Edgerley Room







Dear Edgerley Families,

Week 1 of the Holidays has been loads of fun for the children and teachers. We started off with our Wacky Hair Day coming to school with our wackiest, craziest and coolest hairstyle adding glitters, gel, feathers, colored hair chalk and even pegs to come up with the best tresses! We sported the mohawk, spikes, plaits and even wigs! As if that wasn't enough fun we also brought our beloved teddies and bedtime friends for a wonderful walk and picnic in the back oval. We shared our fruit under the warm sunshine and went for some running races too. We also learnt a new game from Ms. Renee where we sit in a circle and rolled a ball to and fro trying to touch the leg of the person in the middle. What a cool game that was. 
Indoors, we continued to explore our Dinoland where we learnt about Dinosaur families and species, their food and built homes for them. We also experimented on making Clouddough which turned out to be a great experience. What made it so cool is that we didn't even need to use salt or hot water.
"Oh! Its so gooey!" Rocco said.
"I really like the feel of it" Chloe added
"I can make a cake with it for you Mrs Rocca" Fletcher  offered.

We have also been looking after tadpoles and little snails in a tank and watch them using our magnifying glasses. Lucky the children reminded Mrs Rocca to feed them for the weekend.

At end the week we watched "The Land Before Time" to further explore our interest in Dinosaurs. We watched a group of baby dinosaurs go on a journey to the Great Valley. We had yummy popcorn inside our personlised paper cones. All in all,  it was a great week!

Dates to Remember:

Tuesday: Please bring any ANZAC DAY Memorial piece e.g. badge, uniform, medals etc. for the children to share with the group.
Wednesday: PAC Museum Excursion
Friday: Crazy Socks Day. Come to Kindy with your most outrageous socks! Lets all get warm and cozy for a movie!

Looking forward to next week!

Mrs. Rocca, Ms. V and Ms. Renee
