Langley
In response to children’s interest in grouping, sorting and patterning, we have provided them with a basket of different tiles and treasures to experiment with pattern making and seriation. The children have used them in a range of different ways and created patterns and structures;
“1, 2, 3” counted Stella as she lined the tiles up,
“I doing a big blue and a red. The colours join up” commented Felix,
“Patterns from each end” said Chanel as she extended her tiles from both ends,
“Look steps” said Sophie as she graduated her tiles up and up.
The children are demonstrating their ability to sort, order and seriate and are developing their understanding of one to one correspondence….wow, all of that from a small basket of tiles!
Kind regards,
Jess, Hayley, Kerry and Jennifer

Mead
Dear Mead Parents,
There have been more discoveries in our room this week. The children have problem solved how to get Alexander the Duck out of a tall vase of water by filling the vase with cup after cup of water till he floated to the top. They have made bubbles with mixture, popped them and printed them. They have mixed dry cake mixture with wet mixture and then baked it to make cupcakes. One of the most popular activities has been bubble blowing.

"Look, Look, look at me. Big bubbles. Bubbles on my face" said Eric enthusiastically.
Watch me go. I am making lots of bubbles. big ones, lots of little ones too. You need to blow really hard. The bubbles are coming out of the straw" Jack said.
Sebastian said laughing, "Look, Jack's making bubbles. It's popping".
"Ha, ha. Look at me. Bubbles everywhere. Look on the mirror. Yellow from my bubbles. Pop, pop" Henry screamed with excitement!
"When I touch them they go. I can make the bubbles go. Then I can make them come back" said Joshua proudly.
"You put the straw down and blow and then the bubbles come out" Seth told everyone.
"Yeah. The straws going in. Look it's going down when the bubbles come up!" Jesse announced!

We look forward to more investigations next week.
Best wishes,
Emma M, Susan and Emma G

Cooper
As we continue to investigate Changing States, the Cooper children initiated some pretend fire play in the garden during the week. A small group of children gathered sticks and piled them up on the lawn then sat in a circle around them. When the teachers asked about their game the children explained that they were camping and had made a fire - they were even toasting marshmallows!
"It's hot, it might burn down your stick" warned Zac.
"It's getting hotter" said Noah.
"It looks like barbecue" said Ajeet.
"The marshmallows were all nice and warm" said Henry.
"They get cooked" said Cooper.
"You need to be careful, they're hot" said Ajeet.
The game has continued over a couple of days and been extended with cellophane flames, pots and pans, tent building and 'sleeping' outdoors. We have had lots of warm fire camping fun for such a cold week!
Kind regards,
Ali and Susan

Chapple
Thank you for all the wonderful items the children shared this week about change. We had fun with a jelly bath, chased and popped bubbles in the garden, watched an amazing tree grow colourful crystals and saw a chameleon change colours! The children have continued their interest in magic potions and we have started making our own class spell book. We have also explored mixing coloured water, oil and salt to make a lava lamp. The children were fascinated watching the blobs travel to the bottom and then the bubbles back up as they added the salt. They also discovered that as they added more salt, the mixture changed colours! Here are some statements the children have shared about change....
"How does the bubble go through the oil, how can it make holes?” asked Lucas about the lava lamp.
“Yeah, it’s all puffed up like the colours of a rainbow” exclaimed Max about the crystal tree.
"It feels good" said Nikolay as he enjoyed experiencing the jelly bath.
"I'd like to have a chameleon as a pet so I could see it could change colours" said Nicholas after Ryan's show and tell.
We have learnt so much about change and we can't wait to discover more!
Warm wishes, Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue.

