Langley Room



It's been all about our bodies this week! What's on the outside of us and what is inside of us. We have had a lot of fun drawing around our bodies which has prompted many inquiries into different types of bodies, how they work and why we need certain things like a heart and our teeth! This led to many interesting conversations with the children throughout the week and the painting of their own skeletons using a variety of art materials.

We have had an array of imaginary play in our Flower shop this week, with children setting up shop and role playing with each other. This has led to a lot of expressive language amongst the children through many different social interactions. We were able to play with both real and pretend flowers and to compare their differences.J
Just a reminder to ensure all children are arriving in the Langley room by 9:15am. This allows for a smooth transition between settling, morning meeting and then fruit.

Children's hats can now be left at the ELC. We seem to have a 'Hat Monster' who has gobbled up a few hats . To prevent further hat losses, we will keep them in a basket in the Langley Room.

Thank you for your cooperation and have a lovely weekend!
