Dear Parents,
It has been an extra special week with birthdays and Grandies day
all in the same week. Happy birthday to Sebastian and Stefan who shared the
same birthday on Grandies Day! We loved having our grandparents come in to
visit us on Tuesday. We sang them 5 songs and then brought them back to show
them our classroom before taking them on a tour of the ELC. Our Grandparents
are such special people in our lives which the children reflected in their
drawings and dialogue which are displayed in the Edgerley Room.
My Grandma plays dinosaurs with me. I get to stay for 1 to 5
sleeps and go to the zoo with her - Jasper
My Grandpa is a bit funny. He puts his beard on my face and it's
ticklish! My Grandma is always cooking. My Grandma and Grandpa have the same
big feet - Varish
Nonna Antonette and Grace go to the shops and collect cards for
me. Nonno Ralph makes olives for me. Leo fixes our house so we have 2 toilets
again - Lucas
I play Lego with her. She takes me to the China place where I eat
those noodles. My Grandpa died - he's a little angel - Ben
During our walk up to PE in the Prep School some of the boys
noticed the leaves were changing colour on some of the trees. Some of the boys
collected the beautifully coloured leaves to bring back to the Edgerley Room.
It's autumn - David
The leaves fall off the trees - Sylas
The green ones will very slowly change colour - William
Yes they change colour - Johnny
I saw that one that had green at the front and a little bit
purple. The ones that are still green didn't change yet because of the wind -
Regan
There's 4 seasons - autumn, summer, winter and spring - Oscar
The boys helped select coloured paint in the colours of the
leaves. They then painted their reflections of the autumn trees.
There was huge excitement when Scott the deep sea diver came to
visit the Edgerley boys on Monday! He arrived in his full diving suit - a very
thick wetsuit which made him sweat a lot! The boys have been riveted with the
whole underwater deep sea diving theme throughout this term, creating
their underwater corner in the room. Scott explained what all of his
equipment was for and answered many of the boys questions. The boys got
to try on his flippers, gloves, snorkel and diving vest. Scott's regulator
made exciting noises and released air which caused great excitement. We had one
burning question answered which was how do the divers communicate underwater.
Scott told us that they use sign language!
Best wishes,
Emma, Mel and Ty