Edgerley
Dear Edgerley Parents,
We continued our investigations into change this week by closely observing our tree in the secret garden. We estimated when we thought all the leaves would have fallen
“In a hundred years!” said James
“By this Friday” guessed Mrs Nacca
We have begun to express our understanding artistically using clay (we plan to add our leaves after the clay has dried). Don’t forget to look at our beautiful autumn paintings on display in the hall as you walk to our classroom. Next week we will pool all our ideas about change and growth by creating our own shared project and construct our own autumn tree in the break out space. We also hope to investigate using the internet and find out why some trees leaves change and some stay green?
Boys enjoyed experimenting with changes to liquid this week using bubble mixture and dye. Many of us came home looking like we had chicken pox!!!! We recorded our bubbles by taking prints on paper.
Kind Regards
Mel and Rosalie

Langley
A huge thankyou to Mrs McCauley and the Year 2M boys who welcomed us into their art class on Wednesday and help us with some experiments to see how different art mediums can change. We used wax crayons and water colours, we experienced tie dying and we looked at how coloured inks react with wet paper. The children later reflected on their experiences;
“We painted” said Archie,
“The big kids did it with me” added Marcus,
“The big boys school, paint a photograph of my Mummy” said Alyssa,
“He helped me paint” reflected Eden,
“Painting, I dipped the water onto the page” said Priyanka.
The children have also discovered some beautiful coloured autumn leaves this week and have been discussing why they are falling off the tree. We would love to collect a big tub of autumn leaves to play with next week so would welcome any donations from your garden!
Kind regards,
Jess, Hayley, Kerry and Emily

Mead
Dear Mead Parents,
This week the children's interest have led to many, many experiments investigating....CHANGES?
Where do the jelly crystals go when we add hot water?
What happens when we squeeze a lemon?
Can we squeeze a carrot?
How did the chocolate turn to mud?
How can I make my mud look like yours - all gooey?
We have been mixing powders with water, squeezing fruit and creating yummy juice, mixing jelly crystals and even melting chocolate (a treat for Mrs McKenzie's birthday)!! Experiments outdoors have created a wonderful recipe for mud and some erupting volcanoes. We are loving the opportunity to mix, stir, watch, listen, crush, grind and mash. It will be a good term to make sure the children have a spare set of clothes in their bag for those messy days!

Wibble wobble jelly making:
"You have to put the jelly in the cups and stir it." Marios
"It makes the jelly all cold - we don't want the jelly to be hot because it might burn our tongues." Jack O
"It takes like a smoothie" Jack J
"It sticks!" Seth
"The crystals have all disappeared into the jelly. The water's all red now." Tommi
"Mine tastes like strawberry." Oliver

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Emma, Susan and Emma.


Cooper
Using pipettes the Cooper children experimented with changing colours this week. First they had to master how to squeeze and fill the pipettes with blue, red or yellow liquid, then how to squirt it in little drops (or big splashes) onto paper towel. The children noticed that different combinations of the primary colours could make new and different colours and also that if you mixed lots of everything you ended up with brown.
"I dribbled it on top of them and they changed colours" observed Marco.
"When you squeeze it a bit it goes a bit dark blue and a bit light blue" said Deacon.
"Look how it changes. I mix the colours and it changes" noticed Ajeet.
"I mix the colours and change. I put blue and yellow then it change, it make green" explained Cooper.
The children also saw how the paper changed from dry to wet and back again when it was hung out. Our next experiment will be how to colour playdough...
Kind regards,
Ali and Susan

Chapple
Flying broom sticks and cauldrons full of magic potions and spells filled our classroom this week. As well as continuing their keen enthusiasm in the world of witches, the children have been talking about how magic spells work and how things can change and transform....so watch out - you might become a frog, or a dinosaur or if you're lucky a princess! We have also been experimenting with painting water colour pictures and adding salt to them whilst they were still wet. Have a look at some of our creations on the wall in our classroom! We also enjoyed watching pop corn pop and change from a kernal to a piece of popcorn....
“On the oven it will be hot and it will pop because it’s hot” said Charlie
“The corn is going to pop, it will be a popcorn” added Ryan
“Yeah, the little stuff will disappeared and grow out to big stuff” said Oliver
“Where did all the little bits of corn go, how did they change?” asked Mrs McGee
“The corn goes inside the popcorn when it pops” said Ryan
“Yeah, it goes inside the corn” added Jesse.

