In the classrooms

Langley


This week in the Langley Room we have enjoyed making cards and writing messages of love to our families. We have been practising our cutting and wrapping skills and putting presents under the Christmas tree. We have been trying to keep cool by playing with our sparkly, glittered water using corks for boats and watching them float as well as playing under the hose. And we have been measuring ourselves on the outside wall to see how tall we are.

Next Thursday 20/12/12 we will be having a water fun day. Please dress your children in their bathers and pack a towel and non-uniform clothes (casual day) in their bags.

We would like to say a big thank you to Miss Ange, who has now finished in the Langley Room, for her help over the last 8 weeks. We wish her all the best and hope to see her back here soon.

Thanks,

Kerry, Nicole, Ange and Amelia

Dear Cooper and Mead families,

What a hot start to the Christmas holidays and a rainy end! We have been trying to keep cool in the classrooms and town square this week. We took a short walk to the car park where we saw Bella. Who is Bella? Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s William’s prestige car! William was driven to school in this old classic car by his dad, who let all the children have a look at the inside and out. We were very impressed by how it looked and can’t wait to see photos of what it looked like five years ago before they spent lots of time doing it up.

As we do not have Show and Tell during the holidays, we had a puppet show instead. The children have been watching puppet shows created by the teachers every afternoon and have had the opportunity to play along themselves throughout the day. We have had lots of exciting shows, and some very funny ones when Miss Bowden got gobbled up by a koala, crocodile and frog!

Don’t forget on Thursday 20th December we are having our Wet Water Day, so please bring your child with bathers under their clothes, or in their bags. We are going to be getting very wet so a towel may be handy. Children are welcome to come in non PAC clothing if they wish to for the last day of term.

Miss Bowden, Miss C, Miss Bethany and Miss Gray




Edgerley and Chapple

We have had a fun, relaxed and HOT first week of the holidays! We have been getting into the festive spirit and preparing for the season! The children have been very interested in making Christmas cards for their families, friends and of course the jolly man in red! An aspect of this they have been especially enjoying is posting their letters in the classroom post box, collecting them and popping them in their lockers to go home!

Please remember that next Thursday we will be having a water play day, so please dress your children in appropriate "beach" attire with a spare change of casual clothes in their bag.

If you are leaving us for the year we wish you a wonderful festive season filled with love, happiness and fun! For those that will return for the last week of holidays, we will see you next week!!!

Warm wishes from Mrs Shakespear, Mrs Rocca and Mrs Nacca
