Edgerley and Chapple Rooms

Welcome back from the Easter break, what a short week it has been!
As we may have seen the last of the warm weather for another season, we have taken every opportunity to be outdoors and active. Along with walking up to the big school for a play on the ‘big boy’s’ playground, bug hunting has also been very popular. Many Minibeasts such as spiders, praying mantis’, moths, butterflies and beetles have all been investigated.
We have also worked hard this week to create a playmat for the animals and dinosaurs. Using paint and papier mache, we have created volcanoes, a waterhole, rocks, deserts, trees and grass.
Oliver K said ‘Look at the dirt! There’s lots of dirt on here! You can put grass on top of the dirt. Maybe the animals will climbs on these rocks. My bit is a desert.’

Cooper and Mead groups

Hairs Cooper and Mead!
The Cooper and Mead children decided on Thursday that they wanted to set up a hair salon. Zac B and Ajeet went to the store room and found everything that was needed.
Since then the hairdressers have been working flat out. Up dos, cuts (with finger scissors), styles, and blow dries have been very popular as have makeovers.
Even Mrs Porter was lucky enough to secure an appointment for a gorgeous styling session from our talented staff.
If you have any old hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, smocks, or hair posters we would love them to develop our salon.
It has been a wonderful holiday program, Have a great weekend!

Langley Room

We have made the most of the sunshine in the Langley room this week in preparation for a week of rain! We have been on adventures around the big school and even had a go on the big playground next to the oval! It’s a lot bigger than our playground with lots of different challenges. We’ve also had fun practicing our balancing skills outside using the bouncy balls, stilts, walking pedal pushers and balance beams. It takes lots of practice to perfect the new skills.

“I’m walking on the balance!” said Stella proudly as she walked on the stilts after much practicing.
“Oooh, it’s a bit wobbly!” commented Sophia excitedly as she tried to balance on the ball so that she could bounce. Abhi saw Sophia’s excitement and came to join her. “We bouncing!” she cried happily as she looked to Abhi with a smile.

We look forward to starting our exciting new unit, changing states, next week!

Kind regards,

Jess, Kerry, Jennifer and Hayley

Signing in and out

Dear Parents,

If your child has been away over the holidays please initial the sign in sheets for the days they would have normally attended and we have marked as absent. This is to confirm that they were booked that day for government auditing purposes.

Thankyou
Jeanine

Gastro Bug

There has been a nasty gastro bug doing the rounds at the centre over the last couple of weeks. We have distributed information this week about preventing passing this on to others . If your child has vomitting or diarrhoea please keep them at home for at least 24 hours after the symptoms cease as the virus can remain in their system during this time.


Thankyou
Jeanine

Easter Bonnet Parade

The Town Square was abuzz with colour and excitement on Wednesday for our Easter Bonnet Parade. Many hours were spent at home with our families creating Easter bonnet masterpieces! Thank you to the OSHC students and some parents who came to be our audience and greeted us with much loud applause as we paraded down the catwalk.

Happy Easter from the ELC staff

Cooper and Mead groups

The Cooper and Mead children have been very busy this week getting ready for Easter. The Easter Bonnet Parade was a very exciting day. The Children worked hard to design and create some fantastic bonnets!
We have also been experimenting with patterns this week. The children discovered patterns in some interesting places.
“Look at this pattern, hey its teeth!” exclaimed Deacon.
“Mine is a fish” explained Erin.
On Wednesday we were lucky enough to finally catch a glimpse of that shark that has been on the run (or swim!). Luckily he was outside the ELC fence. We managed to get a photo and the children quickly sketched what they had seen, so now we have evidence of its existence!
Have a safe and happy Easter.
Emma, Susan, Bethany and Wendy

Chapple and Edgerley rooms

Easter, Easter, Easter!
This week has been an Easter Eggs-travaganza! As well as making Easter cards and bunny ears, many children have been busy at home making Easter bonnets for our parade. We paraded our creations in front of the OSHC children, who were a fantastic audience!
Our ELC escapee, the notorious shark also made an appearance this week, to everyone’s delight. A large blue fin was seen lurking behind our fence; any future sightings should be reported straight to Mrs. Nacca!
From all the Chapple-Edgerley staff, have a happy and safe Easter, we look forward to seeing you all next week.
From Rosalie, Sinead, Eleanor and Wendy.

