Dear Wilkins family and friends,
What a glorious week we have had this week, despite the
chilly mornings. We have made the most of the sunshine, exploring the outside
environment. We ventured out to the big yard on Monday, the children excitedly
observed the chickens scratching around the yard. Hugo was sure to warn
everyone to be careful not to get too close or the chickens might peck you! We
also explored the more challenging climbing equipment, confidently scaling
great heights, climbing over and under the obstacles and flying down the slide.
We have continued our Autumn investigations this week
using leaves we gathered in the big school at the end of last week. We have
used these leaves to paste with, trace over, thread and sort and order. We have
also enjoyed scrunching them between our fingers and throwing them up in the
air! If you have any Autumn leaves in and around your house, we would love it
if you could gather some and bring them in to share.
We would like to extend a big welcome to Edward and
Armando who have joined us in the Wilkins class the last couple of weeks and a
welcome back to Evan who has just returned from a big overseas trip.
Best wishes for a lovely weekend. We look forward to seeing
you all next week.
Ellen, Courtenay, Melissa and Jess
