Cooper Room




Dear Parents,
It has been a lovely week in the Cooper Room settling into our new routines and meeting new families and friends. As a new group we have been learning how to be more independent unpacking our own bags, putting away drink bottles and looking after their belongings. The children have loved exploring the room and discovering new play spaces such as our “Noisy Table.”
“That a big loud  noise!” said Archie hitting the pans with his wooden stick
“Hey you can shake these. Shakey, shakey!” said Tommie
“Too loud!” said Harry putting his hands over his ears at a nearby table.
“Dese click, look click, click, click,” said Knox tapping the castinets.
During story time the children have loved sharing stories about counting. A favourite has been “Five in the bed!’ We have even been able to roll play the story on the couch with the Cooper Room bears. This will be an activity we will continue to explore next week and during our Chinese session on Thursday.
It has been a wonderful week getting to know all the children and we look forward to sharing the next 12 months with them.
Kind regards
Susan and Coral
