Langley
Langley children set up shop this week, selling everything imaginable. Our boxes came into use and were sold off to customers. The children all took turns in using the cash register, taking the money in and out and speaking over the phone. We discussed the different foods and objects being sold to our friends like the weet bix and green cucumber.
Following up this shop interest we look forward to getting out the fruit and vegetables and setting up a fruit and veg shop in the week to come.

Mead
Dear Mead Room Parents,
We have continued to investigate colour this week in the Mead Room. This week's focus colour has been green and the children have mixed colours, printed, finger painted and modelled with clay. We have made a graph of our favourite colours and in keeping with the colour theme some children have brought in Show and Tell items focusing on specific colours. Hamish brought in a green fern, and we decided to try and print the fern leaves onto green paper. They did a wonderful job. We are practicing hard for the Christmas Nativity which is looming quickly.

Cooper
This week Cooper Room have begun investigating colours on the light box. The boys looked at coloured cellophane with the light behind it and found their favourite colours. We glued the different colours to clear container lids over the light and then discovered that when you overlap the colours they change... blue and red making purple was very exciting! Many of the boys have chosen to return to the this activity over the week to see what new combinations they can make. Next we will hang these at the window to see what happens when sunlight shines through them. Kind regards, Ali

Edgerley
Dear Edgerley Parents,
This week has again been a wonderful investigation into the world of colour. We worked together to create paint from cell mix so that we could illustrate the rainbows we had created with prisms. We learned about the colour green and really enjoyed mixing up our own greens, we made a lot of different ones. Towards the end of the week we began to create butterfly prints and squashed colours together in between paper. We mixed primary colours in our super silk trays and finally looked for rainbows elsewhere in our room….we found them… on the face of CD’s!!! They were beautiful!

Chapple
After some creative imaginative play with the playdough over the last couple of weeks, the children were invited to make pasta on Thursday. It is a great hands on, messy activity, with a fantastic reward at the end- yummy, fresh, home-made pasta! Everyone was left wanting more!.JPG)
