Dear Families,
This week has been a busy one. We have spent a lot of time getting ready for sports day next week. We have been talking about what teams
we are in, the name, colour and emblem. We have also been doing lots of
practise for the big day during PE with Mr. Weatherald. There are two main
themes of interest in the Chapple classroom at moment, The Ninja Turtles and
Pamela Allen. The children have been building houses for The Ninja Turtles with
the little wooden blocks. The buildings have been very intricate with many
different levels, shapes and materials. It has also been a theme of the
children's play outside and in. They have been making Ninja Turtles from the
K-nex as well, using their creativity and imagination to create the characters
and play scenarios.
Pamela Allen continues to be a focus in our classroom. We have
read all the Pamela Allen books in our classroom and we are hoping to share any
Pamela Allen books you might have at home. If you could please have a hunt and
bring in your Pamela Allen book (named) for us to share we would really
appreciate it. We are so desperate for a new Mr. McGee story that we have begun
to write our own , "Mr. McGee goes to school". The
children have also thought that perhaps we could write to Pamela Allen and ask
her to write more books. As a group we discussed the other things we could
write to her;
"We have to write our names" Sebastian V
"Make new books of Pamela Allen" James S
"Pamela Allen can you come to kindy?" William
"Can we have another book of your writing and we can read
it?" Andre
"Pamela Allen could write more books and then we could write
our names" Leroy
"We could ask her is she could make more Pamela Allen Mr.
McGee" Marcus
"She hasn't written a book I wouldn't like to watch. She
could make a movie" William
We have a postal address from Penguin publishing and we will send
her our letters, so fingers crossed for a reply after the holidays.
Have a lovely week end.
Juliana & Pamela
