Dear Edgerley
Families and Friends,
This week we
have had fun cooking orange cake to reinforce our sound for the week “o”. Then
we also cooked green eggs and ham. We started to share some rhyming books and
Dr Seuss has already become a firm favourite. We have borrowed quite a few
books from the Library to support our investigations! Please feel free to share
one when you come in, each morning!
Cooking
experiences are such an enriched learning opportunity, to work with the group
and discuss, plan and participate in a joint process. Here are some of the
children’s reflections of our cooking time this week…..
Oliver K: I’ve eaten all of it!
Harry P: I really liked it.
Louis: We cut up the ham with a knife.
Harrison: I loved the green stuff. I ate all of
it!
Oliver H: It tasted nice!
Oliver K: I really wanted some more!
Jack: I have all the ingredients to make
this at my home!
Louis: It’s hot… there’s steam!
Oscar: You need a fork to mix the eggs.
Harrison: We had to crack them open… they were
runny.
Harry L: We had to melt the butter then add
the egg. Then we put in the ham and mixed it altogether.
Archie: We cracked the egg on the edge of the
bowl. We cracked 11 eggs! Then we added the green colouring.
Do come and
check out our amazing cubby too! The children have been making cubbies with
material and it was time to extend this into a cubby space within our inside
learning environment. We have a beauty!!
Our trips up
to the Prep School are gradually increasing as we move along with our
transition programme. In the next few weeks we will be spending a few recess
and lunchtimes up there to help our children adjust to these busy times!
Looking
forward to another action packed week after the weekend!
Warmest
Regards,
Pip, Emma and
Coney
