Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

We cannot believe how quickly the term is already flying by! It is fantastic to see that the children are becoming such confident and independent involved learners. They are becoming strong in their social and emotional wellbeing and are able to share humor, happiness and satisfaction.

The children have partaken in group times where we have explored a variety of sounds. We are furthering our soundscape skills and created our own music by each having musical instruments and making wind, lighting and thunder noises through story telling.

Patrick, Liliana and Samuel were very excited to find that the chicken had laid 3 eggs; they all carried the eggs carefully to Mr Charlwood. We have also been discussing the importance of caring for our chickens!

We have been greeting each other in our home languages, this week we have said good morning to each other in Polish and Chinese.

On Monday and Tuesday we had Chinese lesson, during these classes we extended on our knowledge in recognizing Chinese characters.

Friday we had our P.E class in the prep school gym, we enjoyed this was a great way to further our movement and co-ordination skills as well as our gross motor skills.

We hope you have a lovely weekend!
Mrs Prest, Miss Elodie and Mrs Nacca
