Cooper Room




Dear Cooper room families,


We have been exploring our senses this week. We used our fingers, hands and arms to see what the substance in the white tray felt and smelt like...
Gabby – It feels like soap, I’m washing my hands like in the bathroom, I am just pretending I went to the bathroom and have to wash them.
Jackson – It’s sticky, it sticks on my hands, look it’s sticking.
Harry L - Smell my hands.
Spencer – It’s cool, yeah it’s really really fluffy and its up my arm too. It’s sticky, I might need some more cos I’m running out.
Jack – It feels like sand, it feels like soft sand.
Harry P – It’s pink icy poles that melted and we have to eat them up. We have pink icy poles after school on a Thursday.
Zac - It’s not ticklish, it feels like snow, it smells like snow, it’s blue snow but is white, it’s just foam.

It was challenging to work out exactly what it was but Hudson’s daddy gave us a clue as he did use it in the morning to make his face all smooth. Any one guess what it was?

On Friday we had a very exciting tennis lesson with the big PAC boys from year 10! We played stuck in the mud to warm up, we were able to run away from the big boys because we can run really fast. Then we used tennis rackets and they threw balls for us to hit, we had fun interacting with the older boys and gave them a high five and hand shake at the end to say thank you.
