Langley
In Langley the children are beginning to understand the daily routines and developing a sense of security in their new environment. The children are showing signs of settling by being actively involved in group experiences, participating and initiating in play, developing secure attachments with their teachers and listening and following simple instructions.
During the week the children have enjoyed painting, drawing, dress ups, dancing and riding the cars and bikes outside. We reflect on our experiences with the children and encourage conversations.
“Do you wear a helmet when you ride your bike?”
“Yes, with Annabelle!”, said Henry
Next week we look forward to beginning our star of the week program and continuing to work with the children and their families in the settling process.

Mead
Dear Mead Room Parents,
Another week has gone and the Mead children have continued to do a fantastic job settling in to their new environment. We have been busy drawing self portraits which are going to be a part of a 'getting to know you' discovery wall in our classroom. Come and have a look next week! Every morning we have met with the 4 year old classes for a singing session in the square. We are practicing for a special performance for 200 guests and are learning words well and singing with much animation!
We are encouraging all the children to bring in an item for 'show and tell' time once a week. This is a great opportunity for each child to be in the 'lime light' and practice speaking in front of an audience. It also encourages their peers to listen and ask questions. Please do not send in any toys. We encourage items such as photos, brochures of special places they have visited, books, special items of interest.
The meal time routines are running smoothly now and this is a great time for children to try new foods and eat with their friends in a community environment. Often we find children taste new foods that they wouldn't normally try, if their friends are eating them. The home made chicken nuggets were a great hit today with some children having a third serve.

Chapple
We have had another wonderful week in the Chapple Room! As part of our PYP Unit, Belonging, we have discussed what it means to be part of the Princes Community. This led to reading the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Several children brought in their own copy from home and we have loved reading all of them! Next week, we will be making porridge and focusing on the story of the Three Little Pigs.
Kind Regards

Edgerley
Edgerley children have been discussing “belonging” this week and trying to decide what it means.
“We belong to Australia” said Christian
“I belong at my house” said Caleb
“In our inside, in our school we belong” said Jake
“How do people know we belong to our school?” asked the teacher
“‘Cause I telled you, because this is our school” said Henry
“Our school is Little Princes” said Jake
“Our school is Prince Alfred College” said Eric
“People know because of our t-shirts” said Henry N
“Because we have crowns” said Eric
We set off on a search for other crowns in our school and took lots of photos. Come in to our classroom and see, you would surprised at how many there were!
