Dear Parents and Friends,
This week we have been continuing our
investigations into writing and letters. We have been exploring some simple
data collection of our favourite things. As a class we are considering what it
means to be a good friend… there have been a few games, especially outside
where some children are feeling left out.
Our investigations have led us to
observe some You Tube clips of underwater divers.. and then to make some
diver’s outfits… and even to build an airport for Sidney and Denver’s
incredible plane! Our friend Teddy is off on a plane to Austria and Oliver’s
dad is en route to Vancouver in Canada, and Harry H’s dad is on his way to
Sydney so we have created our own class airport and have so much to share and
discuss!
This week for show and tell, Harrison
brought his baby brother George in for us to meet… The children loved having
cuddles with Baby George and here are some of their comments…
Harrison: His name is
George Arthur Geoffrey Silvy
Denver: How old is
he?
Harrison: Six weeks
Teddy: That wasn’t
big was it
Denver: I used to
have a dummy, I had two no three
Harrison: It keeps
them safe and not cry
Oliver: I like the
blue dummy
Antonio: I have a
dummy at my home
Jack: I know a
thing about babies, you put their dummies in to stop them crying
Teddy: I know what
babies do they poo
Harrison: I walk away
and you (Lucy) change his nappy
Isaac: Do you know
once on the way home from Victoria Park I sucked a dummy in my mouth. On the
way home from Newland Park I went in the pram coz I was tired.
Harrison: I had a red
pram. I hold him and rock him.
We
wish Coral all the best for her final teaching prac, starting next week. We
will all miss you enormously! Our Chinese teacher Wen- Ting will be joining the
class as a co-educator during this time.
Wishing
you a wonderful weekend.. Keep warm!
Kind
Regards,
Pip
and Coral
