Dear Edgerley Families,
You wouldn’t believe it, just
after Show and Tell time, the Edgerley children got ready to go outside for a
play… we got outside and there was tons and tons of rubbish: newspapers, bubble
wrap, crepe paper littering the whole entire yard! What was also surprising was
that Mrs Rocca and Mrs Baird were ready with clipboards for notes and cameras
for pictures just to record what the children’s reactions would be.
Alex: “What happened over here?”
Toby: ”Oh my goodness! ”
Jacob: ”There’s heaps of
rubbish!”
Angus: ”There must have been a
party here last night!”
Rayan: ”So much people have
messed up the PAC track.”
Caleb: ”Look at the tennis court.
There’s so much rubbish!”
Bruno: “I’m a rubbish man – I’m
picking up the rubbish. Then the
children can play.”
Angus: “We don’t want it to be
dirty.”
Cooper: “I’m taking rubbish to
the rubbish dump to make it clean again.”
Owen: “Get the green bin! Get the
green bin for all the paper ones.”
Felix: “Bubble wrap in this one.
Bubble wrap! Bubble wrap!”
Owen: “We can use it again – we
can make stuff with it!”
Cooper: “Don’t mix them. The
rubbish man might not know what’s in there and he’ll collect the wrong one.”
After the big clean up, most of
the boys and girls chose to play in other areas but a small group of boys
turned the bikes into rubbish trucks, one for the paper and one for the plastic
and did laps and laps of the circuit picking up rubbish and advertising to the
other children to keep the area clean! We’re very proud of the Edgerley
children for taking action to make our areas so clean and safe.
Next week you will find in your
child’s locker a blank poster (with instructions). We would like you to record
in any way you choose just how your family looks after the environment from
your home. You might like to draw a map, write notes, draw pictures, make a
collage etc… This will then be your child’s Show and tell for Week 7.
Have a lovely weekend!
Coney, Juliana and Katherine
