Langley

This week the Langley room welcomed a very special guest - Jerry the snake!! Jerry is a Murray Darling Python and is Miss Georgia's pet snake. The children have been fixated on watching him as he slithers and slides inside his tank. Sometimes Jerry hides under his rock, other times he likes to curl up and wrap around his log. Children have loved doing observational drawings of Jerry on chalk boards as they watch him, also touching Jerry when Miss Georgia gets him out of his tank.
  
Riani - "It's just Jerry. Ssss, sssss. Oh no, here's Jerry. Look Jerry."
Alannah - "There he is. He's got long legs, no he's got a long tail. Go back in the rock."
Charliese - "Terry (Jerry) snake. He eats that (pointing to the bark). Look through, he go in there."
Kaeshav - "It's a snake, he goes round and round. a very long snake."
Mack - "Dere's bridge. He hiding in dere (there)."

Carrying on with our investigation into weather, we've created a group sensory grey rain cloud. We've also enjoyed working our colour recognition by exploring rainbows and our fine motor skills with the pegs boards.

Have a great long weekend
