In the Classrooms

Langley
All this week the Langley children have been hearing some very interesting noises coming from over the fence. We have heard lots of beeping and humming. While we were out in the big yard one morning we discovered we could see the great big arm of a digger over the fence maybe that was where the noise was coming from. We went outside to have a look and to our amazement we discovered a digger, a steam roller and a giant dump truck! The children sat and watched in awe. Later we talked about what we had seen and used the trucks in our outside pretend play.
“It’s beeping” said Yeoryi
“He’s digging a road” said Sienna
“To roll the ground cos the roads a bit dirty and a bit messy on the road and it’s a bit bumpy so the cars can’t go on it. The cars are a bit bumpy when the roads a bit bumpy” said Harry
“I think dat one a roller and dat one a digger” said Jack O

Mead
Dear Mead Room Parents,
It is the end to another busy, bustling and wonderful term. The children have made some interesting discoveries and extended their learning and knowledge about farm produce and products and where they travel to before they reach our plates.
Our topic for next term is 'Shadowlands' and should prove to be an exciting adventure of discovering the differences between light and dark, night and day............. We won’t give too many secrets away!
Have a safe and restful term break and we look forward to another fantastic term in three weeks time,
Best Wishes,
Emma and Susan
Cooper
Amazingly it is our last week for this class in Cooper Room! We have really enjoyed our time with all the boys, especially the past term learning all about farms and food. We would like to thank all the fabulous Cooper parents for all their kindness, help and support over the year and hope that you have a relaxing break if you are taking time off over the holiday weeks. We are going to miss your boys, even though we will continue to see them around the ELC. We know that you will love all the new and exciting experiences that the Edgerley Room will bring and wish everyone well for the future.
Kind regards,
Ali, Susan and Sue

Chapple
We have had so much fun in Chapple Room this week. The MasterChef cook-off and party was lots of fun and the food was delicious. It was a wonderful way to finish off the unit and to cement our understanding of where food comes from. We have also been doing lots of juicing! Some children even brought in limes and lemons to juice- and yes, they were sour….Thank you to everyone who went to the effort of sending in fruit for juicing and food for the party on Thursday. It was really special that so many of you went to the trouble of making sure your meal was gluten free. We have also met the new Chapple Room teacher Mrs Baird. She is lovely and the children have already warmed to her. They will have a wonderful term together next term. The Unit of Inquiry, ‘Shadowland’, will be great fun!
Sadly, we also say goodbye to Isaac and Chinmay. They are off to school next term and will be missed. We will, however, have three new children starting in the room and I am sure that they will fit in well.
Thank you all for my divine present. I will always have it with me and treasure it dearly. It will be a lovely reminder of the beautiful Chapple Room children. I will miss them all so much and will think of them often. Have a wonderful break!
Love Miss Marcus


Edgerley
Dear Wonderful Edgerley Parents,
It is with sadness that we have said goodbye to our wonderful group of Edgerley children this week. Thankyou for coming to our graduation, it was a special moment for us. We have enjoyed the privilege of being a small part of your child’s learning journey and will keep lots of memorable moments with us when the children move on. We would like to thank you all for the support you have given us during your child’s time in Edgerley and also for the beautiful, thoughtful gifts and flowers we received yesterday. We wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday (and an exciting wait for Reception!)
We will miss you all
Thanks again
Kind Regards
Mel and Rosalie
