Dear Cooper room families,
Well done to the children who attended and performed at our annual
Nativity Performance on Thursday. We have spent weeks practicing our songs and
actions in the ELC leading up to this big day. It does get a little daunting up
on stage, but I am very proud of the Cooper room for their efforts on Thursday.
Thank you to all of the families who came to watch us perform.
We have been slowly decorating our Cooper Christmas tree this week
with the baubles that we have been working on. They look great hanging on our
tree!
Wow! What a transformation the silkworms have experienced in the
past week. A large percentage of our silkworms have wrapped themselves up in a
silk cocoon and are now moths! Here are some of the children’s interpretations
on the life cycle of a silkworm:
Lucy – They started as silkworm and when we come back in the classroom they changed into a moth. They eat like the Mulberry leaves in the back ground. They lay in the cocoon first. Then they turned into moths and they lay eggs.
Eddie – They are moths.
Cocoon. They make out of moth. They worm. They eat leaves from the trees.
Charlotte – Silkworms, they
eat leaves from outside. They turn into a house. They sleep in there. Then a
caterpillar butterfly comes out.
Beau – Silkworms. They
eat leaves and they finish. Then when they finish they go into a white box.
Cocoon. Cocoons, then they have wings. A moth comes out!
Edward Nyugen – They are
caterpillars. We got lots. They eat leaves and get bigger. They built the
cocoon and then be the butterfly… a moth.
Ollie Chong – Silkworms eat
plants… leaves. All the leaves. Then ‘carton’ (cocoon). Then they moth.
We hope you have a
fantastic weekend.
Love
Miss Gilbert and Miss C