Langley Room

The Langley room has been in full swing celebrating Easter this week! We have created colourful Easter eggs at the easel, practiced our fine motor skills opening and closing eggs to see what surprise animals are inside, read Easter stories, made bunny ears, participated in an Easter bonnet parade and used chocolate smelling play dough! We have to remember that it’s not real chocolate though, so we can’t eat it. Wow, we’ve been busy! We also got to go for some adventures around the school, running across the oval; playing games and watching the older children play tennis on the tennis courts.

We wish all our families a very happy and safe Easter weekend and look forward to seeing you all back from next Wednesday.

Kind regards,
Jess, Kerry, Jennifer and Hayley

In the Classrooms

Langley

Recently the children have been engaged with story tables where we have been able to retell our own versions of familiar stories using adjuncts. Our story this week has been ‘Dear Zoo’ and it has been a huge hit with the children. Oscar and Miss Jess retold the story to Alex,

“I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet and they sent me…” said Miss Jess,

“An e-phant (elephant)!” said Oscar excitedly as he lifted the flap in the story book. He hunted for the elephant amongst the boxes,

"But he was….” said Miss Jess,

“too big!” cried Oscar, “so I sent ‘im back” he added as he put the elephant back in the box.

So they sent me….” said Miss Jess as Oscar turned the page, “A giraffe!” said Oscar as he pulled the giraffe out of its box.

“But he was….” said Miss Jess, “too tall!” continued Oscar, “so I sent ‘im back” he added.

Oscar continued with the story as Alex helped him to hunt for some of the animals in the boxes. What a wonderful way to develop relationships and practice our literacy skills all at the same time.

Kind regards,

Jess, Kerry, Jennifer and Hayley Mead

Dear Mead Parents, We have been busy doing some secret brewing and mixing of potions in the Mead room this week. We can't say much more, as it is a surprise for our Mums - but we have had alot of fun! Have a wonderful Easter everyone,

Best wishes,

Emma M, Susan L and Emma G Cooper

The Cooper children have enjoyed our Easter preparations this week. We read egg and chicken books and sang our hopping bunny song. Everyone made a bunny basket just in case the Easter bunny called in and we talked about what might happen at Easter time…

“When people are kind the Easter Bunny comes… Wild rabbits live at farms and deserts. Wild rabbits actually have sharp teeth” Harry told us.

“They live in cages” said Deacon.

“So they can’t do anything or bite people” said Harry.

“The Easter Bunny give you a lot of eggs ‘cause he got a big basket” said Deacon hopefully.

“He gives lots of chocolate” said Tom.

“Easter Bunnies drop chocolate when they’re out” Alex said.

“Easter Bunny eat chocolate” thought Austin.

“He carries Easter eggs… And guess what I’m getting at Easter! A big, fat Easter egg!” said Oliver.

“Where is the Easter bunny?” wondered Ajeet.

“In the North Pole” answered Charlie.

“He makes chocolate Easter eggs” said Aidan.

On Thursday Mrs Bishop told the Easter story to all the ELC children and on Friday there was a very special surprise! We hope that everyone has a happy holiday break and look forward to seeing you back in Cooper in Term 2.

Kind regards,

Ali and Susan Chapple

What an exciting way to end the term with shark hunts and Easter egg hunts!! The children have been very interested in sharks, since one escaped and is lurking around our kindy. We have made binoculars and torches to search with and shark teeth and puppets to play with and have looked up information in books and on the internet to find out the answers to our interesting questions! On a not so scary note, we have been busy preparing for Easter celebrations, making baskets for eggs and fluffy bunny ears to hop around in. Thank you all for a wonderful first term, we appreciate your support and we are looking forward to a fun filled holiday program!

Enjoy the Easter break, warm wishes -

Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue Edgerley

Dear Edgerley Parents,

We have had a busy week collecting mini bugs (you may have noticed our growing collection on the piece of Styrofoam. We have also begun to collect feather and seed pods “because that’s what museums have, but NOT scats, we don’t want scats” said Louie We have talking a lot about rules for collecting bugs. These are the rules we came up with:

You can catch butterflies if you can catch them but they are really fast!

If you see something with a stinger you have to ask an adult for a glass jar, this includes bees!!

Nobody is allowed to touch or collect spiders because sometimes the bad spiders try to trick you by looking like good spiders and then they bite you .

You cannot pull the wings or legs of living insects because it’s not nice (we developed this new rule just today!)

