Dear Chapple Room Parents and Friends,
Welcome to the Blog! We been having a great time getting to know each other in Chapple Room. Our new little Chappies Seb Mac, Max, Christian, Harry and Ethan have all settled in well. Please introduce yourself to any new parents you see in the room and make them feel welcome.
This week we explored making our own finger paint. It was a great experiment and making the mix was just as much fun as using it. It was a bit lumpy, but it felt fantastic. Next week we will use gloop to explore our sensory awareness.
We have begun initial class discussions about sustainability- mostly the concept of reusing. When asked why we reuse boxes and recyclables, the children responded:
Asterios- So we don’t have to chuck things away.
Raphael- I throw my things in the bin at home.
Susannah- We reuse things for craft.
Christian- We use them so we can make things we like.
Raphael- We put our bin in the garden.
Asterios- Bins go to
the dump.Following this discussion, I have asked the children to explore their bin systems at home, so be prepared to talk trash! We will be having a visit from the monster trucks on Tuesday which will be great fun!
Have a lovely weekend.
Chapple Room Team
