Dear Cooper and Mead families,
Wow!! What a hot way to end the year!!
With lots of water play to help keep us cool, the children have had fun jumping, splashing and throwing water all over each other. Needless to say, they had the most fun getting the teachers wet. Poor Miss Bowden got soaked!
On Ice World Wednesday, children experimented with frozen ice cubes and water to see how ice changes and melts over time. They began by feeling the frozen ice and noticed how cold it was.
Sebastian - Brr, it too cold... feel! (then puts his cold hands on Miss Bowdens leg)
Angus - Yeah its well cold!
Zander - It's cos it comes from the fridge you know
After touching the cold ice the children worked out that it would melt quicker in the sun to get the hidden treats out. The children watched it melt quickly in the sun and could finally reach the sea animals, shells and glitter that had been frozen inside. Lastly the children tried coloured ice, a yummy treat on a very hot day.
To finish the week, we celebrated all things Christmas by making cookies shaped like gingerbread men. Children loved getting involved with everyone getting a turn to put something into the bowl before the noisy beater turned all the ingredients into a dough. But of course the best part was eating the cookies! On our last day for the year, the ELC was transformed into Santa's Workshop with our elves in the ELC . Children dressed up made elf hats which they wore to our mini parade and carol singing in the Chapple room.
We thank all the friends and families of the three year old classes for all your beautiful Christmas words and gifts. We look forward to seeing you next year.
We wish you all a very Merry Chirstmas and Happy New Year!
Love Miss Sarah, Miss Bowden, Mrs Nacca and Miss C.
