Edgerley Room

Dear Parents and Friends,

This week in Edgerley we have been recording what we know about our bodies on the inside and outside. It is fascinating to see the children’s rich knowledge already and share their ideas. We have measured some body outlines with arbitrary units and we are collating information collected from the children’s show and tell about themselves and their physical descriptions such as eye graphs, height charts, hair colour and skin tones. Our sea cave is looking magnificent with fairy lights and swimming mermaids. We have had fun making beautiful hearts to give to our families for Valentine’s Day.

Here are some of the children’s body comments:
Ammar: Bones keep your body hard and they are all over your body.
James: You have blood inside. (James and Sabian painted the whole body red because of the blood inside)
Zac: If you get a sore, the blood will be coming out of your skin.
Harrison: Blood helps you walk.
Zac: Your intestines are like a tube. It’s made of plastic and moves when you wriggle your hip. They control your body to move.
Gabby: Mummies have milk in their bodies for the babies.
Ammar: The milk comes out of her boobies.
Sabian: Mummies have two boobies and one belly button.
Jensen: Your hair grows from inside your head.
Sabian: Muscles. They help you move your arms up and down.
Harrison: The food goes to all of your body.
Gabby: It goes through your neck.
Oliver H: It goes through your throat.
Zac: In your body you have springs. That helps bring your food down and back.
Gabby: You have a tummy.
Harry Mc: You have pointy teeth to chew your food.
Zac: Your brain tells you how to make a good choice or a bad choice.
Ammar: When you eat food it goes down or up. If someone hits you on your back it comes back up.
Gabby: Wee can come out of your willy.

There are so many theories and ideas we have so far…. Imagine what else we will discover this term!!

Thank you for your ongoing support!
