Langley

Dear Langley Families and Friends, 


It has been a lovely and very busy week in the Langley Class. The children have been busy exploring the new experiences and have also thoroughly enjoyed playing together. It is a pleasure seeing so many of them beginning to form new friendships with both their educators and peers. We have observed the children being empathetic towards one another, inviting friends to play and also enjoying parallel play alongside one another. We also would like to extend another warm welcome to Miss Nicole who returned this week from maternity leave. 

Early in the week we went on a hunt for different coloured leaves. This experience was an extension of the children’s interest in leaves and their ever changing colours. The children found red, green, yellow and brown leaves just to name a few. They then went on to work with Miss Georgia to create some beautiful collages using the leaves they had collected along with some Autumn coloured paints. Their masterpieces will be displayed in the Langley Class for you all to admire. 

To extend this experience at home you may like to go on a ‘leaf hunt’ with your child. We encourage you to bring the leaves in so that your child can show them to us all as we would love to see how many different leaves and colours we can discover. 

It is great to see just how many children are giving toilet training a try. We acknowledge that this process looks different for every child and would like you all to remember that there is no perfect time to toilet train. If your child is beginning to toilet train please try to dress them in loose fitting pants such as track pants and leggings as these are much easier for the children to pull up and down and also for us to change in the case of any accidents. If you would like any additional information on toilet training please feel free to speak to the Langley staff. 

REMINDER

Please remember to have a look through the ‘lost property’ basket that is located next to the sign in book. The number of items in there is increasing and we will need to dispose of some of the items very soon. We are also still on the hunt for Winnie’s jumper. This jumper has been clearly labelled so it would be greatly appreciated if you could double check your child’s jumper to make sure that there hasn’t been a mix up. 

We hope that you all have a lovely weekend. 

From 


Miss Amelia, Miss Kathy, Miss Georgia, Miss Tayla and Miss Nicole
