Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

Apologies to all Mead room families in the delay of producing a blog.

It has been a fun filled week, as the children continue to build and strengthen their bonds between peers and educators.
Danica, Mikayla, Paige and Yifan assisted Mr. Charlwood in feeding the chickens! They were very enthusiastic to take on the responsibility of caring for our chickens. We discussed the importance of feeding and ensuring that our chickens have clean water to drink.

Paige – “I drink water too”
Mikayla – “Me too”
Yifan – “They eat seeds”

On Tuesday, we walked up to the big school to Library. We borrowed books and talked about Australian Animals.

On Wednesday and Thursday we had Chinese, it is fantastic to see the children continuing to utilize their memory skills as they recite the colours in Chinese and sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle little star” in Chinese.

On Thursday, we ventured to the work shop area for the children to be able to engage and play in another safe and secure environment. 
The Mead children really enjoyed this opportunity to explore and participate in an array of fine and gross motor experiences.
The boat was a big hit in which Tom T, Oliwer, Cooper and Zed read stories to each other. The office and computer area was also a favourite; they used the computers and keyboards to do lots of typing and printing.

Alana – “I’m typing just like my daddy” 

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Prest, Miss Elodie and Mrs Nacca
