Hi Cooper families,
Welcome back to the school term Cooper room families. It has been
lovely seeing all of the children again after the long Christmas break.
The Cooper class has been busy creating the fire truck in our
classroom. We painted the base colour of the panels that will be placed on the
sides of the truck – they were of course RED! We also decided as a group that
we would need:
Blue and red nee naws – Toby
Yellow lines – Karl
Wheels, black – Olivia
Ladder – Sebastian B
We have gone on lots of adventures around the Cooper room saving
lives and putting out the fires.
The Cooper children have been so kind and caring to the new baby
dolls that are in our classroom.

them “so they are not hungry anymore” –

them to “sleep when they are tired” Lotti
The children are role playing what they have observed of how
people care and interact with babies. The children demonstrated their care,
empathy and respect for others through these socio-dramatic play scenarios.
We have started our yoga in the classroom on Tuesday and Thursday
with Miss C. In our yoga sessions this week Miss C spoke to us about what yoga
was, we practiced some of the poses and then we had some quiet relaxation time
which them flowed through to our rest or sleep time. The children were keen to
try their new yoga moves, bending and stretching their bodies into the
different poses. Miss C was very impressed with the way the children used their
muscles to hold each of the poses that she was demonstrating.
Love Miss Gilbert and Mr Richards
