Cooper

Dear Cooper families,

Well done to all the Cooper children on their lovely singing at our Nativity performance, everyone did a fantastic job. We were all extremely excited leading up to the day and couldn’t wait to show our families they songs we had been practicing all term.

This week in our classroom we have been experimenting with ink paintings. The children used teat pipettes to suck up the ink from the pots and squirt out onto the paper. We started this learning experience on the tables but we noticed that too much ink stayed on our paper so we moved to the painting easels. Moving to the easels made the ink “run down” and created amazing marks and patterns on the paper.  The children also discovered that they could mix the ink together on the paper to create new colours.

Next week is the last week of the school term. During the holidays Miss C will be in the classroom working with another educator in the Cooper room.

To wrap up the school term and celebrate Christmas we will be having a small class party on Thursday the 3rd of December at 2:30pm in the Cooper room. A light afternoon tea will be provided. All children and parents are welcome to join us, however, if it is not your child’s usual day you will need to stay with your child for the party.
We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
Love Miss Gilbert and Miss C
