Cooper Room




This week in Cooper the children have continued with their music shows and pretend play. Harry L. found that he could play the blocks like drums and soon several children joined him in building drum kits and tapping some beats. The children sang and played favourites like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Ram Sam Sam while others danced along. Outside we turned metal and plastic containers upside down and used chopsticks for drum sticks. The children experimented with the different sounds they could make and played along to a Peter Combe CD. “It’s a drumming show!” announced Oliver as he showed us a drum roll.
Also this week, we have been busy preparing our Father’s Day pictures and presents ready for the Big Boys Breakfast. So far we have only had a very small amount of Dads’ surveys returned for this and would very much appreciate it if the Cooper dads could fill them out and return them a.s.a.p. so that they can be displayed at our special breakfast.
Kind regards,
Ali and Coral
