Dear Chapple Families,
This week started off with learning about ANZAC Day and having
conversations about what the holiday means to us. We watched a special video
which was about a Dawn Service in Canberra and watched the soldier play the
Last Post on his bugle. We had discussions about Poppies and why we wear them
on ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. We extended on this by making our
own Poppy Field. It's displayed out the front of the Chapple
Room, and we loved making it!
We made Anzac biscuits that were delicious. The children were
hands on and enjoyed making them. We also took the children for a memorial walk
to the school museum and got to witness all the archived memorabilia.
With the holidays coming to an end, we have had a great time and
have recharged our batteries, with having lots of outside time and being
able to choose our special activities from the store room ourselves. We have
loved playing with the cloud dough and the Dinoland in Edgerley Room
and having movie days with yummy popcorn!
It’s been a great holiday program and we look forward to starting
Term 2 off energized and ready!
Thanks,
Miss C, Miss Veltmeyer, Miss Rachel and Miss Renee
