Dear Edgerley Parents and boys,
The wet weather has not dampened the boys enthusiasm or energy
this week! The Edgerley Salon is continuing to pump away with satisfied
customers arriving disheveled and exiting looking very sleek. Mrs McKenzie
headed in for a spruce and was pampered and looked after beyond belief. She
would highly recommend it for anyone in need of a mo-hawk, colour or cut.
With
the end of term getting closer the boys have had yet another transition visit
on Wednesday and those who will be graduating have been making their graduation
hats ready for the big occasion next Thursday in the Chapel.
We have many
budding architects in the room who have been displaying incredible construction
and design talent with house and "worm catcher" construction with the
large waffle blocks and small wooden blocks in the outdoor environment. Those
whose interest don't lie in construction have been cooking up a storm in the
sandpit, with great discussions as to menu, ingredients, measurements and
cooking temperatures.
With the wet weather, the discussion around worms has continued
with particular interest in their habitat and the rains impact on this:
It's dark, dirty and underground - David
It's even slimy because its mud - Varish
Its very dark like a night time - William
The seeds of the plant are the roof of it (the worm house) - Oscar
The water melts the dirt - Tommy
The water soaks into the dirt onto the worms - Sylas
They hold their breath underground and when it rains they come out
to take a breath - David
They have lights in there (underground) - Tommy
They dig with their head. They don't need to breathe through a
mouth. they don't have a mouth. They breathe through their whole body - William
We look forward to many more worm investigations next week!
Best wishes,
Emma, Mel and Ty
