Dear families and friends,
It’s been a movin’ and groovin’ kind of week in the
Wilkins room. The children have shown a keen interest in music, dance and
movement over the last couple of weeks so we have introduced some dancing
ribbons for the children to explore and inspire their dancing. We have been
developing our listening skills using action songs and rhymes. Some of our
favourites are The Echo Song, Mr Clickety Cane and Drive Around Australia - you
might like to explore some of these songs at home with your children - I’m sure
they’d love to show you their moves.
Inspired by Sammy and Ariana’s rainbow paintings, we have
been taking a closer look at what rainbows are this week. Using pictures we
talked about what we already know about rainbows as we created our own images
using black paper and colour chalk. We discovered we already know so much about
rainbows and how they are created!

We will be keenly watching the skies for rainbows over the coming weeks.
Please snap a photo if you happen to see one and send it through to us to
share. To explore this further, we will be creating our own rainbow with the
Cooper room children. If you have any rainbow coloured objects at home (bottle
tops, scraps of fabric, feathers), please bring them in and add them to our
sorting basket near the sign in sheets.
We are deep in the midst of our Big Boys Breakfast preparations also, make sure you have taken your invite from your locker and
please return the RSVP to the box at the front office as soon as possible. We
look forward to sharing this morning with all our Big Boys.
Miss Melissa will be on leave for the next 5 weeks (we
are very jealous of her European vacation!). Miss Chelsea and Miss Sharon will
be in the classroom with us to cover Melissa.
Best wishes for the weekend.
Ellen, Courtenay, Melissa and Jess
