Langley

And so Term 2 begins! A very warm welcome to Abigail, Ruby, Nathan, Lola and Sebastian. B who have joined the Langley Room. It has been a delight to see you all settling in to your new school environment, exploring our play spaces and adjusting to the rooms routines.

This week we have focused on changing weather and investigated the season of Autumn. We had a discussion about what the weather looks and feels like in Autumn and what happens to the leaves on the trees. We visited the tree outside the ELC and saw some leaves on the tree but also some which had fallen on the ground.
Isaac - "How are we going to get them down"
Riani - "They all fall down"
James - "Its red and brown"

Our outdoor yard has a little bit of an update so on Thursday we took the opportunity to spend some time in this space as a class. We had morning and afternoon tea picnics there and spoke about respecting the area - not pulling on the plants and allowing them to grow and not throwing the bark.   
We hope all our Langley Mum's have a very special day on Sunday and look forward to celebrating with you on Monday morning at our Princess' Tea Party.

Sarah, Emily, Brooke and Renee
