In the Classrooms

Langley
This week in Langley many of the children created stunning paintings for their grandparents as an extension learning experience from the visits on Grandies day on September 11th 2009. These paintings have formed the Messages of Love display that you can see in the Langley. Teachers recorded individual children’s thoughts and conversation as part of this experience and also included personal messages of love from the grandparents who attended Grandies Day to add to the display.

Dear Mead Room Parents,
Our children really have had a wonderfully busy and productive term. One area where we have really seen them jump ahead in leaps and bounds is in their Chinese lessons. The children really enjoy their lessons and the songs, stories and games they play to reinforce their learning. This term we have focused on colours and other various vocabulary. Next term the Chinese teacher is going to send home some lists of vocabulary that the children are focusing on so parents can try and help their children practice at home.
We would like to thank all parents for their support this term and look forward to another exciting term after the holidays. Happy holidays to all,
Emma, Susan and Amanda

Edgerley
Following our exploration into statues, we decided to visit Alchemy Iron Works across the road from our Kindergarten. We met Andrew, an artist who creates sculptures using metal. He showed us some statues and all the tools he uses to create his masterpieces. It was exciting to discover what was behind that roller door!

We have had a very busy week with our excursion to the Wesley Uniting Church and our visit to Mr Tutt's office. Thank you to the parents who accompanied us to see the crest in the church. We really loved it!
Thanks from Chapple
