In the Classrooms

Langley
Prehistoric LangleyThis week in Langley the children have been very interested in dinosaurs so we have introduced our very own dinosaur called Donny into the room. The children have really enjoyed spending time playing with our dinosaur figurines and have also loved doing lots of stamping with our dinosaur stamps. We have made a display to show all our hard stamping work from throughout the week.
We look forward to more dinosaur games to come. Please bring in any cardboard boxes from home so we can make some dinosaurs of our own!
Thank you
Adele, Penny, Chloe and Sarah

Mead
What a hot week. We have been very busy keeping ourselves cool washing babies, playing with water and watching coloured ice melt, creating lots of discussion about colours among our friends. Happy Birthday to Kyla who turned Four this week. We have also spent some time observing our silk worms and chatting about their lifecycle
“We cant wait until they start weaving their silk”, said Max G
Don’t forget our nativity performance next week and please visit our own stable in our class room
Keep cool
Amanda, Emma and Susan

Cooper
The Cooper children have continued experimenting with colour and different mixtures of it this week. Using bright paints they mixed two, three or even six different colours together to see what happened and often discovered that brown was the final result. The children painted individually at the easel and have also enjoyed painting in a small group around a big table, so that they could share and discuss their mixtures with their friends. We have added a variety of music to this experience to see how you can move your body and the paint brush along with the beat and then see what shapes and patterns you might make. The Cooper boys had some great moves and made a very bright and colourful painting! Kind regards, Ali Blake

Edgerley
This week in Edgerley we were posing questions about butterflies and moths. We were fascinated by the parts of them, particularly the antenna and tongues. We juiced fruit from home and pretended it was nectar and then used lots and lots of straws to create butterfly proboscis to drink with…it was little bit messy but a lot of fun. We illustrated our understanding of how butterflies eat and coloured them in with inks.
Regards
Mel and Pip

Chapple
The marble run has been helping us deal with the heat this week! As usual, it has been very popular and there have been some marvellous masterpieces. At one point, some of the children had used it as a sausage roll making machine!