We hope to discover more fun, wonderful things about change next week!
Warm wishes, Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue

Edgerley
Dear Edgerley Parents,
We enjoyed a wonderful week of dissolving. As you are aware we experimented with Milo and jelly crystals (yum) but also tried to dissolve other things such as sand, sugar, corn kernels, instant coffee and then coffee beans. Our experiments produced some unexpected results and we are now keen to explore how things change as a result of drying and melting. We look forward to testing our theories next week.
Kind Regards
Mel and Rosalie

Baby Bits

Dear Parents,
Children in Edgerley class have been giving birth recently and our plastic babies are in need of some baby accoutrements. If you have any old babies bottles, change mats, left over nappies, bibs etc… that we could have or borrow please let Mrs Bishop in Edgerley class know
Thanks

Prep Centenary Picnic

Thankyou to all the families who attended the Prep Centenary Picnic last Sunday. Despite the chilly weather it was a wonderful success. A big thankyou must go to Sam’s mum, Karen for representing the ELC volunteering at the food stall with the P&F. A great day was had by all with something for everyone from footy kicking competitions to tours of the PAC museum and archive with Mr Aldous.
Luca marvels at the stain glass windows in memorium of our boys lost in the Great War in the Princes museum

We have continued our investigation into change this week as we hypothesised about what might happen to celery when we put it in coloured water;
“Maybe it’s going to get bubbles” suggested Alyssa,
“What is going to happen?” pondered Olivia.
The children sat and watched eagerly to see what was going to happen. It took a little bit of time but after we came back from lunch we were excited to discover that something very interesting had happened to the celery;
“It’s going up, up, higher” Alec observed,
“the green is moving” he added, “and the red is starting too”,
“they are trying to get to the very top” he predicted.
“Purple” observed Sebastian R,
“Why have they gone purple?” Miss Jess asked,
“because they are in purple water!” Sebastian R cried excitedly.
Alec and Sebastian R peered into the coloured water, trying to work out how the colour had got up into the leaves;
“Maybe the water went up the stairs” suggested Sebastian R.
“maybe a bug pushed it up” suggested Alec.
Kind regards,
Jess, Kerry, Jennifer and Hayley
Mead
Dear Mead Parents,
There has been a lot of scientific investigations taking place this week in our room. The Mead children have made many discoveries and observed lots of changes taking place. We have turned bread into toast, and watched butter melt onto the toast. We have mixed colours. We decided to investigate how we could change a lemon and a carrot. We discovered that lemons can be squeezed to make lemon juice, and carrots can be grated and then squeezed to make carrot juice.
"I saw it" Gabe said excitedly as the first juice squeezed out of the lemon.
"It's dropping in perfectly" Tommi added.
"We could make lemonade" JJ suggested.
"Or we could make rockmelon juice............apple juice...........orange" others suggested.
"Or coke juice" Jack O added.
"Do you get coke juice from a fruit" Mrs McKenzie asked?
"There might be a coke fruit in a far away land" Jack offered.
"No there not. You don't make it. You just have to buy it" said Milo.
We look forward to more discoveries.
Best wishes,
Emma M, Susan and Emma G

Cooper
In our morning meeting time this week the Cooper children discussed the weather and the children noticed that the days had been getting cooler. We talked about the season being autumn and read a non-fiction book about the season, and then went for a walk around our school to look for changes in the environment. As soon as we walked out the door the children noticed that the trees at the front of the ELC had turned yellow. They looked around and found many leaves had fallen to the ground and that they were many different colours. The children collected hundreds of leaves! We took our leaves back to Cooper and examined them on the light box. Some children chose to paint autumn pictures at the easel and others made prints of the leaves with paint and rollers. As they worked they talked about the changes they had observed...
"They turned all sorts of colours" said Deacon.
"The trees are changing colours because it’s autumn… and even some are changing orange!" noticed Erin.
"The leaves were green and now they’re orange and the spots turned different colours. The green ones turned to yellow" said Lucy.
"When the leaves turn yellow they fall down. It’s sunny. I go out to play" said Marco.
"They changed red" said Austin.
"They change colours when it’s autumn and spring. They’re brown… the trees are brown now. It’s cold on my farm and the sheep have coats and the coats are called wool" explained Harry.
Next week we would like to create an outdoor play space full of autumn leaves, any bags of leaves from families will be gratefully accepted!
Kind regards,
Ali and Susan

