Edgerley Room




Dear Edgerley Parents,
Another jam packed week this week as we continued to explore our key areas of interest. We continued to wonder about where babies get food from when they are inside their mummies tummies and discovered a link to our very own belly buttons! We wanted to share some of our memories of our own births (?!) and have begun to record them. They are hidden under pictures of our belly buttons, come into our classroom next week and see if you can work out who is who.
We also continued to ponder about rainbows and it seems we already know a lot!
“To make a rainbow you need sun and water” said Priyanka
“No, sun and rain” said Toby
“Because they come out some days when it’s raining” said Sebastian R
“We like them because they’re pretty” said Fletcher
“Because they are bright” said Felix
“But we can’t touch rainbows” said Rocco
“Because the father you go closer, the father it goes away” said Alec
“No, there’s treasure at the end, they leave treasures where they stopped” said Isaac
“I think a rainbow feels warm because it is made of sun” said Owen
We also enjoyed our sessions at PE this week and are getting very good at our straight, tuck and doggie rolls. We can even do tucks of the balance beam! Wow!
Kind Regards
Mel, Coney and Pip
