Hello Cooper Families and Friends
The children have engaged in a variety of exciting experiences as
we have launched the first week of our school holiday program.
The children have all been given the chance to explore some of the
new activities we have set up in the room… the table-top beach and the
playdough kitchen proved to be a massive hit with them! As the week went on,
the children also had the chance to participate in a rocket ship experiment,
create sandy goo, decorate biscuits, and enjoy a picnic with their favourite
teddy bears.
Here are a few quick examples of some of the learning which has
taken place this week…
‘Here you go Ed… happy birthday to you!’ said Stirling, as he handed Ed
a birthday cake that he had made in the playdough kitchen. As Stirling did
this, he demonstrated his ability to act towards others with kindness and
respect.
‘When there is the rocket, we will have to stand away from it,
because there will be lots and lots of fire,’ explained Karl, as we prepared to undertake our rocket ship experiment. In
doing this, Karl displayed his understanding of respecting rules and
maintaining safety.
‘Mr Richards, I think that this is like toothpaste,’ stated Isaac S, as he squished sandy goo
between his fingers. It was great to see Isaac S establish real-life
connections as he engaged in play with his peers.
We would like to thank all of the families who have contributed to
our recycling challenge. We ask that you keep bringing in your recycled goods,
as rumour has it that we are getting very close to our goal of recycling 100
objects. Once we have achieved this goal, we will be planting a tree in our
yard to celebrate our efforts in caring for our local environment.
We look forward to seeing you all again next week, as we continue
to engage in our school holiday program.
Mr Richards, Miss Jana, and
Ms Wegener
