Wilkins

Hello Wilkins Families,

What a big week we have had! Recently the children have been exploring animals. We have been reading Walking Through the Jungle, Brown Bear Brown Bear and The Cuddliest Hug to Name a Few. Miss Georgia thought it might be a great idea to introduce the children to her very friendly pet snake Jerry. During this special visit Miss Georgia fed Jerry, here is some dialog from our excited children;

Billy: "It got da mouse"
Samuel: "He's got a mouse"
Ronnie: "He's going night night's"
Stirling: "Where did the mouse go"?.

On Wednesday we continued with our interests of cooking. We often overhear discussions in the home corner of different foods and pizza is often a favourite. Miss Ellen brought in some muffins and yummy toppings and we took it in turns to create our own. Miss Kim in the kitchen cooked them in time for us to enjoy with our afternoon tea.

During the week we have also been looking into one of our Units of Inquiry, Our Natural World. The children are often outdoors and very inquisitive with things that grow. Miss Georgia has spent time with each individual child making their own little wheat grass garden cups. We are looking forward to watching them grow.

We hope you have all had a great week! Again, if you haven't brought in a family photo please try and bring one along for us to add to our mobile in class.


From, Mrs Jess, Mrs Nicole, Miss Georgia, Miss Ellen and Miss Kim
