Mead


Dear Mead Families
Week one of term three holidays was filled with lots of exciting experiences, all the Mead children had a fabulous time playing and exploring in the classroom. The tools in the construction site were a huge hit as most of the children had a role to play while the construction site was in progress. The children also enjoyed experiencing the pit full of gooey slime, collecting the treasure from its bottom then hiding the treasure again for someone else to find.    

During our morning meetings we read a book called “The Tiny Seed” by Eric Carle, this lead to an amazing conversation about the different seasons especially the season of spring.

Lachlan- the flowers grow on the trees.

Christian- grass grows.

Finn- the flowers grow and then the sun helps it grow.

Lily- you can pull the apples off the tree.

Doane- water makes the grass grow

Annabel- the flowers grow in spring and the leaves are on the trees.

William- big trees grow.

Steven- water comes down from cloud to flower.

To follow on form our morning meeting conversation we provided a range of art experiences for the children to explore such as, printing blossom trees using the bottom of a soft drink bottle and juicy red apples to hang in the Mead room tree.

Thankyou to all the Mead children for a fantastic week.

From Mrs Neville and Miss Adele
