Mead

Dear Mead Room Families and Friends 
  
We hope you had a lovely long weekend spent with family and friends. 

We are continuing to look at our biodegradable science experiment in the Town Square and what would happen to rubbish in our environment, if it was left outside. We have been speaking about recycling and what items can and cannot be recycled. At morning meeting, we have been discussing what we think will happen to the items in the jars - will they stay the same, or break down? 

We are still very involved in our bones investigation and we have continued to create our own hand x-rays, using cotton buds. 

Millie: We have 5 fingers 
Hamish: They’re our phalanges (pointing to the skeletons hands) 
Houyi: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5! 5 fingers

In the town square, we have been making jewelry by threading small beads, straws and buttons onto pipe cleaners. Everyone concentrated very hard to thread the items on and create their own unique piece of jewelry. 

Poppy: I'm making a bracelet for my mum 
Cody: I'm threading all the blue straws on 
Christian V: Look how long it is! 
Zahli: This is beautiful, isn't it!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Georgia and Melissa
