Mead

Dear Mead Room families and friends,

Another jam-packed week of discovery!

This week we have been consolidating our understandings of Shape, Seasons, Sustainability and the Environment.

As you know the children have been deeply engaged in many inquiries throughout this term, and the last.  We have looked for 2D and 3D shapes in our indoor and outdoor environments and discovered a wealth of them! Rectangles, spheres, triangles, cylinders, circles, hexagons, pentagons and dodecahedrons …… , even the Recycling symbol is in the shape of a triangle!

The Mead Room children have begun to collect some of the paper recycling throughout the ELC to ensure it makes it to the first stop in its recycling journey.

We celebrated International Mud Day on Thursday, reveling in all things muddy, murky, squelchy and sticky. Many thanks to Mr Richards from the Cooper Room for propelling us along this messy experience!

Christian V – I liked digging in the mud
Cody – Squishy and slippery, I liked to jump!
Ginger – It was squishy, muddy and messy
Lucius – I loved playing with it
Max – I liked getting my gumboots muddy
Owen – I got stuck!
Tom – I just splashed it on my face!
Teddy – I liked digging and getting muddy.

Miss Boler and Miss Chelsea Wright have a wonderful Winter holiday program planned. 
  
Take care of each other,

Melissa and Georgia
