Dear
Mead Room families and friends,
What a
week of investigation!
We
have combined two of our inquiries together – our Recycling inquiry and our
Water inquiry.
We
began to think about the impact of rubbish on our waterways, which we touched
upon last term, but the children are beginning to think much deeper about the
consequences. We are collecting ‘soft
plastics’ as we noticed that a lot of wrappers end up in the gutters along the
road, and in turn may go to creeks and waterways. By collecting these types of plastics the
children reflected upon the ramifications:
Jaden - we can help the
world
Ethan - and clean the world
Ethan and Jaden - and
have clean water so it will be nice for the crocodiles
Alex - the turtles
Ethan - the tadpoles
Hudson, Haris and William R - the
fish
Cooper, Zed and Patrick - the
sharks
Tom T and Sienna - the
whales
James, Oliwer and Yifan - the
crocodiles
Alana and Paige - the
ducks
Danica - the seahorses
Liliana - the mermaids
Jaden - and for people to
drink
Mikayla - for people to swim
in.
We
engaged in a quick spot of measuring using the gigantic kangaroo paws in the
car park, we quietly visited the chapel and began to consider Christmas, we
shared our knowledge of paper making with the Mattingley Room, and practiced
our audience and performing skills in
Anzac Hall as we prepare for our Nativity concert next week!
Happy
Birthday to William Raeside who is turning 4!
Enjoy
your weekend!
From
Melissa, Elodie and Sharon
