Edgerley


Dear Parents and Friends,

This week our children are showing a great interest in different creepy crawlies and other creatures, thinking about their special features and where they live. Our show and tell has been a way for children to share creatures and describe their homes.

We have been developing our observational skills, to watch and observe and then record what we see and describe our representations.

Our children have seen caterpillars, hermit crabs, a tortoise and different bugs that are enclosed in resin. Their representations are fascinating!

We have also followed up on our favourite animals, sorting out whether those creatures live on the ground, under the ground or above the ground. Our show and tell next will follow up on our research, so please do send it in. We are planning to make some diorama boxes of these habitats in the next few weeks.

Next week we will be welcoming some hopping mice into the Edgerley room! Very exciting!

Kind Regards,

Emma, Pip and Coney
