Langley

Dear Langley families and friends,

What a wet and wild end we have had to term 3! With the extreme weather and rainfall on Thursday, Nicholas was very eager to go out in the rain and play in the puddles. We had a small problem though - No gumboots! We put our thinking caps on and came up with the next best thing - plastic bags and tape! The children were very impressed with their makeshift boots and excitedly ventured outside to explore all the puddles. There was lots of jumping and slashing involved which lead to lots of wet clothes and shoes but we had so much fun!

Also this week we had some special visitors in our yard! On Tuesday morning the chickens made their way through the fence and were scratching at the bark. The children loved seeing the animals up close and wondered what they were doing.
Leopold - "What they doing here?"
Abigail - "They're kicking the dirt!"
Angus - "Why they do that?"
Miss Sarah thought they might be looking for some food to eat.
Mack - "They eating that"
William A - "Yeah, they eating that mud"

As you all know, Miss Brooke has been busy growing a baby boy in her tummy over the last few months. Her last day in the Langley room will be next Friday the 7th of October. We will miss her immensely but wish her and her husband Jake all the best as they excitedly await for their beautiful baby boy to arrive.

Miss Amy will be coming in to join us from Monday 10 October to replace Miss Brooke. Please say hello and introduce yourself when you see her. 

Have a happy and fun long weekend 

Brooke, Emily, Georgia and Sarah
