After Mrs Schmidt couldn’t bend over to tie Seb’s shoe
lace up, she explained that her belly was now too big and children would need
to put their foot on her knee from now on. This lead to a discussion about the
size of her belly and the baby. She explained that it is now 28cm long, and
showed the class how big that is using a ruler. Susannah put up her hand to
urgently share something, which created a very interesting class discussion.
Harry has a cot that he doesn’t use anymore and your baby
could sleep in that. Susannah
Fantastic! I don’t have a cot yet. I am going to need to
buy a lot of things for this baby. What else will I need to buy? Mrs Schmidt
You need baby toys too. I got 10. You have them for your
baby. Markis
You need some baby bags to put the dirty nappies in ‘cause
the bin is too far away. Jacob
I have a pram at my house. You need one to walk the baby.
You can have mine. Bayley
If your car can’t carry the bed, my Dad can come and pick
it up in his Mitsubishi Triton. Asterios
It will need a storybook for bedtime. Eden
You need a hole in the pram and you need a holder on the
pram so it can hold the book while it reads it. James W
You need a baby computer and lots of toys. I have three
prams. You can have one of mine from the old house. Abhi
It needs a baby toilet for weeing and pooing. Bayley
No, a baby does poos in a nappy. Samuel
You need a potty for your baby to poo in! Seb M
Harry has a change table you can have for your baby. He
doesn’t use that anymore either. Susannah
What it needs is a baby bag and it goes into the seat and
when you get into the car, you drive it, not the baby. The bag goes into it. Christian
When your baby turns three I’m going to give him a Thomas
computer. Asterios
They suggested I write a list of the all the things to
remember what I should buy for the baby. It was lovely to hear them reminisce
about their childhood and apply this knowledge to their teacher. I particularly
liked Christian’s advice that I drive the car, not the baby!
In Week 7, we will host a Show and Share morning. Parents
are invited to stay after drop off for a quick look through their child’s
portfolio and their work samples throughout the room. We are asking each child
to bring a plate of their favourite party food to share and explain how the
final product made its journey from the paddock to the plate. I will send home
an invitation shortly. Please set aside some time on Thursday, 13.6.13 from
8:30-9:30 for this. If you can’t make it, please don’t panic. You are always
welcome to view your child’s work at anytime and we will plan for more of these
sessions throughout the year.
Thanks,
Chapple Room Team
