Dear Edgerley friends and families,
What a jampacked week this has been ! We have taken "busy" to another level this week.
Thank you for bringing in boxes for the children. As you can see in the construction area, the children have turned it into a "Bird City" inspired by the book " Window" by Jeanie Baker.
"It's a city for birds" Angus said.
"It tells a very important story about birds and people" Toby added.
"We have to take care of the trees so birds don't fly away and leave", Rocco said.
''If people chop the trees, it will be so sad", Alyssa informed us.
The children have been very keen to make people aware of how to look after the environment so we shared the story of the Bird City with the Mead class.
As we went on with our week, we talked about objects made out of plastic. It's amazing how much the children know already. In the process we found out that Mrs. Rocca had a problem that has been worrying her. The country where she came from had trouble with their tons of rubbish and we helped her find a solution to it.
"People should stop using plastic" a brilliant idea from Jacob.
"They should build a concrete dump so rubbish dont go everywhere" Fletcher added.
"We should tell the President to stop the people from making rubbish", Rocco said.
"They should put bricks around the rubbish so it doesnt go to the rivers and beach," Alyssa uttered.
"Yeah, coz then then the dolphins and fishy will die," Cooper agreed.
"They can make a really tall tower but you have to put a roof on it so it doesnt touch the moon," Max reiterated.
As a class, we came up with plans, ideas, and solutions to this serious problem and we hope to speak to the President of the Philippines one day and tell him all of our brilliant ideas.
For families who havent taken a poster yet, please let us know so we can provide you with one for your child's show and Tell. Please return the permission slips next week for our excursion to Metro Waste on 19th March.
Katherine ,Juliana and Coney
