Langley Room





Dear Langley Family and Friends,
We have had a super busy and noisy week!! The children have extended on our unit of inquiry, My Family Album, continuing to have conversations surrounding the members of their families. They particularly love looking for and finding their family picture on the wall. The children have also had fun painting their family drawings which are now up on display. Here is what some of the children had to say as they were painting:

Bernie – Mummy brown. She got brown eyes. Daddy blue, he got blue eyes like Harry. Daddy got a beard. Mummy a girl.
Alexander – I gonna do green because Sebastian likes that.
Jack – I gonna do yellow. My Mummy loves red. Charlotte loves pink.
Clementine – I all pink.

We have had rock and roll stars in Langley this week. Children were singing and pretending to play guitars, so we decided to make some real guitars out of cardboard. We gave them a microphone stand and set up a stage to enhance their performances. Bob the Builder and Old MacDonald were very popular hits!      

It’s been very noisy this week too! We have had construction going on in our old car park, and we’ve heard bulldozers, diggers and trucks busy at work. On Thursday we decided to have a look for ourselves, but unfortunately all the diggers and trucks had finished work for the day!
We’ve also been hearing the cars racing around the track for the Clipsal. On Friday we went out into the big yard to watch the very loud planes do a spectacular air show right above us.

Have a great weekend. Best wishes,

Jess, Kerry, Nicole, Sarah and Emily
