Mead


 
 
Dear Mead Room families,
We have been enjoying many rich conversations relating to this terms unit of inquiry. We discovered that homes have many purposes –
Bernie – A home can keep us safe.
Scarlett – its for sleeping
Harrison R – for playing

We found that homes are made of different materials –
Sterling – my home is made of metal, bricks, plastic and wood

We noticed that Sterling’s home has a number on the front –
Lachlan – That’s so we know what house we’re going to
Loukas – The letters go in there
 
The children are experimenting with different materials to construct homes and this week we have had some amazing experiences with box construction and blocks.  We are also discussing animal homes, and whilst they are made of different materials (and perhaps don’t have a number on the front) their uses are very similar to ours!

Thankyou and have a terrific weekend,
Melissa and Cristina
