Edgerley Room




What a wonderful first week in Edgerley Room. We welcomed lots of new faces into four year old Kindergarten. It was great to meet and get to know the new children and their families (thankyou to all the parents who attended the information session on Tuesday, we hope it was informative). We spent the week familiarising ourselves with our new environment and were excited to discover that we could venture out into the breakout space outside our classroom by ourselves. We talked about some rules for the breakout space to keep us all safe and happy and were thrilled when we could remember them all. We enjoyed dancing, exploring reflections, completing puzzles and creating a house, all outside our classroom!! Inside our classroom we talked about different types of houses and shared a book with houses from around the world. We used our big map to board an aeroplane with Mrs Rocca to visit all the countries we had read bout…it was very cold in Alaska because it’s right at the top of the world! We can’t wait to begin to share our own houses with each other next week… I wonder if any of them will look like the tee pee tent we saw in Alaska??
Kind Regards
