Edgerley Room

 

Dear Parents and Friends,

We have had an exciting week in the Edgerley Room. The children have made face biscuits with Mrs McKenzie using dried fruit, vegetables and rice crackers. Then on Wednesday we visited the Year 2T class for shared reading. This will be an experience we will enjoy weekly, with the big boys visiting us or we will see them up in their classroom. The children have been loving deconstructing some old electrical goods, using real screwdrivers, pliers and scissors. We have also started giving the children new “Learner Profile” badges for special things we have observed throughout the day such as being caring, taking risks, thinking hard. These will be detailed more in our Portfolios each term. Today we had an amazing discussion about skeletons.

Here are some of our comments…

Jack: Your skeleton is all your bones together. If you didn’t have bones you would all fall down!
Zac: Skeletons help us move around… you couldn’t move if you didn’t have one!
Oliver H: Skeletons help make us strong.
Harry P: Animals have bones too.
Max: When you fall off the swing there would be blood but inside you might break your bone and it might even poke out!
Hudson: Bones are hard.
Jack: An x-ray is a picture of your bones. My sister had to have an x-ray ‘cos she broke her arm

We are looking forward to having Gabby’s dad Dr Chisholm talk to us about his work as a surgeon. Our body investigations are getting deeper and we are learning so much from each other too.

Kind Regards,

Pip, Emma and Coney
