Angwin

Dear Angwin families and friends,

This week we celebrated Sujay's 5th birthday with cupcakes and some chocolates to take home.
We wished him the best especially for his new adventures as a Reception boy.

Anthony's gardening with his dad Dom sparked new interest in the classroom as the children shared about their gardens at home.
This led us to visit the Boarders' garden to find which plants grow (or die) at this time of the year.
The children documented their findings by taking photos of plants and writing their names. We also took some samples to continue our research.
Next week we will get our raised bed gardens ready and plant some new season vegetables. We are also collecting some succulents so if you have some cuttings please bring them for us.

The children have been so interested in Star Wars and have been sharing their ideas through art, craft and construction. Of course the Death Star is up there on their list.

Our current favourite game is Tactilo, a game that allows our sense of touch and brain together to find matching pieces just by touching them. Apparently looking is cheating so you can't look!

We have been chatting about our holidays too. If you bring some photos of your holidays or make a poster with it, we would love to display them in the classroom as well.

Please take note of the following days and activities

Monday- Wet and Wild Water Day. Please bring bathers, towels and spare clothes.
Tuesday: DANCIFY...all you need are your dancing feet and groovy bodies
Wednesday: Gardening
Thursday: Classroom Cinema....we can smell the popcorn already
Friday:   BBQ galore 

Have a nice weekend 

Coney and Faye