Happy Hunting

A Great Date For Your Diary! - Bottle and Plate Night

Dear Parents, The ELC Representatives would like to invite you to the JOINT ELC BOTTLE AND PLATE NIGHT ,Friday 27th May 2011 at The Piper Pavilion .Come and enjoy an art auction, lucky dip, wine bar and silent auction. Guaranteed to be a FANTASTIC night. Pencil it in your diary today Thankyou ELC Representatives

Working Bee

Thankyou to Kirrily, Kirsty and David for pitching in at our working bee, we really appreciate it Thanks again ELC Staff

Key Pad

Dear Parents, you will notice that we have a new key pad as we were having trouble with the old one sticking. Thankfully that has solved the problem with the sticking buttons but we still ask that you do not allow ANY children to use the keypad, it is for adults only. This assists us in not having to reset the system when too many numbers are pressed at the same time.

Have You Seen Our Shark?

Dear Parents,

There was much excitement in our centre today with a potential escapee on the loose. A sleeping shark in his tank was “delivered” to the centre in a tall box (or so the story goes!) yesterday, BUT when we came to school this morning a huge bite mark had appeared in the box (along with some drip marks) and the shark was gone!! Much discussion was had by all classes and the four year olds even went on a hunt around the Prep and Senior School to see if they could locate him. We even ran into the Headmasters assistant, Mrs Gleaves, who informed us that she had indeed seen a fin in the school fountain earlier that morning! But alas, no shark was to be found. Where could he be? The children have drawn illustrations and written some notes to inform the general public about a shark on the loose…..so keep your eyes peeled!

In the Classrooms

Langley Inspired by our Grandies Day discussions around our Grandparents, some of the children have been talking about other members of their families. We have been talking about who is in our families. Sophia decided that she would like to draw a picture of her family. “This is Mummy” she explained. “and this is Daddy” she continued as she drew. She drew another smaller circle on the page and announced “this is Daniel”. “Who else is in your family?” asked the Teacher, “Sophia!” she cried excitedly and promptly drew herself. In order to follow on from the children’s interests, we would love it if each child could bring in a family photograph to share with their peers and continue our discussions. Kind regards, Jess, Kerry, Jen and Hayley

Mead

The Mead children have enjoyed a variety of interactions with each other this week. We have had a real focus on social skills and team work. They have loved playing "Bug in the Rug" and "Duck, Duck, Goose" which have encouraged everyone to contribute and interact, share, take turns, exchange and communicate feelings. The group games have strengthened friendships which have extended to the outdoor play where children are playing with others they may not normally play with. It has been a valuable time for the Mead children to step outside their usual boundaries and extend friendship groups.

Best wishes,

Emma M, Susan L and Emma G

Cooper Lately the Cooper children have been showing us how fast they can run now that they are starting to turn four. In the sunny weather this week we have enjoyed playing a crocodile running game outside. The children on the hill call out 'Crocodile, crocodile, may we cross the water to see your lovely daughter?' and the crocodile calls one person to run very fast to the fence across the river. Miss Sandow and Mrs Blake make very good snapping crocodiles! All the children can run quickly and work out ways of tricking the crocodile as they run past. It's lots of fun to play with all the class and have everyone join in (and good exercise too!).

Kind regards,

Ali and Susan

Chapple

We have had a wonderful week making our own I Am book. We each have our own page and we are going to have a class book, so please read it if you find it on our book shelf! We have learnt some new songs - Tuna Fish, This Old Man and Buckle My Shoe. We have made the most of the beautiful weather and have really enjoyed playing on the big boys oval, chasing, exploring the big gum tree, having running races and playing games like Duck Duck Goose and Fruit Salad. Many children have been interested in making their names with the wooden letters, so we have made a self-registration board. Each morning when they arrive, the children can find their name and stick it on the board, then if they are interested they can have a turn at writing their name too. We only have one week before the holiday program begins, please bring in your child's portfolio so we can add their learning stories in.

Warm wishes,

Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue

Edgerley

Dear Edgerley Parents

Our trip to the South Australian Museum was a roaring success this Wednesday. We were able to explore, touch and discover. We thoroughly investigated the entomology collection in the drawers and held skulls and skeletons, We saw a giant squid and ventured through the underwater gallery. Finally we discovered a sleeping lion in the biodiversity hall! We enjoyed a picnic lunch on the grass and then all had fun rolling down the grassy hills beside the State Library. Then we walked back home (it was a long walk)!! But… what information did we discover?

