Mead

Hello Mead families and friends,

As most of you have noticed we have given the classroom a makeover, the children have had a positive response to their learning environment. Having an array of POD areas for them to engage in while continuing to build on their relationships with peers. Thank you to the parents for feedback on the room change!

A popular area has been the Dinosaur Habitat, the children have demonstrated strong interest with animals. This is why we have provided animal fine motor activities.

Hudson and Sienna assisted Miss Elodie in making play-doh. Hudson chose orange for the colour! What a great choice!! Play doh is always a big hit with the children within the Mead room as it is fantastic for their manipulation and fine motor skills.

On Tuesday we let our beautiful butterfly go, we all sat on the grass and watched as it flew into the sky and landed on a tree. We also have two more chrysalis that will soon turn into butterflies.

Paige brought in some lovely leaves that she collected from her walk at Mt Lofty. Paige and Thomas Draper decorated the tree that is outside the classroom.

This week we have been participating in an array of inside and outside experiences, making the most of the sunshine when it would come out.

We hope you have a lovely long weekend
Miss Elodie and Mrs Nacca
