Dear Mead Room families and friends,
Our big container of paper pulp is nice
and soggy now! We will start making our paper next week. We asked the children if they would like to
touch the pulp…. this is what they discovered:
Houyi – soft
Charlotte – It's very squishy
Max – It's squeltchy
Christian
S – like mud
Vivienne – it feels like melted chocolate!
A huge thankyou to Miss Ellen for
organising an ambulance visit. Matt (Hamish and Liam’s dad), came to
the ELC with his team. They came to talk to us about what Paramedics
do, how we can recognise them, and how they help the community. They let us put
the flashing lights and sirens on – the siren was very loud!
Christian
V – Ambulances are for
rescues
Cody – On the telephone you have to ring 3
‘0’s
Tom – What are the lights for?
Matt shared with us that the lights and
the sirens are to get the ambulance through the traffic safely, they warn the
people driving that they need to move out of the way!
Millie knows a thing or two about Paramedics
and she shared this important information with us; “Ambulances are really for
rescues…. and emergencies. You have to
call 000 and they will have to help.”
We have five new Mead Room friends –
tadpoles! We have been scrutinising their movements in the water and the
changes that are occurring!
Bill – They come out of an egg. They get bigger. They’re tadpoles, and then a
frog.
Rupert – They turn into frogs. They get no tail when they turn into a frog.
Isla
D-G – They need lots
of water and food.
Charlie – Tadpoles turn into frogs.
Scout
– They’re little
tadpoles.
We are still investigating rhyme and
rhythm in the books that we read and the songs that we sing. We have finished our extra verses for “The Pirate
Song” and will print them out for you all to sing at home!
Take care of each other,
Melissa and Georgia
