What a whirlwind of a week we have had
in the Mead Room.
This week we have been making
Gingerbread Men – Numeracy, Literacy and Science skills in abundance!! We followed a recipe and instructions,
measuring out, weighing, stirring and mixing.
The children were able to explore and observe the changing state of
materials and marvel as the bowl of unrelated ingredients came together to form
a sticky then smooth and squishy ball of dough! The cooking process added another change
altogether!
On Tuesday afternoon the children
explored light and shadow. They observed
their shadows in the outdoor environment, moving their bodies to experiment
where the best shadows could be created.
Our Christmas inquiry for Show and Share
is coming to a close and has revealed beautiful family traditions, fun times
and the magic of this special time of year.
Scarlet
– My Daddy put the star
up on the Christmas tree. My Mummy and Daddy put some fairies up to make it
beautiful, they change colours. Nanna comes to my home, Mummy’s mum.
Lucas
– I get very excited
when I put decorations on the Christmas tree, because Christmas is my favourite
day! We have Christmas breakfast, not a normal breakfast.
Spencer
– The men came and the
star pointed the way. I went to
Canada. My Dad and Mum went skiing and
we meet at the bottom and we throw snowballs.
I want to go back again.
We hope you all enjoyed the Nativity
performance!
Happy Birthday to Benjamin Gavin – you
are now 4!
Happy weekend fun to you all!
