Edgerley Room



Dear Edgerley Families,
This week the children have been demonstrating some of the things they can do now that they are four. We have proudly been writing our letters from our names and some children have even been spelling out their whole name.
We have also been doing lots of counting. Some of the children used number cards and counters to construct a large number line in the break out space. They selected the number cards up to ten and began using chop sticks to find counters and place them above each number card. When they got up to 10 Deacon and Chester suggested that they keep going up to 100.
“We need to open the blinds up” Chester told us
“Yeah and some more counters” said Zac
“That’s going to take a long time, we might have to have lunch first” suggested Deacon
The children kept going with their number line and have now decided to make their own cards.
Hope you all have a lovely and safe weekend. Mrs Bishop will be back next week.
Pip, Susan and Mel.
