Dear Families,
We have had an action packed week to start off Term 4!
The children have enjoyed exploring our outside environment with the warm days
loving the water play, exploring the fairy gardens, picking the broad beans and
eating them, planting sunflower seeds..
We have started our transition program up to the
Preparatory School, with just children who will be attending PAC. Each week there will
be different experiences as the boys get to know the environment, the different
teachers and experience a range of learning opportunities they will enjoy next
year. It is a fabulous way for the children to feel so comfortable and at ease
with their learning journey before the end of the year.
There will be plenty to offer our children moving on
to different schools in the weeks to come. Please do inform us of their
scheduled visits to their new schools. Often their schools like to send a
teacher to visit the children in their Kindy environment too so this will make
for a busy term with our Angwin children attending 14 different schools next
year.
We have had some discussion during the week of what
the children thought school would be like..
Lilah:
School will help us learn and make good choices.
Chloe:
There will be desks and a teacher.
Alina:
It will be fun… we will play and learn there.
Oscar:
There will be a playground.
Sidney:
My big brother will be at school. He’ll be 6 then.
Walter:
School is where you learn and play.
Daniel
B: When I go to the big school Will and Sam my brothers
will be there too!
Thomas:
My school is up the hill and James goes there too.
Edward:
There are books and teachers.
Roy:
I will play and make new friends there.
James:
There might be Lego and Mobilo.
Jason:
My new school is near my house.
This week we have also enjoyed many opportunities to
record our learning, drawing sand crabs that our friend Ryan brought in to
share, trying out ways of recording the Letterland characters and even
designing our own fairies for the fairy gardens. The children are constantly
working together to further their own understandings and their emphasis on
recording is the exciting way that they are interpreting and symbolising their
play in action.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Kind Regards,
Pip and Coney