“That the mummy redback has a stripe and the baby didn’t” said Francesco

“When you look in those binocular things starfish have bubbles on them” said Noah

“Giant squids have eyes on the sides of their heads” said Alexi

“Giant squids are taller than us” said Aggie

“Crystals can be big” said Luca

“Dinosaur bones can turn into fossils” said Hugo

“The museum has a collection of poos and they are called scats!!” said Mrs Nacca.

We saw so many interesting things that we can’t put all of the photos on our blog! If you want to see what we saw you will have to come into our classroom. Instead we are choosing to share the photo of what we looked like when we got back! Have a great weekend and a good rest!

Working Bee

Dear Parents, Thanks to those who will join us for a short while at our working bee. Please lend a helping hand if you have a spare ½ hour on the 13th April Morning tea provided Thankyou ELC Staff

Portfolios

Dear parents who have not yet returned their child’s portfolio, Each term staff work hard to document children’s learning and progress, we share this with children through their portfolios. A large number of Chapple room portfolios have not yet been returned and teachers would like to archive children’s work in them before the end of the term. If your child’s portfolio is still outstanding please pass it to Mrs McGee or Miss D at the start of next week. Thankyou Mel Bishop

Easter Bunny is on His Way!

Dear Parents, It is that time of year again when children start to look for signs that Easter Bunny is on his way. We are hoping that Easter Bunny might visit us on 15th of April for an Easter eggs hunt (if we are good!!!) Unfortunately our hunt is only for children who normally attend on a Friday. Children do enjoy bringing Easter eggs for their friends and are welcome to share some but we would ask that you follow our simple rules to avoid egg overload. Please only bring 1 small egg for each class member (it’s often easiest to buy a packet of tiny loose eggs) Please only let your child distribute eggs into our bunny baskets in class. Please choose nut free eggs. Children will not be allowed to eat any eggs until they have been taken home so that parents may regulate how much chocolate has been eaten. Children will be able to take their bunny baskets home on the last day of term, Friday 15th of April. Our annual Easter Bonnet parade will take place in term holidays on the 20th of April at 10.30 so get your thinking caps on! An empty upturned ice-cream container is always a good place to start!! Parents are welcome to come and take photos. Kind regards ELC staff

Langley

Thank you to all our Grandies who came to visit us at kindy on Wednesday. We hope you all enjoyed our beautiful singing at the concert and had an opportunity to see all of the wonderful experiences we have while we are here. We know the Langley children enjoyed having you here. “I chased Granny. Granny said to me, “you might fall over!” but Granny hold my hand” said Lily.

“Nanny, we did a puzzle, we click our tongue, click, click, click, making cooking” said Izabella. “Neenie and Susie, saw Lily on the chair, some play dough and outside a big slide” said Felix. “Nonna, si (yes)!!” said Leonardo.

Kind regards,

Mead

What an exciting day the Mead children had on Thursday. We caught a bus (a first time for many) from the ELC to the Festival Theatre, to a performance of 'The Instant Orchestra Workshop'. It was a highly interactive concert which had the children singing, dancing, role playing, instrument playing and even inventing our own original compositions! We all sat in a huge circle on cushions under a tent, and had a turn playing an anklung, a tuned bamboo rattle from Indonesia. The two lead performers, Martin and Nico, introduced us to a double bass and accordion too, and were wonderful at getting the children involved and capturing their attention. Martin and Nico said we were a fantastic orchestra - and we were great listeners too!

Best wishes,

Emma M, Susan L and Emma G

Cooper

On Thursday the Cooper students, teachers and mums set off on a bus to the Instant Orchestra Workshop. We loved this performance! Martin and Nico played instruments and had the children up and moving from the very beginning. They sang a very exciting and slightly scary pirate song, played along with a double bass and piano accordion and waved the magic paintbrush! Everyone in the audience had the chance to play an anklung (a tuned bamboo rattle from Indonesia) and together we formed a loud but tuneful instant orchestra! It was a lovely morning out made even better by the beautiful weather down by the Torrens.

A big thank you to Diana, Karen and Michelle for their great assistance on our trip.

Kind regards,

Ali and Susan

Chapple

Thank you to everyone that came along to Grandies Day. This is what some of the children had to say about their favourite part of the day...

"My favourite thing was showing them around" said Blake.

"I liked playing in the sandpit together" said Oliver.

