Edgerley Room

Dear Edgerley families and friends,





Week 1 of the holidays has been quite a relaxed one as we ventured into new activities in the classrooms. We have continued to add to our Christmas decorations by threading through coloured pasta and patty pans creating patterns in the process. This develops our fine motor skills as well as concentration as we try to stay on tasks. Look around and it's really "looking a lot like Christmas "indeed. We have also been going for our playground adventures in the prep school and we just love exploring the slides, monkey bars, and swings. We just love the challenge and although sometimes it can get a bit tricky, we are just happy to give it a really good try. The children have also been busy tending to their shop and making sure that everybody gets a yummy breakfast before they start their play. And if you are really good, you might score yourself a blueberry pancake and a hot chocolate (or coffee) to go with it.

Next week we have quite a few fun things lined up so please mark these dates in your diaries.

Monday: Face Painting day :)
Tuesday: Ice block making day.
Wednesday: Bring a Christmas Book to share.
Thursday: Christmas hat making.
Friday: ELves in the ELC. Please dress your children in green or/and red. We will be making elves hats and will have little parade and a few songs.

We are looking forward to seeing you next week.
Coney and Renee
