Langley Room


The Langley children have taken to the stage this week, dressing up in costumes to perform songs and dances for their peers. The children sang along to some classics including ‘ABC’ and ‘I’m a little tea-pot’ as well as inventing their own new and ‘catchy’ tunes. Many tea parties have recently taken place within the home corner with the addition of our China tea set and cooking home wares. The children’s interactions during these ‘tea parties’ have provided opportunities for language development, imaginative play and co-operation.

Outside in the yard we have been practicing our bowling skills, aiming the giant spiky balls at the skittles, knocking them all down. The children have also continued to develop their balancing skills navigating their way around the differing paths of the wooden blocks, trying to reach the end of the path without slipping off.

Throughout the week we were also lucky enough to hear Mr Kerber playing his drum kit, and on occasions were able to play along with percussion instruments.

Our older Langley room friends have had some visits to the Cooper room during the week to assist with their transition next term.

Kind regards,Jess, Adele, Kerry and Jennifer
