Langley Room





Wow what another busy week we have had in the Langley room! Inspired by the children’s bubble blowing in the water trough we have been creating bubble paintings this week. We mixed food colouring with detergent and water to create our masterpieces – it was a bit tricky because we had to remember to blow the bubbles and not suck!

We have also enjoyed role playing in our puppet theatre retelling familiar stories and songs and making up some of our own story lines. We have had a focus on developing our fine motor skills in our program this week, threading with beads and letters and wrapping wool around pine cones. Outside we have been exploring patterns in nature by examining different natural resources and using dried agapanthus flowers to create easel paintings. We look forward to examining other patterns in nature next week!

Best wishes,

Jess, Kerry, Nicole and Emily
