Dear
Chapple and Edgerley families and friends,
Our
Holiday program kicked off with lots of exciting experiences. Our sensory table
filled up with various herbs and spices tickling the senses as we run our
fingers through them, make our own spice recipes and just explore various
scents and textures. Parsley, mint and rosemary have been the favourite so far
but you just should see how the children crinkle their noses at the smell of
curry herb!
We
have also had a go at building our own scarecrow and we have decided that he
will be a project we will keep on working on. So far he's got a head, a pair of
eyes, a shirt, a full tummy and a pair of cool pants . We are yet to finish him
and of course, give him a name!
Sorting
buttons in colours, sizes and textures has been a fun experience too. It helped
us concentrate longer, work as a team, take on individual jobs and learn
various colour shades and tints!
We
have built a cubby too and we will try and extend it with various rooms
including a garage. We have discussed how we can use the space and lots
of clever ideas came out !
"We
can listen to stories in there"! Lily said !
"I'd
like to take a nap in it. Maybe for an hour!" Christian added.
"Children
can hide in there if they want to!" Marcus offered .
"Lots
of playing in and out!" Markis reiterated.
"But
we have to be careful cause it's fragile!" Angus explained.
"Yep!
Cause it's only made out of paper!" Seb agreed .
Our
afternoon adventure walk around the campus has been a favourite. We get to do
ball games in the gym, races on the oval and play in the rainbow playground. Collecting berries and cooking them with sand is definitely a hit! We got to
talk to Police Officers John and Jane too ,they talked to us about what
policemen and women do and of course we got to sit in the car, talk on the
phone and check out all the buttons and switches inside it. Cool indeed!
Please save these dates for something special.
16th Tuesday is Wacky Hair Day! You’re welcome to send
your child with the wackiest hair do of all using cool hair styles with gel,
hair glitter etc. We will have a great time doing plaits, wearing wigs and much
more.
17th Wednesday. It’s Teddy Bears Picnic! We will take our
lovely teddies for a walk and morning tea picnic.
We will also do some cooking, dress ups and lots more fun
activities in store.
Cheers
Chapple and Edgerley Teams
