Dear Edgerley Parents,

We have enjoyed another packed week, full of investigations
into familiar machines. Alex shared his corn popping machine with us and we
enjoyed it so much that Mrs Cooper brought her clear panned lid to school so
that we could repeat the experience and see how the kernels heat, spin and pop.
Mrs Bishop set us a challenge to work out what two machines we could use to
make jelly (a kettle and a fridge of course!) and then we discussed how kettles
and fridges must have different machine parts inside them to do different jobs.
Led by Tom, Daisy and Fergus we used a sewing machine to
create an ocean for our light table. We practiced a tricky fine motor skill to
create hundreds of fish with pipe cleaners for the ocean. We used another
machine to attach them, can you guess what it was? We will continue with this
project next week and share the book The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister to
inspire us to add other parts to our fish.
We are starting to create a Reception gallery so please feel
free to send in or e-mail any photos of your child (or children) in their new
school uniform
Kind Regards
Mel, Pip, Amelia and Coney
