Chapple

Dear Chapple families

This has proved to be one of our busiest weeks yet!

We have been growing seeds and came up with an experiment to work out what a seed needs to grow. We even role played being seeds. The tweezer game has proved very popular and helped with our fine motor and sharing skills.

The caterpillar disappeared! I wonder when it will reappear?

Our numeracy skills have continued to develop with a bingo game.

Harmony Day was very exciting with us performing a play about a butterfly that had no friends. It had the important message of Everyone Belongs. A theme we have been working on in the classroom. Harmony Man came along to help us with our play.

Another investigation we have been working on is Keeping Safe. We thought about what was an emergency. We practised phoning 000 on our play phone and talking to the emergency services. After this, we have a visit from a real police officer (James’ Dad) who talked to us about how he keeps us safe and the equipment he has to help him to do this. We even got to go in his police car- The whole Chapple class nearly all got inside the car at one time!

This will be the last week of paper copies of the Weekly Diary. It will now be sent by email. If you have not received a copy, please check your current email address with the Front Office.

Tuesday 4th April is Grandies Day- Invitation have been sent out. Please remember that carparking will be extremely limited so make sure the Grandies allow plenty of time to get here.
