Dear Mead Room Families and Friends,
We are very excited to welcome new
members to our Mead Room community – a clutch of eggs will be arriving on
Monday….. we can’t wait!!
To support the myriad of ways life
cycles can be investigated we are also talking about our own life cycle! This
week we have been discussing what we already know about babies.. human babies!!
Ginger – Babies are tiny. You need to be
careful with their neck.
Millie – Their skin is delicate.
Grace-Marie
– Babies drink milk.
Tom – I went in my Mummy’s tummy.
Quinn – They come out of a tummy.
Isla
B – Out of Mummy’s
tummy.
Harry – My Mum had a baby in her tummy, and
it was me!
Charlie – They’re little.
Hamish – They cry because they want a feed.
They drink milk.
Jack – Babies sleep, she cries for talking.
Bill – They say ‘goo goo ga ga’.
Are
babies always babies? Or do they change?
Tom – They grow bigger and bigger.
Isla
B – They do crawl.
Jimmy – Babies can grow into a boy…. I’m a
boy!
Max – They grow up.
Zahli – They grow up into people.
This week we have been exploring our
culinary expertise by way of making Gingerbread Men. The children immersed
themselves in this literacy, numeracy and sensory experience!
Jimmy – We used a recipe to put the
ingredients in.
Isla
B – Butter in.
Alfie – Flour and sugar and butter.
Charlie – Sugar! Flour!
Tom – Egg….. no chicken came out.
Isla
D-G – We put ginger in
it.
Anwen – We mix it.
Bill – We rolled it.
Elsie – And a cutter for the gingerbread man
shape.

Quinn – Eat it!
And we did!!
Take care of each other,
