In the Classrooms

Langley
We have been celebrating Easter this week with a range of activities and experiences. Our chocolate smelling brown play dough has been a huge hit! The children have been practicing their fine motor skills as they roll the play dough into little balls and wrap them in silver foil, just like real Easter eggs. The children have also made special Easter baskets to take home so that the Easter bunny knows where to leave their eggs. Thankyou to all the families who helped their children create their bonnets for our Easter bonnet parade. The Wednesday children proudly paraded their creations for the Year 1s and 3s who were very impressed. Langley children have also been excited about our very hungry caterpillars that have been busy eating all of our leaves and some of them have turned it to chrysalis’s, we can’t wait for the butterflies to come out! We hope you all have a happy and safe Easter.
Kind regards,
Jess, Adele, Kerry and Jennifer

Mead
Dear Mead Room Parents,
What a finale to the term! The children have enjoyed all things Easter this week. We have stuck, glued, cut, painted, printed, made Easter Baskets, read stories, dressed up, watched a giant chick hatch from a giant egg in water and for the grand finale we had the Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Egg Hunt.
We wish you all a very happy Easter.
We are very sad to see Mrs Penny White leave us at the end of this term to take a position at Wilderness Girls' School. We thank her for all her love, care and support she has given the children and staff in the Mead room and wish her all the very best in her new position.
Emma, Susan and Penny

Cooper
The Cooper boys have a had a lovely week enjoying all things Easter. Angus brought us a big blue egg which we are watching with great anticipation. Immersed in water, it is slowly cracking and starting to hatch. The boys have made predictions about what will come out - will it be a dinosaur, a snake or something else?! We gathered with the other ELC children to hear Mrs Bishop tell the Easter story and of course had a wonderful time parading our Easter bonnets.
A big thank you to all our fantastic Cooper families for all their help and support over this term. We hope you have a safe and happy Easter break and look forward to seeing you over the holidays and in Term 2.
Kind regards,
Ali, Susan and Sue

Chapple
We have had a lovely, but busy end to Term One. The Easter Bonnet Parade on Wednesday was a wonderful experience for staff, children and their families.
Thank you to all the parents and friends who put in a lot of effort to make their child's bonnet look divine. The Easter Egg Hunt was also a lovely way to finish off the term. Thank you to everyone who brought in chocolates to share with the class- there was a lot! It has been a fantastic term and the children are now very settled and relaxed in our environment. Next term's unit, 'From Farm Gate to Kitchen Plate' will be a busy one and we are all looking forward to it. There will be lots of cooking and food experiences to enjoy!
Have a lovely and safe Easter. Enjoy the break!

Wow, what a whirlwind term! We have been very industrious children in the last ten weeks and our Easter Bonnet Parade was a wonderful way to culminate this busy term. If you come into our classroom you will notice that all our work has been filed or placed in our lockers ready for the new term. We wish those travelling away a safe and happy holidays and look forward to seeing a few faces in holiday care with Mr Kerber.
We look forward to an exciting term ahead, the last one in Kindergarten before we graduate into the big school! What an adventure.
Kind Regards
Mel and Rosalie
