Chapple

The warm weather has been great for our experts in play – the children. It has meant pipes and water have been the order of the day, with so much dialogue, creativity and social interaction.

The sound of the week “G” was an excuse to bring out the golf clubs and we went for a “hack” on the back oval. One of two budding Greg Normans were in evidence.

After a visit to the library and the story of the "Three little pigs", we investigated houses and discussed some people live in mud houses. We got out the clay and we had some great examples which we have put on display.

We were also lucky enough to have a visit from Eddie Betts and Tex Walker from the Crows - They were a little shorter in real life, but their guernsey numbers were great for helping us with our numeracy.

As part of our transition to school, we will be going to the Rainbow Playground at the Prep School to have a picnic lunch. This is a great opportunity to explore the important school skill of managing our lunch box!
We ask all the Tuesday children to bring a lunch in a lunch box as if they are going to school. Remember please no nuts or nut products.
This will take place on Tuesday 8th November. There will be no ELC lunch on that day. We hope to repeat this activity on another day to give all children the opportunity.
