Edgerley

Dear Edgerley Families and Friends,

Welcome to the Winter Program! This week Adelaide has surely experienced rainfall, wind and chill in the air, winter is now upon us. The weather has deterred us from the outside activities that were planned for the week. Instead we kept cosy and warm indoors with spontaneous happenings that the children enjoyed.

We would like to wish Hamish, Will G and Rory a Happy 5th Birthday! Thank you for sharing cupcakes with your Edgerley friends.

We were lucky enough to have Mrs McKenzie join our holiday program Monday and Tuesday this week, she enjoyed the wind down time together with the children.

There has been particular interest in costume making. To extend on this we set up a making table with various materials and masks that the children have been creatively decorating. They have come up with Ninja masks, feather dusters to tickle Miss C with during relaxation time and they even produced their very own Chinese New Year movie.

I asked the children to enlighten me and explain what the movie is about…

Rory - It’s about Chinese New Year! The chicken and dragon come out to save the day. I’m the chicken as you can tell with so much feathers and wings.

Charlie P -  Chinese dragon, I create dragons and I’m a dragon girl.

Thank you to the Angwin class for inviting us to watch the movie Stork and to share their popcorn with us.

The third week of the holidays, Friday 21st July is National Pyjama Day! Your child is invited to the ELC to wear their comfy pj’s.

Next week will be my final week in the Edgerley Room. I will be taking one week off to recharge before I commence a new journey in the Cooper Room. Thank you once again for the memorable ride. I will surely miss you all.
