Langley


Dear Langley families,

Last week we enjoyed an Easter Hat parade in which many children participated. Some children made hats at home whilst others enjoyed making bunny ears at the art table. The classes took turns dancing as they showed off their hats. The 2 and 3 year old’s gathered in the Wilkins room to hear Miss Kathy tell the Easter story before participating in an Easter egg hunt.

Several children have enjoyed experimenting with the paint rollers this fortnight as we look towards preparing another collaborative art piece. The rollers are a great way for the children to practice their fine motor skills and learn yet another technique in applying paint to a surface.

We have also seen lots of interest in watching our monarch Caterpillars as they munched on the milk weed and changed into cocoons. We have been reading the “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and now we eagerly await the arrival of the Butterfly. Fingers crossed it happens whilst we are watching.

Grandies Day brought lots of smiles as many grandparents enjoyed looking around our various learning environments and spending time with their grandchildren. Our children worked hard to learn their songs though some were a little overwhelmed by the audience size and forgot to sing! Thanks to Mrs. Cooper from Angwin room for arranging this event big and wonderful event. Thanks also to all of those who attended and particularly those Grandparents who spent time with children who could not have a grandparent there on the day. Lots of special moments were captured on camera and we look forward to seeing the professional photos too.

Have a wonderful weekend

Ms Olly, Miss Georgia, Miss Chelsea and Miss Nicole
