Edgerley Room

Dear Edgerley Parents and Friends,
We have enjoyed a really lovely first week together. All children have settled in beautifully and are enjoying all the activities, songs, games and discussions in Edgerley. We have begun to explore our new Unit of Inquiry ‘Noisemakers’ by experimenting with glass jars, plastic containers and various sized tins and partially filled them with different materials to make interesting sounds. During Chinese lessons we created our very own orchestra complete with jar rattlers, wooden block bangers, stompers, pencil tin shakers and clickers! What a fabulous noise we made!
We would love some parent participation and we invite you to come and share your expertise by making some noise for us! Do you play an instrument? Are you able to use your body to make some interesting noises? Do you have something from home that can make different sounds (e.g. a power tool or kitchen appliance)? It could be anything! Please let us know if you are able to come in! it doesn’t even have to sound nice!
Thank you all for stopping by, introducing yourselves and getting to know the classroom and our routines.
Looking forward to another fabulous week next week!

Coney, Juliana and Katherine