"I liked bouncing ball with Trevor and Ian" said Jesse"I liked play outside together" said Nathaniel.

"Making sandcastles with my Grandma" said Charlie H.

"Going in the jungle with Baba" said Jazz.

"In the sandpit with Nanny" said Ryan.

We hope you enjoyed our beautiful singing voices and walking through our Sound Garden! Thank you all for donating the books to our centre and for an enjoyable morning.

Warm wishes -

Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue.

Edgerley

Dear Edgerley Parents, We have continued our exploration about information this week and discovered a new way to find out information. On Tuesday morning Langley children found a beautiful spider web with a spider in the centre that they shared with us. We spent a lot of time looking and observing. “We could get some bugs for it! “, suggested Louie, and with that the boys set off in the playground to find some bugs for the spiders breakfast. It wasn’t long before Louie was back with a caterpillar. “I found a slug” he said and then as the boys watched he dropped it gently onto the web from above. It stuck on the silvery strands and made the whole web quiver. We watched as the spider moved towards the caterpillar and started to eat it. The caterpillar didn’t like it one bit.

Two days later Luca rushed up to the teacher with an excited look on his face “I caught a butterfly” he exclaimed, opening his hands just a tiny bit .

“I think it’s a moth” said James

We decided that the butterfly wouldn’t like to stay in Luca’s hands so found him a clear container and added a piece of watermelon for him to eat. As the children watched the butterfly, with the now broken wing, walked over to the watermelon and stared to eat it with a long curly tongue. We discussed our discoveries in class and decided that we had found out two new pieces of information about insects.

- Spiders webs can be made of one hundred circles

- Butterfly tongues are curly

We thought about how we had discovered this new information.

“We noticed the spider web!” said Hugo

“…with our eyeballs” said Aadi

“Our eyes looked” added Aggie

One more way to find our information! I wonder if we can add any more to our list?

Have a great weekend

Mel and Rosalie

PS: If there are any Edgerley parents who are able to bring an i-pad for us to have a look at for a few minutes on Tuesday morning next week we are busting to find out some information on one of those!!!!

Grandies Day Thankyous

Dear Parents,

Please pass on our enormous thanks to all the Grandies and Great-Grandies that attended our annual Grandies Day. They made it a wonderful day for the children and it was thrilling to see how much interest they took in the inquiry the children involve themselves in at Kindergarten. We were overwhelmed with the unexpectedly large turn out and were so pleased that they could all take the time to spend the morning with us (one eighty-nine year old grandie even drove himself to the function, proving age is no barrier when the heart is willing!) Thanks to the very generous donations of all our grandparents (and super neighbours, Trevor and Ian!) we were able to purchase $1500 worth of books for the children’s library. These books will be covered in our upcoming working bee and distributed into classrooms so that the child whom the book has been purchased on behalf of can share it with their classmates before it goes onto the library shelves.

In the rush of the morning we did forget to make some very important thankyous.

*Thankyou to Mrs Emma McKenzie for coordinating Grandies Day again this year.

*Thankyou to Harry’s Mum, Vanessa, for the delicious kisses cupcakes that she prepared for all our Grandies (Vanessa, it was such a kind thought that made the staff feel so supported, you have officially been voted our cupcake queen!)

*Thankyou to Mr Rob Wagenfellar again this year for scones and cream, and the extra time he put in at work to make sure they were ready for our special guests.

*Thankyou to Duane and Megan from Festival Photos for managing to photograph fifty families in fifty minutes!

*Thankyou to Mrs McGee, Mrs Blake, Miss Jess and Mrs Lock for spending their afternoons preparing our environment and an extra special thanks to Mrs Lock for coming in on her day off!!

*And last but in no way least, a massive thankyou to our wonderful parent helpers on the day, Owen’s Mum Christine, Sophie’s Mum Karen, Eddie’s Mum Estelle, Max’s Mum Tabytha, Dougal, Daisy and Fergus’s Mum Chloe, Ethan’s Mum Jay, Jack and Molly’s Mum Sophie and Raphael’s Mum Louisa. Our book sale and morning tea would not have been able to occur without you.

Professional photos taken on the morning will be available on line in approximately two weeks. If Grandies filled in the e-mail box on their photo form they will receive an e-mail alert when their photos are ready to be viewed. We will also put details on our blog site and ask that parents forward the details to their respective grandies (at first peep yesterday they looked quite stunning!)

Kind regards
