Wow, what a busy second week in Edgerley. We have continued our investigations in to homes and houses and the children described similar themes about comfort, belonging and safety in their own words.
“A home is where you live and when it rains it has a roof so you don’t get wet. It has a water tank and you can drink the water. You can go in someone else’s home only if you know them” said Cooper
“We have a home for having dinner in” said Owen
“A kid can’t have a home without a adult ‘cos if they want to cross the road a motorbike will come speeding or a stranger will come” said Alyssa
We also took a great interest in light this week, observing our shadows and how they change through the day, manipulating mirrors to create reflections and representing rainbow at the painting easel.
We also engaged in some deep discussions about where babies come from and how they grow this week, observing a puzzle of a Mum with a baby in her tummy and pointing out the umbilical cord. We enjoyed looking at our own belly buttons (not Mrs Bishop or Mrs Rocca’s!!)…can you believe that’s how our Mummies used to feed us! We will continue to share our stories about being born next week.
Kind Regards
Mel, Coney and Pip
