Wilkins

Dear Wilkins families and friends,
What a delightful week we have had. We are very pleased the sun has been shining the last week as we have been able to get out for a play!

This week we have spoken about spring and how seasons change. We have also spoken about how flowers will start to flourish! During this experience we took the Wilkins friends up to the Prep School to observe the blossoms on the tree! We are looking forward to watching the flowers in the ELC grow through out spring.
Stirling – “The flowers grow!”
Samuel T ­– “Leaves!”
James – “Trees grow into a big one!”

To extend on our Unit of Inquiry “Marvellous Machines” we have been interested in cars and trucks. We have been fascinated by how they move, roll and work. We used plastic cars to create pieces of artwork. We dipped the wheels into some paint and then rolled them on to paper to see the outcome!
If you also have any spare cardboard boxes or cylinders could you please bring them in for craft in the room. Thank you.

We hope you all enjoy your warm weekend, thanks for another fabulous week in the room!
Love Mrs Karla, Mrs Nicole and Miss Ellen xxx
