Dear Chapple Families
It has been great to see how the children have settled in to
their new routines and expectations. We have encouraged their independence and
they have begun to step up.
We have put up some of the work they have done on the walls,
so you can get a flavour of what we have been doing. We have looked to follow
on from the children’s questions and interests in an emerging curriculum within
our IB framework. The children are encouraged to take part in making their
displays, so consequently the cutting and sticking and photography skills may
not be perfect.
One of the areas we looked at this week was Our Natural
World and we went in search of how we know it had rained and this led us on to
making tracks.
Please email the Chapple Room mcharlwood@staff.pac.edu.au if
the children at any time make connections with their learning at home. It is
great to hear examples. This includes any items of interest that we can follow
up at school from home.
Monday is Chinese New Year and the children are welcome to
come dressed in Red- the lucky colour, or Chinese patterns or clothes as
we will be having a Chinese Lion dance in the morning.
