Amelia’s Class Week 6 Term 1

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all of your kind messages in my absence on Monday and Tuesday. I am feeling much better! Archana and Sarah D supported the group on these days and ran through our usual routine, looking at the sound of the week, literacy stations, music with Gemma, and a trip to the Lane Cove Library with Sarah M’s class. All reports from the teachers and children were very positive despite the missed swimming session!

The children seemed very pleased to make up their lost swimming time on Thursday afternoon, and it was a lovely hot day to spend in the water. Thank you to Nate and John for joining us and having a swim with the kids!

This week, we finally got to look at our Rad Reptile eggs that we set up last Thursday. We discussed how the eggs have changed to have a more bouncy and slimy shell that no longer cracks but rips. We compared the new texture to soft plastic which is still easily broken but does not need the force of a beak to break through, like a bird’s egg would need! The children have seemed to be really engaged with the Rad Reptile unit of work which is lovely to see, next week we are exploring the ectothermic feature of reptiles.
