Langley



Dear Langley families and friends,
 
This week children have been very interested in spider webs. We've read lots of spider related stories and watched videos of different spiders spinning their webs. We've also created our own spider webs, by drizzling glue onto cardboard and sprinkling it with glitter. Children particularly loved seeing how their web had turned out once the excess glitter was shaken off. To complete these creations, children glued a little spider somewhere on their web. They look really effective!     
 
On Wednesday we went on a big adventure up to the Prep school for our nature walk. On our walk, we just so happened to see a huge spider web and the children were amazed! Once we reached the oval, we collected lots of natural materials; leaves, sticks, twigs and feathers which we will use to create a beautiful natural canvas masterpiece.
 
Have a great weekend,
Sarah, Emily, Kerry and Renee
