Langley Room




This week the Langley class has been going for walks up to the Junior Primary school to play on the adventure playground. We practiced our climbing skills through participating in a range of physical activities whilst there. The children were curious and enthusiastic about discovering this new environment.
We had a special visit from the South Australian Police Department on Tuesday. They brought along one of their police cars and talked to us about the jobs of a police officer. Jane and John the police officers told us about all the other types of vehicles that the Police Force use. They also showed us pictures of the specially trained animals that they work with too. We learnt that if there is an emergency we need to call 000 and talked about what type of situations would be an emergency. Then Jane and John turned on the lights and sirens of the patrol car and we were all able to get inside and have a look.
On Thursday we made Vietnamese cold rolls. We all went out into the big yard to the herb garden and picked some mint. It smelt very sweet, some of us even tasted it. “It’s sweet,” said Harry J Hall.
We then prepared the cold rolls using lots of vegetables, our mint, different ingredients we hadn’t seen before, such as mung bean noodles and big flat round rice paper noodles which we had to soak to get them soft. We placed all the ingredients onto the round rice paper with a little kejap manis soy sauce and wrapped them up. Then they were ready for us to try.
Mmmmmmm they were delicious.

Have a good weekend
