Mead


Dear Mead Room families,
This week we have been looking at books about Anzac Day and discovered that whilst it is the anniversary of Australian and New Zealand soldiers arriving in Gallipoli, it is also a day for remembering how lucky we are to live in a country like Australia, and we remember the brave men and women who have served and defended our country. 

On Friday we made Anzac biscuits  and found out that the biscuits they ate in Gallipoli were a little bit different from the ones we make today!  They were so hard people used to write messages on them and even made them into Christmas cards!  Ours were much nicer!

We welcome new friends, William and Maxime and their families.

We have explored colour and the creation of new colours whilst making playdough.

Kartik – Blue and Red…. We made purple!

Zoe – We squashed them together

We have had sick animals tended by amazing medical practitioners

Lola – we’re doctors for animals and this is the hospital.

Lucy – I was checking their hearts

We have soaked up some Autumn sunshine and tried our hand at new ball skills in PE.

Have a lovely weekend.

From Mrs Prest and Miss Gilbert
