Angwin

Dear Angwin families,

What a busy week we have had this week! Not only did we manage to pose perfectly for our photos (we’re not kidding, we did look gorgeous!) we also visited our buddies to share things with them about our home cultures. They recorded us counting in Spanish as well as some of the information we shared on video and will share it as part of their assembly next week. We counted over 11 different cultural backgrounds in our class alone, what rich and complex bunch we are! Don’t be surprised if you hear Mrs Rocca singing the Philippine national anthem this week J 

We also joined our buddies in the K21 challenge, helping them run around the oval (they have to do it twice a day for 21 days, we are only going to help them on Wednesdays!).

We have really enjoyed exploring numbers in different ways in the classroom in the last two weeks.  We have begun to explore print making, developed a play script for our Nativity, made all sorts of creations at the carpentry table and begun to role play the story of Goldilocks and the three bears! 

Phew! No wonder we built a wall around our mat with our buddies, we needed to keep the interruptions out! 

In the lead up to Christmas we are keen to look at the end of year celebrations from different cultures. You will find a form in your child’s pigeon hole to fill out if you would like to share any special celebrations that you have coming up soon.

Please don’t forget to complete and return your nativity RSVP slips so that we can begin to assign children’s roles.

Looking forward to next week J


Love from the Mel, Alex, Coney and Faye
