Dear families,

Welcome back for Term 2! We have been very busy exploring our new unit of inquiry, Home Sweet Home this week. We are looking at animal environments and what makes a home. We have been sharing fiction and nonfiction texts about animal homes, exploring the underwater environment in the sand trough, role playing with jungle animals and talking about all the different types of animals we know and here they might live.
We have also been exploring patterning at the light table and through our creation of painted butterflies. We have been developing our cutting skills using scissors with play dough and cooking up a storm in the home corner. The children have also been preparing for our Princesses Tea Party celebrations next Thursday and are looking forward to sharing this special morning.
Stay dry and warm this weekend!

Nicole, Karla and Jess
