Dear Langley Families
To support the
children's fine motor development, we have set up a fine motor area. In this space, you will find puzzles,
threading of pipe cleaners into colliders, threading of beads onto string and
finally a tub of pom-poms and feathers with tongs and bowls. With the development of these skills, a child can complete important tasks such as writing,
feeding oneself, buttoning and zippering. Little hands need to develop
dexterity and strength every day.
This week has also seen us role play
in the shipwreck area outside. We have been reading the story ‘Hugo, The Lifesaving
Sailor’ by Lorette Brockstra.
When outside in the boat we asked the children
what we needed for our ship.
Cara - Fish
Charlotte - Fish
Many children have enjoyed playing in the
boat pretending to set sail or pretending to be fishermen. Sometimes we have a passenger who jumps off
the boat and needs saving. It has been
lovely to watch all children build upon relationships with each other. Many skills are being learnt in this area
like, cooperation, negotiating, gross motor, and mathematics just to name a
few.
Our family photos are in their
decoration phase. If you still have not sent in your photo - please do. The children are going to the wall and looking
for their face or their Mummies’ and Daddies’ faces. It has been a great focus to help children
settle through the day too.
We look forward to another busy week
with Grandies Day approaching us on Tuesday the 4th April. Please be aware we do not have any extra
parking spaces on the school grounds for this event this year. Please arrive with plenty of time.
Parent
Teacher Interviews
We
will be holding parent teacher interviews on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th
April. Kathy Kupke will be available on Tuesday while Amelia Murdy will be
available on Wednesday afternoon from 4:15pm.
If you would like to make a time to have a chat, please email us on kkupke@staff.pac.edu.au or amurdy@pac.edu.au and
we will book you in.
Signing
In & Out
We have had many families each day who are not signing
their child in or out. This needs to happen for legal
reasons and in case of an emergency. We
need documentation that your child has arrived or left. Please,
please, PLEASE remember to do this every time you enter our premises. If you have a star on your child’s locker it may say to see an old form and get it signed.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Kid regards,
Ms Amelia, Miss Tayla, Miss Sharon, Ms Kathy &
Miss Georgia
