Chapple

Week 3 has been outstanding. It was lovely to hear a visitor come in and observe the Chapple children during outside play and comment how wonderfully independent and social these children have become. We looked around and watched them in their own world. Two even took part in an impromptu Q&A session during a school tour. As an  Early Years Educators, our aspiration is to be the “Guardian at the gate.”  We are nearly there.

In class they have been really engaged in patterning and shape and becoming maths problem solvers.

We had a visit to a Pre School assembly on Thursday as part of our transition. One of the Reception teachers came up to us afterwards and said, “Wow! Weren’t they great, we are looking forward to them.” Next Wednesday afternoon we go to see our Buddies’ assembly.

Chinatown was again another example of how the children have developed. They were independent and such a credit to themselves and you, as they toured the market. It was great to see them so engaged in their learning and environment. Thanks for all the parents who came or offered to come. Without such kind help, we would not be able to leave the Centre.
