Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

We cannot believe that Term 1 has already come to an end, the year is flashing before our eyes!
It has been a fantastic week, continuing to build and strengthen bonds between peers and educators.

On Tuesday and Thursday we had Chinese, it is great to see the children utilizing their memory skills as they resisted the colours in Chinese as well as immediate family members.

On Wednesday, we ventured to the Workshop. The Mead children really enjoyed this opportunity to explore and participate in an array of fine and gross motor experiences.
The hairdresser salon, car road mat and coloured foam shapes were a big hit, we will look into incorporating some of these interests within our room over the next coming weeks.

Thursday, Mrs Prest and the children used their balance and movement co-ordination skills as they placed bean bags on their heads, shoulders and arms and walked around the room listening to music.

Friday was very exciting as we had P.E in the gym and watched the gardeners do some digging and move our cubby house in our outside yard. We also watched a movie in the Mead room! So much fun!!!

Next week to extend on the life cycle of the Monarchy Butterfly we will be planting our own sunflower seeds.

We hope you have a lovely weekend.


Mrs Prest, Miss Elodie and Mrs Nacca
