Cooper

Hi Cooper families,
We have had a wonderful start to our final term together. I definitely think the children have all grown over the holiday period!
Monday was a very exciting day in the Cooper room as Zara B brought in a stick insect for our classroom. The children were fascinated by our new class pet and have been observing its movements all week. We found a glass atrium that was suitable for the stick insect to live and the children filled up its new home with gum leaves and sticks that we found in the outside area. Zara had originally come up with 5 names for the stick insect, which we narrowed down to two favourites, Sunshine and Cupcake. We each voted for the name that we liked the best and Cupcake was the clear winner.
We have been very busy this week making our special Mother’s Day presents in preparation for the Princesses Tea Party. They are coming along amazingly and smell lovely. We have had a lot of fun making them as a class and seeing what happens when we put them in water. I won’t give you any more clues, as we want them to be a lovely surprise when we give them to you on Monday. 
Welcome to William P, who has joined our Cooper class this term. It has been lovely to see the children being so welcoming to our new friend.
Happy Birthday to Sebastien Ha., Byron and Zali, who all turned 4 this week!
Happy Mother’s day to all of the Mothers for Sunday, we hope that you all have a wonderful and special day.
Love, Miss Gilbert and Miss C
