Dear Families,
What a week in Edgerley! We have
been learning about the concept of an environment and the children have been
making environments for particular animals using various natural resources, by
painting, making collages and by role playing.
We have been exploring our
natural environments and the things we find in them. The children have been
scientists hard at work using magnifying glasses to notice details in all sorts
of natural things and have sketched their findings. Mrs Rocca had the great
idea of using microscopes, so a fabulous trip to the Big Big Boys Science Lab
and we came back with 5 microscopes! Not only that but Mrs Helen, the Big Big
Boys Science Lab Assistant also gave us glass slides with tiny little leaf
parts to look at. So exciting!!
Show and Tell has been rather
exciting as we have made many discoveries about the things we put in the bin!
“The rubbish bin is a very stinky
bin,” explained Alex.
“You gotta have different bins so
you don’t mix up all the rubbish,” Alyssa shared.
Max went on further to say,
“That’s because when the rubbish man comes he knows which goes in which.”
“Then it’s to the dump,” said.
Felix. “There’s a special grabber and it tips it in.”
Alex commented, “Fire! Then
there’s the fire.”
“But not the leafs,” Asher was
quick to point out what he knew. “There’s the different bins for the leafs –
that’s a green one. The yellow one is for stuff like that stuff in there (Asher
is pointing to the recyclable rubbish that the other children brought in).
We are looking forward to
exploring more about the different bins and why we use them! Have a lovely
weekend Edgerley!
Coney, Juliana and Katherine
