Angwin


What a wonderful week we have had in Angwin this week. We have particularly enjoyed our new outdoor kitchen under the tree in the outdoor sandpit.
“This is a restaurant for at night time, it’s a sea food restaurant” said Allegra

“You eat crabs and fishes and squids!” said Sujay
“It’s $100 dollars” added Scarlett

“I will write the menu, its mashed potato” said Anthony
“You can have our soup, our crabs, our chicken” said Sujay

“And we only close at 1.00 in the morning” explained Allegra
“And we’ll have chocolate soup for dessert!” said Scarlett

We have also developed an interest in each other’s appearance and what that might mean. Some children proposed that children who had the same hair colour and eye colour might come from the same family. Others thought perhaps you looked the way you did because of where you were born.
“I was born in Malaysia” said Harvey. We will investigate to see if everyone from Malaysia looks a bit like Harvey to test our theory. We have begun to photograph our eyes, hair and hands to allow us to further compare. As we have observed so many differences this week, next week we will be thinking about similarities. Can you think of how our eyes might all be the same?

We finally finished our fire engine this week and it’s very lucky that we did as a bush fire has taken over in our block corner! Come in and see our brave fire fighters at work.
Have a lovely weekend