Chapple
Welcome back to another term in the Chapple room! This term we are exploring 'Changing States'. The children already had many ideas about change:
Caterpillars turn into butterflies – Ryan

Leaves, they drop on the floor and change colours in Autumn – Charlie

Chameleons change colours to hide - Jesse

Fairies have magic and they can change things with their words – Ashraf

Rainbows can change colours - Max

We have already begun experimenting with mixing water colours, changing the shape of paper through folding, rolling, and twisting seeing what happens when we mix bi-carb and vinegar and changing the colour of flowers! You may have noticed the children working on their magic potions complete with their witches and wizard hats and wands....we are now making cauldrons with paper mache to further explore this world of change and magic.If you would like to see more of what we have been exploring, we have begun to put up some photos and work samples on the wall above the lockers, please have a look!
Warm wishes - Suria, Sinead, Rachel and Sue

Edgerley
Dear Edgerley Parents,
Wow, what a busy week we have had. Dougal led a project using autumn leaves as paint and created a picture of a person with his friends “I think his name is going to be Julian!” he said, looking at the finished product. We also discussed why the autumn leaves had changed colour and decided that it was because of the cold weather. We came up with a list of things that we would like to put in the freezer next week so that we can observe wether coldness can change other things too. We also talked about dissolving. Zac was able to explain to us how things dissolve. “You put milo in the milk and then it goes to nothing and the milk tastes like milo but you can’t see the milo anymore. It will dissolve if you put it in hot milk or warm milk but if you put it in cold milk it stays on the top and stays crunchy and that is not dissolving!” he explained. Next week we will continue to explore the concept of change through dissolving. We also managed to squeeze in another weeding this week!! Newly inspired by Kate and Wills royal wedding we prepared our breakout space for our guests and created wedding rings. Thankyou to Mrs Blake who provided our wedding music. I’m sure that you remember that we are well practiced in the art of hosting weddings after our term four extravaganza! At gym we continued to explore locomotion but particularly enjoyed playing with the parachute… it made our hair stand on end!!
What will next week bring!!
Mel and Rosalie
PS: please continue to send in those baby photos, thankyou to those who already have.

Transition Timetable

Dear Parents,
As the end of the academic year draws to a close we have begun to prepare Cooper, Edgerley and three year old Langley students for their move to their new classrooms. In the coming weeks children will be participating in various transition visits. We have tried to schedule these across the school week so that all students are able to participate but unfortunately some dates are chosen in relation to timetabling restraints. Transition timetables will be posted in children’s pigeon holes next week. You will note that a parent information session will be held for Mid-Year Reception children on Wednesday 29th of June in the Preparatory School. All other parent information sessions will be held on Tuesday the 28th in the Early Learning Centre. We would really appreciate it if all parents could make an effort to attend.

Head Lice

We have had another case of head lice reported to us this week so please continue to check your children and treat if necessary. If you are unsure what they look like please ask a staff member to check for you!

Winter Jackets

As winter seems to have definitely arrived now many children have started to wear their winter jackets to the ELC. We have put our ELC uniform jacket on display in the foyer. This is our preferred option for the children to wear to and from the centre and for outside play during the day. They are available at the uniform shop and if bought in a generous size should last for the duration of your child’s time here at the ELC. Please remember when putting extra layers under your child’s uniform for warmth to keep them in neutral colours (white, navy or burgundy are fine).
Thankyou

Spare Clothes

Our supplies of spare underwear and socks has diminished and we would appreciate any donations ,
Thankyou

Contact Details

If you have had a change of address, phone number or email address please let us know so that we have your correct details and can contact you in an emergency. If you would like to add or change any emergency contact people then please give us those updates also.

