Chapple

Chapple Families
We have had an exciting time in the Chapple room during the first week of school holidays. The children have helped make a few changes in our room and its looking fantastic. We have a new wooden table with chairs to do drawing, writing and  projects on and have also turned our home corner into a cake and candy store. 
The children have been busy sharing ideas and working together to create an array of lollipops, cakes, ice creams and more. The children started role playing selling lollies and cakes to each other.
After reading the book "Biscuit Bear"  the children were inspired to make their own biscuit bears out of play dough to sell in their shop. Behind our cake and candy shop are some beautiful colourful artworks to give our store  an inviting atmosphere to attract customers . We have also enjoyed our rainbow rice and play dough.
Friday we made Chocolate crackles as and extension of  the children's interest in baking. We followed the recipe and discussed why we need to use the correct measurements. They were delicious.
On Thursday we celebrated international ‘Peace and Love’ day, we thought about what peace and love means to us and how we, as children can make the world a more peaceful and loving place. We also made tye die shirts with many  colours.  Later in the day we all stood in a circle with our hands up showing the peace sign and said peace and love.

Don't forget Next Wednesday is Rock n Roll Day so dress as a rock star. We will be dancing the morning away and having an air guitar competition.
