Dear Mead Room families and friends
This week the children have dipped in
and out of exploring colour. Colour
mixing, colour perception and colour identification. Vivienne, Jack and Iverson utilised the large
and small translucent blocks to research colour mixing and identification:-
Vivienne placed a small red block on top of a
yellow one – I made orange!
Jack – Blue
and blue – blue!
We began looking through the coloured perspex and found our whole world was a different colour too! Harvey and Harry joined Vivienne at the
light table where she created orange once again, showing them how two colours
can make a third. And to continue the
orange theme the children made orange playdough.
We continued our discussions of kindness
and found that being kind most definitely extends to the chickens too. We decided that chickens have a brain and a
heart so they must have feelings too, just like us. We thought that perhaps great, big people
looming up behind them might give them a fright so we will be gentle and
thoughtful in our interactions with them.
Elsie
– I don’t want to scare them! I only want to touch their feathers…..
Alfie looked for tomatoes in the vegie
patch, to no avail…. So we have procured a pair of late fruiting bushes – stay
tuned, the chooks may well like a nibble before we harvest!
PE was pretty amazing – jumping, running
and balancing, we even utilised the parachute and found our own Mead Room home
underneath.
Have a terrific weekend.
Melissa and Georgia.
