Langley Room





Dear Langley Family and Friends,
This week we have been investigating blowing bubbles using some giant bubble wands that we have had in the classroom. The children have excitedly chased the bubbles around the yard trying to pop them and observed them floating up into the sky and over the roof. Some of the bubbles even stuck to the ground and we were able to jump on them!

The children were keen to have a go at blowing the bubbles for themselves but we soon discovered this is a very tricky skill to practice and perfect without spitting everywhere! In response to the children’s interest we tried to make our own bubble mix using cell-mix, detergent, glycerin and water. To our delight, we were able to produce some bubbles but we look forward to continuing to tweak and perfect our bubble mix next week!

Best wishes
Jess, Kerry, Amelia and Nicole
