Cooper

Dear Cooper families,

This week we were lucky enough to have a group of international students from the Senior School come to the ELC to perform the ‘Lion Dance’ as part of our Chinese New Year celebrations. We gathered in the Town Square to watch the performance and played our instruments as the Lions jumped and danced along to the music.
Henry – We saw a dragon. They walked.
Zara – There was a lion and a dragon. They were walking.
Angus – And jumping!
Sebastian Ho. – He was saying hello. Why did they come to the ELC?
Zali – Because they were doing a special dance, because it’s Happy New Year.
Harry – I am going to a special restaurant and the dragon is going to come.
Nicholas Y – It was about dancing – the lion.
Struan – The Lion was dancing.
Byron – There were 2.
Struan – A red one and a yellow one.
Byron – We were playing music.
Joshua – I liked the red one.
Thank you Ryan for bringing in red envelopes and lollies to give to our class in celebration of Chinese New Year. They are a symbol of good luck and fortune! 

On Thursday we had another special visit from Rusty and Al who brought in their Monster Truck to show the ELC. The class was so excited leading up the visit that we decided to make our own Monster Trucks in the classroom using our magnetic connector blocks. The children made some fantastic creations, which we built on after we had seen the Monster truck in person.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.
Love,
Maddie and Cris
