Chapple

Dear Chapple families and friends,


Wishing you all a warm welcome back, we hope you had an enjoyable new years and Christmas.  

We have had another busy and fun week in the Chapple room ranging from science experiments to water play. On Monday we showed a high interest in colours, this lead to the creation of a beautiful painting that we called ‘colourful raindrops.’ Our interest in creating art was furthered when we found a dragon fly, we decided to use it for some still life drawing whilst engaging in discussion about dragon flies and insects.

As mentioned earlier we experimented with some science activities. We were curious learners to see what would happen to our experiments, we were very excited when we saw our volcano erupt! 

Throughout the week we also enjoyed some water play, visits to the red centre, plays on the big oval and some Chinese lessons. As Friday was rainy we decided to end the week with a relaxing movie joined with the Edgerley and Angwin class.


On Tuesday the 17th of January, we will be having a wet and wild day so please bring bathers if possible!



Thanks,
Lucy-Anne Perkins.
