Chapple


Dear Chapple families
 
As we battled the traffic chaos this week, we decided to embrace the CLIPSAL experience and went up to the Prep School to see and hear the sights and sounds of the track. Through the fence we couldn’t see too many cars, but we could see lots of other things. We went back to the classroom and made a list, resulting in a whole class project of building the Chapple Class Clipsal Track.

Teacher: What do we need?

Annie: Cars!

Christian: Sticky tape to make the track.

Doane: People making the track.

Lily: A road.

Harry: A grandstand, a building that you watch from.

Stephen: A finish line.

Harrison T: Small squares, black and white.

Lachlan: A screen to watch them coming.

The excitement from the Chapple room drowned out the V8’s as construction commenced.

We have also started serving ourselves at lunchtime, using the new trays. This has been a great success with the children having great choice of what they want.

We have also been practising our social skills and role playing how we ask for things, using our words and letting people know when we don’t like something.
