As part of our unit of inquiry, Home Sweet Home, Miss Freer
has been reading the Faraway Tree with the Chapple Room children. It’s been
such a fun exploration so far, and a wonderful chance for the children to
develop their listening and comprehension skills. Here are the children’s
thoughts so far.
‘They went to the beanstalk.’ Seth
‘It was the Faraway Tree and there was a beanstalk in it.
One is called Jack.’ Charlie
‘It’s all about Connie not believing the Faraway Tree.’
Tommi
‘And she went down the slippery slide instead of using a
pillow so it wore her dress out.’ Jack
‘Some people live in the trunk.’ Tommi
‘Dame Washalot washes her things and water goes down the
Faraway Tree and soapy water goes on her dress.’ Jack
‘I know who else lives in the trunk- the Angry Pixie. She
was the one who threw ink.’ Tommi
‘Jack lives in the beanstalk and that’s how you get to marble
world.’ Charlie
‘I think it’s going to be a land of animals.’ Zach H
‘The land of Billy Goats Gruff.’ Ryan
‘I’d like it to turn into the land of lego with cars lego.’
Zach F
‘I think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ Oliver
Over the coming weeks, we will be transforming the classroom
into our own Faraway Tree. It should be great fun!
Chapple Room Team
As part of our term's unit could all families please send in a photo of your house number asap. If email is easier, please send it to amarcus@staff.pac.edu.au. Shortly, we will be sending home the surveys for Father's Day and it would be great to have these back as soon as possible also. We are still collecting glass jars if anyone has some to spare at home.
Have a wonderful weekend!
