Langley Room





Dear Langley family and friends,

This week we farewelled our big three year olds (and Miss Amelia!) to the Mead room. We wish them all the best for the next part of their educational journey. We have also welcomed lots of new friends into the Langley room and are looking forward to getting to know them and their families. We have been settling into our routines and engaging in lots of small group interactions and experiences - cooking in the home corner, sharing and negotiating with play dough, building train tracks and towers in the outside environment.

Earlier this week Miss Amelia purchased some exotic fruits for the children to try. She purchased some dragon fruit, lychees, pomegranate, paw paw and rambutans.
First we tried the dragon fruit.
“A funny looking onion,” said Thomas M
“A spider,” said Knox
Next we tasted the paw paw
“A star,” said Nathan
“Blueberries,” said Harry H pointing to the red fruits in the middle of the paw paw.
The children found tasting the fruits interesting and they were all willing to give them a try.

To support our investigations into our unit of inquiry, My Family Album, could we ask that all children please bring in a family photo to share with the class. Can anyone who hasn’t yet brought back their portfolio please do so as soon as possible. Next week, we look forward to welcoming Miss Sarah into the Langley room, please introduce yourself when you see her.

Best wishes,

Jess, Kerry, Nicole, Ange and Emma
