Cooper Room

Dear Cooper families and friends,

The second week of the school holidays saw the Cooper children engage in arts and crafts week, starting with clay play on Monday. The children were given a piece of clay each and asked to "play, feel, roll and squeeze" which they did with great delight and sheer enthusiasm.

Henry - It's slippery.

Kristian - I am making a snake.

Harry L - look, pizza!

Hugo - Can I add water?

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday saw the children experimenting with corn flour and water to make gloop. As the children squelched their hands through it they described how it felt.

Spencer - it's sticky milk.

Oliver - My hands get stuck, it's all wet.

Liam - It's gluey.

Harry A - It's all slimy!

The Cooper children also engaged in foam letter printing, gel filled sensory bags and snow play that they made by adding water to snow powder granules. It was absolutely incredible to watch it grow from a simple powder into 'real fluffy snow!' It was a messy week yet wonderfully fun filled and icky sticky!

For the final week of the holidays don't forget these important dates-

Thursday 18th July - The fire engine will be here to visit the three year olds.

Friday 19th July - Whole centre dress up ,children may wear a costume or home clothes of their choice. Please not no superheroes in accordance with centre polices.
