Mead

Dear Mead Room families and friends,

Our Eyes are unique and our graph is nearing completion.  Our numeracy focus has seen us use our graph first horizontally and now vertically – it is on the wall and almost all of the Mead Room friends have contributed their data.

Mathematical language is everywhere and comparisons within the graph have led to some competitive discussions regarding ‘most’, ‘least’, ‘more’, ‘less’ and ‘same’.

We have had a few Mead friends go away camping just recently, (very brave in this weather!),and others who have been some time ago but have much information to share regarding the requirements for a successful sojourn in the great outdoors;
Liliana – marshmallows
Flynn – food
Parker – people
Connor – we went camping and took a sleeping bag and a tent
Cooper – it (the tent) has sticks to keep it up
James – a campfire and a torch
Leo D – a red tent
Sam – a rubbish bin
So we have a tent, we have a couple of sleeping bags, a groovy campfire, we have lots of people, and the sticks to keep the tent up.  Now we just need to find a space in our classroom!

We said a sad farewell to Mrs Nacca on Thursday. She didn’t want a fuss but… well… we couldn’t help it.  We all gathered in the café to wish her a safe trip to London with her family, they’re leaving on Friday for an indefinite stay in Old Blighty.  She is much loved and will be sorely missed in our class and our ELC.  Bon Voyage Mrs Nacca xx  We welcome Miss Sharon to our Mead Room community as of next week.

Enjoy your weekend!
From Melissa and Elodie
