Edgerley


Dear Parents and Friends,

We have had an action packed short week in the Edgerley Room. We have continued our visits up to our new room, going to Chapel and having a morning tea picnic in the Colourful playground. The boys are loving these experiences and feeling more at home in this new environment. A big thank you to those parents who came along for the Information Meeting on Wednesday. It was a great opportunity to share with you, our routines and expectations for Reception.

Our boys have continued to enjoy our weekly Chinese sessions in the ELC. This week they loved hearing a story completely in Chinese, about some different animals and welcoming a new animal to the neighbourhood.

As part of show and tell we loved hearing Nathan’s concert on the piano. We talked about being part of an audience and what a performer does to introduce his piece as well.

It has been fantastic to see the way our friends work together on joint projects. There are images of Oliver and Nathan working together co-operatively to create a house with the 3D shapes. There was so much joy and excitement when they had worked through the learning process, problem solving and negotiating how their design would work.

Our whole class has been working on a joint project with the Angwin Room, creating an amazing rainbow snake using the milk bottle tops that we have been collecting. We have been making some amazing patterns and are looking forward to sharing our masterpiece in the Workshop for everyone to enjoy!

Please remember our Move Up mornings for the next two Wednesdays!

Kind Regards,

Pip, Emma, Ty and Rosalie
