Mead

Dear Mead Room families, 

We hope you had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed the long weekend, spent with family and friends.

Week 1 of the Autumn school holiday program has been very productive and loads of fun! 

This week has consisted of painting, science experiments and collages, as well as a movie morning and outdoor play. 

Monday, was science experiment day! We created bubble blowing prints by blowing bubbles in a mix of dishwashing liquid, water and food colouring. Using straws we blew lots of red and green bubbles. We watched them rise up and out of the container and then placed paper over the top of the container, transferring the bubbles onto paper. 

Harry: Wow! Look what's happening

Ming Ming: Bubbles!

Grace-Marie: I'm blowing bubbles 

The Mead children love mixing colours and experimenting with what happens when 2 colours are mixed together. On Tuesday we mixed red and blue together with our fingers to create purple! 

Jimmy: It changes colour, it's going purple

Cody: Mixing blue and red makes purple

Tom: I'm mixing red and blue

On Thursday, we kept cosy and dry inside watching Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip with Cooper and Mattingly class. In the afternoon, we began to create ANZAC day paintings and collages.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Miss Boler and Miss Beth
