Mead Room





Dear Parents and Friends,
We have had such a busy week in the Mead Room, deepening our investigations about birds and their habitats.. The children are fascinated with ways we can observe birds in their homes and have become fascinated "bird watchers" with our home made binoculars. Jock brought in some special binoculars belonging to his great grandfather and we had lots of fun testing them out....
Jock: "Dey my gwampa's.."
Tom: "Dey so great"
Alec: "Can I have a turn?"
Jock: "Be careful with my gwampa's binoculars!"
James: "I going to the jungle"
We all tried a yummy homegrown rockmelon from Jock's vegie patch this week too. The children thought it was delicious!
Toby: "It's orange on da inside"
James S: "Dere's seeds!"
Harry M: "I love it"
Angus: "Can I have some more please?"
Harry M: "Me want more... bit slippery!"
We are really excited by the way our inquiry is moving along... Hoping to see lots of you at our Curriculum meeting next Thursday night.
Many Thanks,
Emma, Pip and Amelia
