Edgerley Room




Dear Edgerley Families and Friends,
It’s great timing that our ELC is expanding just at the same time that we are exploring our Unit of Inquiry: Noiseworks! We often hear bangs and drilling and some machinery that we haven’t heard of before. We asked the children what all the noises were and why we could hear them.
Sabian: They’re building a new PAC. My daddy said there was not enough PAC.
Edward: The PAC going to bang it like that.
Harry P: They building more classrooms we need more kids to get help for them.
Mrs Baird: What will we need for the new children?
Oliver: More tables for the new children.
Pauline: More sandpits.
Hudson: But how we get out then?
Kristian: More apples, real apples.
Harry P: More carpets.
Hudson: We can’t get out if there’s lots of tables in front of us.
Max: Chairs. We need chairs.
Pauline: We need more playroom.
Harry P: Toys!
Kristian: More apples for the children.
Jackson: More cooks otherwise we won’t have enough to help Mr Rob.
Kristian: Beautiful new stairs. That would make it beautiful.
Pauline: More mats so the little ones can sleep.
Harry P: Clocks.
Oliver: More books.
Henry: Toys.
Florence: Trains. They will need trains.
Edward: A town forrest.
Liam. They need blocks.
Harry P: Doors.
Well done Edgerley – you are being very thoughtful about all the new children we are preparing for.
Looking forward to an exciting week ahead as we venture further into our interest of tree houses, sirens and teeth!
Katherine, Coney and Juliana
