Edgerley


Dear Edgerley Families,
What another great week we have had in the Edgerley room during the second week of the Term 3 holidays. The weather has  been kind again for all our holiday activities.

On Monday it was a welcome break with the Public Holiday and we hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Tuesday we started to make our Giant Space rocket. We started to paint it white but ran out of paint, so we read the book Rockets, Planets and Outer Space. We all agreed to make the rocket in the book (blue and red) and Harry B suggested to “Put a computer inside to fly the Rocket Ship”. 

On Wednesday we had a nice time playing in the classroom and started to paint the rocket fins a “Cool Red”.  After Morning fruit we went on our Nature Hunt around the college. On the oval Knox found some “Black grass” (the black sports lines), Tommi found some yellow leaves. We all loved exploring the college grounds where we found a fountain and ended up at the ‘Rainbow Playground’.

Thursday we returned to the ‘Secret Garden’ we found the day before, for our morning fruit time. What wonderful weather we had for the picnic. Exploring the garden was like being back in the time of the dinosaurs or being lions in the jungle. After eating we found the School Museum where we saw lots of things from the past days of the college. We found old college uniforms, trophies & medals, swords on display and a beautiful stained glass window.

Friday is a day full of fun. In the morning we head off for the Red Centre for some Wacky sports and in the afternoon we visit the Library for some quiet reading time.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend, stay safe and see you next week.

Mr Ty, Mrs Nacca.
