Dear
Mead families and friends,
This
week we are very lucky to have Miss Boler with us in the Mead room. Miss Boler
will be the co-educator working alongside Mrs Prest this year and has started
during the holidays to have a strong understanding of the room routine and
learning environments.
We
started the week with a big splash to cool us down from the heat. We jumped in the water fountain, filling up
buckets and cups of water and pouring them on ourselves. We ran back and forth
under the sprinkler that was on the outside grass! This was so much fun and we
had to be careful not to slip on the wet grass.

We
ventured up to the big school hoping to go to the Rainbow playground however
there was a big digger truck putting new bark on the ground (we watched from a
far with amazement) so instead we went to the ‘spider playground’. The
highlight was the spider web climbing frame and running roller. We then all
participated in running races on the big oval.
On
Thursday morning we discussed the possible thunderstorms that were going to
approach late afternoon. We decided to use an array of musical instruments to
create our own thunderstorm. We started with using quiet rain noises with
shakers and as the storm became louder we introduced tapping sticks, drums,
tambourine, triangles and symbols. This was a great group experience engaging
in music and sounds together.
As we
have been in our outside environments we have observed the growth of our Sunflowers
in our garden patch. We cut 2 sunflowers (with approval of course) to have in
our room in order for us to re-create our version of sunflowers through
painting. This is to further their imagination and creative skills.

We
hope you have a lovely weekend!
