Dear
Parents and Friends of Cooper Room,
We
have had a wonderful week in the Cooper Room observing our silkworms. We have
one who is outgrowing them all ! A super-sized silkworm which is white with
black stripes.
“Yeah
no touch, cos’ dey eat your fingers!” Daniel
“The
big ones have stripes,” Sze-Yong
“Dats
the Mummy. You see there's the babies tired cos’ they have no stripes,” Daniel
“The
Daddy might be having a sleep in the leaves, “ Archie
“The
big one is eating leaves,” Amanda
“They
are called Thailand leaves!” Archie
“I
can smell the Mummy one. They eat the leaves and to sleep in. That’s how they
get big” Jack
“How
do they move? I think they use all those legs cos’ they got lots and lots of
legs!” Chase
We
have also been talking about our favourite animals during show and tell. It is
always beautiful to listen to children describe the features of the animals and
explain why they love them. We love elephants because they can splash and blow
water, we like lions cos’ they have ears that hide in all their hair, we like
giraffes because they have really long necks and even baboons because they can
open the doors of cars and eat your fruit! We are a walking animal encyclopedia
in the Cooper Room.
Another
area of investigation this week has been our threading table. The children are
loving the challenge of threading beads onto pipe cleaners. It has taken deep
concentration but we have mastered it and created some gorgeous bangles and
charms. The persistence the children have shown at this tasks has been amazing!
They certainly have been working very hard!
Sadly
we have also discovered Ode our class bear is missing! If you have seen our
sweet Ode please return him to his friends!
Kind
regards
Susan
and Coral
