Dear Parents,
It's hard to believe that we have reached the
final week of Term 4. It has been a short, busy term and it is with a heavy
heart that we farewell so many of our Edgerley friends. We wish Nicholas V,
Nicholas Y, Lewis, Hamish, Ollie, Will A, Will G, Aston, Emilia, William
P, Charlie P, Tom, Stirling, Giuliana, Grace and Olivia all the very
best as they move to other schools, kindergartens and classes. They are
all beautiful and unique little people and will be missed by the staff and
children they leave behind.
Hand in hand with the final week of term,
we have been busy preparing for our Edgerley graduation on Thursday,
creating Christmas cards and gifts for loved ones and making Christmas
decorations. We have been reading variations of the Christmas story and
retelling our own versions with the small nativity play.
On Monday we were so excited by a surprise visit
from Father Christmas! He visited all the ELC children and each child received
a cookie cutter as a special gift, with a recipe attached. Those friends that
do not attend on a Monday got a great surprise when they found their little
gift waiting for them in their lockers. As we expected, the children had
many comments and questions to ask Santa.
Why did you leave your reindeer at home? - Isaac

Australia is too hot for my reindeer, so I need

Best wishes and thank you for your continued
support throughout the term. We wish you and your families a very Merry
Christmas.
Emma, Mel and Chris