Changing States

Dear Parents,
With the arrival of a new term comes a new PYP unit of inquiry. After all the bashing and crashing of Noiseworks we will now jump into the world of scientific observation as we explore our new unit, Changing States.
Under the overarching theme of How the World works we will investigate changes that occur in nature, chemical reactions, how we can affect change, prediction and hypothesis, observing and describing changes that have occurred. This is all a very fancy way of saying that we intend to heat, cool, crush, bash, dissolve, mix, stir, and blow up anything we can get our hands on and see what happens!!! What fun!!
Our investigations began last term as we observed what happened when we put our mum’s bath bombs in water! We hope you all enjoy this Kindy made chemical reaction too.
Cooper students have already begun to explore the changes that occurred as they stirred sugar into water this week, “”There’s sugar but the sugar’s gone away” described Harry as he stirred and watched the sugar dissolve.
Langley students observed the relationship between wax and water as they illustrated with white crayons and then painted over the top with ink. “I can’t see it! Oh no my drawing” said Stella disappointed that she couldn’t see her drawing. “It’s a surprise’ said Olivia reassuringly to her.
Edgerley students immediately observed change in their own environment as they walked to the gym “Because it’s autumn all the leaves fall out” said Roshan as we observed the leaves changing colour on the trees. “The leaves fall down at autumn and then it’s winter and then it’s spring and then it’s back to summer and it just happens again and again” said Henry sharing his knowledge of seasonal change.
The focus of our unit will be predicting and hypothesising and then observing and describing changes and reactions. If you have any skills to share with us in this area please let Mrs Porter know.

Pampered Princesses

Dear Mums,
Thankyou for joining us at the Princesses Tea Party, we hope you felt suitably pampered. The children were so thrilled to be able to paint your nails and we must thank you all for being such great sports!! Brownie points go to all the mums who still had their polish on this morning!
A big thankyou must go to Mrs Lock for all her organising and of course to Mr Wagenfellar for his four am wake up to prepare our scones on time. Thankyou again.
The photographs taken on the day by the lovely blokes from Festival will be available to be viewed on their website in two weeks’ time (and don’t forget, the beautiful Grandies Day photos are there as well).
After many requests we are now sourcing business cards from Mr Nick Greb and they will be available on the buffet in the coming week. Nick is part of the PAC family and works with PAC property services; he is also a qualified masseuse.

We are still collecting donations for breast cancer research so feel free to make any additional donations to our pink pigs in the entry way.

We hope you all have a special Mother’s Day on Sunday
Lots of love from the ELC team

Cooper and Mead Specialists

Dear Parents of three year old children,
To facilitate the maximum amount of students exposure to our wonderful specialist program whilst still leaving enough time for independent investigation in the classroom Cooper and Mead will exchange specialist times for the remainder of this term. This will now mean that Mead students will attend PE on Mondays and Chinese on Thursdays. Cooper students will attend Chinese on Tuesdays and PE on Wednesdays.
Kind Regards
Mel

Edgerley Baby Photos

Dear Edgerley Parents,
There has been much interest in babies in our classroom this week. This has been supported by the children’s discussions around change as they have identified that people change over time as well. We would like to extend this interest by comparing photos of us when we were babies. If you have an electronic copy of a photo of your child as a baby can you please send us a copy at mbishop@pac.edu.au as we would like to print out a copy and use it in our class.
Thankyou
Mel, Rosalie and the Edgerley Boys

Staffing

From next week Miss Eleanor will change from doing the "late shift" each day to working in a relief capacity. Eleanor has recently completed her teaching degree and is keen to get some teaching experience wherever she can . We have really appreciated her dedication , enthusiasm and commitment as she has willingly slotted into different positions through the centre. (often at short notice !) We wish her well in her search for a permanent teaching position.
Ms Wendy Mackay (who most of you have met over the last term) will take on the position of working across all the rooms from 10am-6pm each day.

Next week Miss Jen from the Langley room will be taking holidays until May 23rd. Emily Finnie (who also manages the OSHC program at the Prep School) will be relieving for her.
