Edgerley

Hello Edgerley Families and Friends!

We have had an awesome week in the Edgerley Room, as the children have engaged in a variety of exciting activities with the children from the Cooper Room. It was great to see the children build strong relationships with each other throughout the week, as well as work together and interact positively.

We would like to share some learning which was displayed by a group of boys on Thursday morning as they constructed a zoo. They accomplished this task using the wooden blocks and animal toys…

We need to leave the roof open, so that the animals can get some sunlight, explained Hamish, as he carefully positioned the blocks.

Let’s make the walls higher, so that the animals can’t get away, stated Louis, as he collaborated with his peers to build on their previous work.

I’m going to put the herbivores here, and the carnivores there, said Sebastian, as he began to categorise the animals.

As the boys engaged in this task, it was encouraging to see them working together to achieve one common goal. As well as this, they demonstrated an emerging knowledge of respecting and understanding of the environment.

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Mr Richards, Miss Jana, and Miss Gray
