Hello Cooper Room Family and Friends!
The children have had an exciting week
consisting of indoor and outdoor experiences. These experiences have included
box construction, imaginary play, reading picture books, painting, show and
tell, writing, playing group games, and using the Mobilo.
We particularly enjoyed observing the children
as they let their creativity run wild on the box construction table. Here are a
few quick samples of some of the learning which has taken place as a result of
this activity:
- ‘It’s
fish, in the water! 1, 2, and 3!’ said Ed, as he was showing
Mr Richards the ocean he had made. In doing this, Ed demonstrated his
increasing confidence and his strengthening numeracy skills.
- As Giuliana created
her dragon, she paused and stated ‘I can’t put this bit on it… I need more
glue!’ In doing this, Giuliana demonstrated her ability to actively and
independently problem solve.
- ‘It’s
a boat, with a block on it, and when you press the block, it’ll turn into
a bear!’ exclaimed Emilia. In doing this, Emilia demonstrated
her skills in creativity.
The interests of our Cooper children are
constantly evolving, and as teachers we aim to build our programs based on the
ideas which the children present. We have recently created a nature-based home
corner space, as the children were demonstrating a strong interest in the
natural environment and imaginary cooking. We look forward to seeing the
children engage with this new and exciting learning space over the upcoming
weeks.
Thanks again for your time,
Miss Gilbert and Mr Richards
