Langley

Dear Langley Friends and Family,

We have had a wonderful week in the Langley room.  

It is Science Week so we have been using the story ‘Who Sank The Boat’ to create our own boats using alfoil.  We experimented to see if they sink or float out in our man-made lake.  Some children enjoyed scrunching up their foil and they noticed it sank when in water, while others would keep the alfoil flat which helped it float just like a boat.  Please try this experiment at home using alfoil to make your own boats.  I wonder if the boats are strong enough to hold objects? Can you make one that might hold many toy animals?

During Book Week we are focusing on traditional fairy tales. We will be reading a new one each day.  Our class will start with the story Red Riding Hood.  You might see some hidden clues around the centre suggesting another fairy tale story is close by. Keep a look out!

Reminders:
·         Big Boys Breakfast (Father’s Day event) on Thursday 31st August (WeeK 6).  Please return your blue slip so that we know numbers of attendance for the day. Thank you

·         Book Week next week with Thursday 24th being our Dress up day.  We encourage all children to part take in this day and dress up as a book character and to bring along the book to share if possible.

·         If you can remember to bring in your child’s baby photo for our display that would be fantastic also.  Already many children have become fascinated with the current photos we have.


Have a great weekend.

Miss Nicole, Miss Georgia, Miss Tayla, Miss Amelia & Miss Kathy
