In the Classroom

Langley
Welcome to all children and families to the Langley Room
The main focus of our program for the next few weeks will be on the development of secure attachments, to enable each child to establish security within the learning environment and with their teachers.
Children of this age learn best in small groups and therefore learning through play experiences in small groups will also be a key part of the program.
The teachers in the Langley Room have begun to develop individual strategies for each child during the settling process and this will be done with the full knowledge of and in consultation with the families of each child.
Thank you all Langley parents for the support you have shown us in the last few days.
Please feel free to contact the Early Learning Centre during the day to check on your child’s progress during this transition time.

Kind Regards
Andrea, Adele, Sarah and Chloe

The first week has flown by and has been a fantastic opportunity for the children to settle in and become familiar with their wonderful new environment.
We have witnessed a great enthusiasm in the children towards exploring the facility and returning to rekindle old friendships and foster new ones.

Please remember to sign your child in and out each day and to send in a named water bottle each day. If you have any queries or concerns please feel free to discuss these with one of the classroom teachers or by sending an email to Emma at emckenzie@pac.edu.au or Susan at slock@pac.edu.au . These will be checked daily. "My Family" by Hamish

We have had such a fantastic start to the term. We have been having lots of fun exploring the new centre and making new friends.
Here’s what we think you should come and see:
Daniel- ‘Everything!’
Vasilis- ‘The inside sandpit because my Grandma will like it.’
Harrison- ‘The treehouse because the hook is so fun!’
Mason Ross- ‘The light table with all the coloured stones.’
Henry- ‘The outside climbing playground because Mummy and Daddy like slides.’
Amongst all the excitement of our new surroundings, we also took a trip up to the senior school to see some Monster Trucks. They were huge!
Kind Regards

What a wonderful start to the term. We welcomed new faces to our small group and particularly enjoyed playing together building police stations with the duplo. Outside we enthusiastically raced each other on our new bikes. We discussed how to use the bike track safely with each other. We also enjoyed finding old friends in other parts of our new centre. Caleb illustrated a map to help people find their way around.
“You do a map of the world” said Henry Norton
“Or you can put on islands like one for a pirate” said Jake
“This is a map of Kindy so we know where to go, we have to put the steel on and everything” said Caleb
