Edgerley Room



Dear Edgerley Parents,
We had another brilliant week, busy in our classroom. We continued to discuss why we thought some blossom trees were letting their blossoms flower and others weren’t. We decided that some trees didn’t’ know that it wasn’t spring yet! We observed some blossoms in class and painted them. Our observations of shadows also continued this week with lots of theories about where shadows go when we can’t see them.
“They go up behind the clouds when we can’t see them. That’s where they are” said Bailey
“When I went into the bathroom there were three shadows of me” said Olivia
We have enjoyed taking care of our hermit crabs this week and have been busy creating mini breakout spaces for them so they don’t fall onto the floor. We are very interested in homes for animals and hope to extend our inquiry to bee hives and birds’ nests in response to children's thoughts and interests in the coming weeks.
Kind regards
Mel, Coney and Pip
