Angwin

Dear Angwin Families,

This week has been a great week for both of teachers and children. On Monday, we joined Edgerley the  children for some science experiments.  Mrs Kaur demonstrated the processes to us then all of children had a go. Angwin class explored the experiment of raining clouds. We talked about the scientific knowledge and theory behind the phenomenon. It was interesting to hear the children’s thoughts. 

The second experiment didn’t work at first, so we talked about what could have gone wrong and tried to fix it up. The second attempt was quite successful and the children gained a sense of accomplishment through solving problems with their reasoning and logical thinking.

Oliver’s Dad visited us for a sports session. The children had great fun in the Red Centre and we also practised our gross motor skills by kicking balls, jumping and running. In the afternoon, some of our children drew pictures about the PE class and wrote a thank you letter for him.

On Wednesday, we had a police man visit. We talked to the police man, tried on the uniform and helmets and explored the police car. The conversations between the police man and Angwin children were very interesting and there were so many incidental lessons occurred during the conversations.

We have also been creating 3D paintings with foam and glue. Children have produced amazing pictures.

Love Miss Wenting and Miss Bowden
