Dear
Cooper and Mead families,
The
first week of the holidays we have been exploring different textures and
sensations by feeling and squishing jelly, snow and play dough.
We
made red and green jelly and put lots of little treasures in it for the
children to discover.
Joshua
– It feels like jelly. I found treasure! (Holding up a bell)
Olympia-
Ooohh its cold! I found a bauble.
Alec
– We are putting the red in the green one.
Tom –
It’s like dark red now.
James
W – it’s all squishy
Luca
– Wow, it’s so cold
Sebastian
– It’s jelly for touching not eating no!
To
play with snow, the children curiously watched the teachers add water to white
powder and excitedly watched it grow!
Olympia
– Oh it’s like magic
Knox - Look
the animals are skating
Archie
– Mine are hiding, ha ha where are they?
The
children have also been busy building with Knex and creating lots of
interesting structures.
Tom –
Look at Miss Sarah now! She doesn’t need legs, she can slide on the snow. And
you can fly.
To
finish the week the children wandered over to the ‘secret garden’ at the senior
school to eat their morning fruit, it was a beautiful and tranquil way to end the
week. We have also been enjoying singing and dancing to wonderful Christmas
Carols. Since we have fewer children in
the holidays, the Cooper and Mead rooms have spent all week together and have
been forming new friendships. We will continue to spend time together until
term resumes. Therefore in the morning could you please bring your child to the
Mead room.
Thankyou
Miss
Sarah, Miss Bowden, Mrs Nacca, Miss C and Ms Kerr.
