Hi Cooper families,
Moon Festival, or Mid Autumn Festival, is fast approaching. In preparation for this
special time, the Cooper room have decorated a red lantern using our fingers
and painting with black paint. Leading up to the Moon Festival we will be
asking the children what their wish is for the New Year. We will record this
dialogue and display this next to our beautifully decorated lantern.
This week we have continued our investigation into rainbows. We
have specifically focused on communicating our knowledge of rainbows and
colours through a range of visual arts experiences. Through the visual arts
children can represent their impressions of events and objects. While the children engage in these experiences they are also building
their knowledge of colour.

N – I have red and blue and yellow on my rainbow.
Poppy
– I did my rainbow. We need to hang it in the sky.
We have started to share our family photos in the Cooper room this
week. It is lovely to see the children’s faces light up as they talk about who
is in their family and show their peers their photo. We will be displaying the
children’s family photos and the dialogue taken from their special show and
tell. Show and tell is a wonderful opportunity for children in the Cooper room
to speak in front of their peers and share important information and events of
interest with their friends.
Mason –
Look what I’ve got. It’s my picture. It’s my mummy and daddy and me. That’s my
Jett and my Sylas. I got one Jett and one Sylas and one mummy and one daddy.
We have been very busy creating our special presents to give to
our Daddies at our Big Boys Breakfast. They are looking amazing and the
children are very proud of the finished product. We hope to see all the Daddies
on the 31st of August at 8:30am in the ELC.
We had a
fantastic day on Thursday for our Book Week parade. The costumes looked
fantastic and the children loved sharing their special books with their peers.
What a great morning!
We hope that you have a lovely weekend.
Love Miss Gilbert and Miss C
