Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
Despite suffering from lots of sniffles and snuffles, it's been a wonderful week in Chapple Room. As part of our inquiry into homes, Charlie's mother came in on Wednesday morning to talk about her fundraising efforts for homeless people. The concept of homelessness has been one that the class keeps revisiting. Shecky and some of her colleagues have knitted squares to make two blankets for those in need. The children helped lay them out, and have since been inspired to work on their own woollen projects, of Tomboys and Pom Poms. Thank you again to Shecky for sharing with us.
From our conversation about what happened on Wednesday:
'We were making a blanket with Charlie and we were making eight lines.' Owen
'You can still see the knitting cause we're doing some knitting there.' Charlie
'We're making a blanket cause if nobody has a house.' Jesse
'We were doing the knitting of the blanket. She just took it home.'Owen
'It's at work. Hers going to stich it all together so it won't crack and fly away in the wind.' Charlie
'Like for a poor person.' Ryan
'First they need a bed.' Oliver
'To get money, some people don't have any home because they don't have any money and to get money you need to work.' Owen
'They might not love each other anymore. Or they might not be warm enough.' Charlie
We will continue to discuss homes, homelessness and the homes of animals throughout the coming weeks.
Next week we have our excursion to the Patch Theatre for A Lion in the Night and several birthdays. It should be a great week! Have a lovely weekend.
Thank you,
Chapple Room Team
