Langley

Hi Langley families and friends,

This week we have continued our investigations into our bodies. We discussed having bones in our bodies to help keep our shape and took a close look at Steve the skeleton. We tried to name as many bones as we could and we also drew our bones with white chalk on black paper.

On Tuesday we went for a walk up to the Prep School Library. It was our very first visit and Mr Coleman showed us some very special puppets and read us some stories. Visiting the library and reading books to children is a fantastic way to foster their early literacy development.

Finally, on Friday we introduced a saddle to the children as some have been fascinated with horses lately. We said it was a special seat for when we are riding a horse. 
Teddy - "I seen horse"
William - "I go riding horsey"
Larissa - " Its a riding one"
We later placed the saddle outside over a hay bale and children took turns riding the horse.

A friendly reminder to please bring in a recent family photo also.

Have a great weekend

Sarah, Emily, Brooke and Jen
