Last week was yet another week of holiday fun for the Cooper room children.
Monday saw the children turn into tennis champions as they hit many many tennis balls around the gym. We set up tennis nets and the children practiced backhand and volleys with pure enthusiasm and skill. What fantastic hand/eye co-ordination was observed by the educators. Perhaps Wimbledon is calling some of our future tennis champions!
On Tuesday it was Music day and what a terrifc band the Cooper and Mead children made with their instruments. They bought in guitars, recorders, drums and xylophones and walked around the Early Learning Centre, playing beautiful tunes, entertaining all children and staff.
On baking day (Wednesday), the Junior Masterchef Cooper room children participated in making gingerbread men. Mixing, pouring, kneading, rolling and shape making were some of the processes they engaged in to produce yummy, scrummy gingerbread men. As they went into the oven to bake, we kept checking on them- to make sure none of them escaped to sing "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me I'm a gingerbread man", lucky for us we didn't need to chase any....
On Friday, it was bike bonanza day and bicycles, tricycles and scooters were ridden around our ELC bike track. With excitement and great balance, the Cooper room children had races and followed road safety rules, ensuring themselves and their friends stayed safe.
What a fun filled week.
