsley: Quiet and be real gentle, no pew pew!

Charlie: Closing your eyes.

Lexie: We stretch our legs.

On Wednesday we went over to the Tennis Courts and chased bubbles. We had all sorts of bubbles for the children to run around and pop. This was so much fun for the children!

On Thursday we went over to the Red Centre and continued with running races, ball games, group games and free play.

On Friday we ended the week with an adventure outside exploring the school grounds and making our way to the Rainbow Playground at the Prep School for a play.

Thank you Miss Georgia for spending the past two weeks in the Cooper Room and caring for our children. We loved meeting and touching Jerry your friendly pet snake!

Enjoy your weekend and see you all next week for Term 4.

From Miss C and Miss Georgia.
