Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

This week has been full of excitement! We ventured through the big school to the rainbow playground and were able to experience the thrill of the Clipsal 500. The children displayed such happiness and joy as they watched the racing cars flash before their eyes.  We also jumped with delight as the four aero jets looped in the sky on top of us. It was very loud! We also spotted a helicopter whizzing in the sky.
Patrick: “I wasn’t scared at all”
Jaden: “Racing cars were fast”
Paige: “Rainbow in sky”
Lilliana: “We went to the rainbow playground”

As the children have displayed great interest with the racing cars, aero jets and helicopter will definitely be further exploring the array of different forms of transport.

Mrs Prest set up a sensory experience for the children which consisted of exploring shaving cream. It was interesting to see the different reactions when they manipulated the shaving cream with their hands.  The children were able to use their sense of inquiry while they used their touch and smell senses.

On Monday and Tuesday we had Chinese lesson, during these classes we continued to extend our knowledge in recognizing Chinese characters.

Unfortunately we did not have our P.E class on Friday however instead we took this opportunity to walk up to the rainbow playground and further our gross motor skills while discovering another outside environment. 

We hope you have a lovely weekend!

Mrs Prest, Miss Elodie and Mrs Nacca
