Cooper

Dear Cooper Families and Friends,

The hot weather this week gave us the opportunity to partake in lots of water play. Many of the children enjoyed running through the sprinkler in the mornings, even Miss Sharon and Miss Ruggiero couldn't resist running through the sprinkler. Some of the children also used water in the sandpit, mud kitchen and large trough. 

This week the children have also had the opportunity to do some bubble paintings. Using straws they blew into the paint jars until bubbles appeared at the top of the jar.  They then placed their piece of paper on top of the jar so the paint bubbles would print onto the paper. They used an array of colours and created some beautiful artwork. The children were really proud of their efforts and enjoyed blowing lots of colourful bubbles.

Lucy - That so big!
Eddie S. - Woah!
Eddie N. - Bubble, bubble, bubble!

After we had played outside on Thursday morning it was time to escape the heat. The Mattingley class joined us for a movie and the children enjoyed watching A Bug's Life. During the week we have also been singing the Stretchy Lycra song. As the title suggests we use a large piece of lycra and stretch it as well as bouncing our hands and feet on and under the lycra. The children thoroughly enjoy this and the room is always full of laughter.

We also welcomed Aleah to the Cooper class on Thursday. The children were all very friendly as they introduced themselves. It has been lovely to see them help Aleah explore our fun learning environment.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Sharon & Miss Ruggiero
