Mead Room













Dear Parents,

This week in the Mead Room we have been focussing on our faces. Do we all look the same? How are we different? What makes us look like US? Our discussions have focussed firstly around our hair. We discovered we all have different hair, some children have long hair, some have spikey hair, some have blonde hair that goes to their eyes and others have curly hair which is very black. To provoke the children's thinking we have been reading books about hair, drawing hair and creating our own new hair styles in the Mead Hairdressing Salon. Business is booming and we have many children lining up each morning to have their hair brushed, washed and even coloured!
(Make sure you make a time to come in for a quick appointment as the rates are the cheapest in town!)

"My Mum paints her hair a bit at the shop." Seth
"My Mummy got curly hair, long curly hair." Oliver
"I got my hair cut at the hairdressers, can you see it's all short now." Tommi
"Jesse had really curly hair." Mrs Lock "Do you remember?"
"On our tummies, my daddy does. Because my daddy wants hair on his tummy." Henry
"My dad doesn't have any hair in the middle of his head. It all falled off, he went in the shower and his hair came off." Henry
"Do we really have hair in our nose. Yuck waht's that for?" Tommi
"Eyebrows that's more hair on our face. You have hair on your eyes too. My Mum puts makeup on her eyelashes." Molly
"That man has hair on his lips - under the holes in his nose. That's called a moustache." Hannah
"Hey, my dad shaves hair on his face in the morning. He cuts the hair away." Henry

Hairdressing Salon opens daily at 9am! Bookings essential.
