Chapple & Save the Date Invitation

This was “R” week. We had great fun with our runway.

The children were making planes and decided they needed a runway.
Lachlan: Runway starts with a R.
Spencer: They have to be really good planes.
Kian: We need a light to land.
Spencer: We need more lights.
Zoe: Don’t go on the runway yet. It not finished.
Kian: It needs to land on the runway to be safe.

The children sent down their planes.
Noah: Straight down the runway.
Spencer: It lands with its wheels.
Hugo: Oh no! I have to stop– No more marks.
Abi: Mine flies really high.

We have also worked on our sharing and teamwork with the marble run challenge. Puzzles and beads have helped our fine motor skills.

We currently have a lot of unsigned attendance sheets. Please could you check through and complete them. (Mrs Mandy and Ms Garland will be very grateful!!)
Thank you.

The Chapple, Mead and Wilkins classes will be  looking at a cross age inquiry in Term 4 into Water, the idea being to investigate the science in our everyday lives. We would love the children to bring in a picture, for the start of Term 4 ,of themselves with water or any interesting picture of water. The aim is  to look at the many ways we use water, how it affects us and some of the exciting science behind it.

We are also collecting small 600ml (ish) clear disposable water bottles for an experiment for Term 4.
