Dear Langley families and friends,
This week, following on from creating our spider webs, we have
been 'spinning' spider webs as well. We used a salad spinner to spin blobs of
paint onto paper. The children enjoyed having a try at turning the handle, but
they loved seeing the end result even more! We have also been exploring animals
that live on a farm at the farm barn table and have been building houses for
the 3 little pigs with play dough and other materials.
On Wednesday the Langley children participated in National
Simultaneous Storytime. The annual event involves libraries, schools and
centres all reading the same book and aims to encourage more young Australians
to read and enjoy books. This year's book was 'Too Many Elephants in This
House' written by Ursula Dubosarsky. Thanks to Mr Steer's drama class, we
didn't just read the book, the children got to watch a special performance of
it. The children absolutely loved watching the show; here is what a couple had
to say after:
Denver – some elephants dey (they) were hiding at
da (the) box. We did 'come out elephants' like that. Dey (they) hold hands and
sit down.
Andrew – elephants make noise.
To extend on our Unit of Inquiry, Home Sweet Home, could you please send in a
photo of your house for children to share and discuss. Thank you.
Have a great weekend
Sarah, Emily, Kerry and Renee
