Edgerley

Dear Edgerley parents,

What a whirlwind of a week it has been this week. We have been very busy not only continuing on with our investigations, but also celebrating Book Week.

We transplanted  our seedlings to soil this week and are watching to see if the soil will give them enough nutrients to continue to grow. It was quite an operation as we all crowded round on the mat to see them moved over. Mrs Kaur was the unlucky staff member who had to glove up and separate all the smelly seedlings from each other. We were equally thrilled and disgusted to discover that they had become so pongy and it was the source of much hilarity! 
We wondered if soon we may have grown some carrots and celery for Miss Kim to use in the kitchen!

We began to sort all the colours we have created using paper plates and have displayed them on our main board.
“It’s a windmill!! We made a windmill!!!” exclaimed Henry
“You do yellow and red for orange so put them in there” suggested Zali
“We no grey!” wondered Sophia, pondering where our grey plates should go
“I like the pink the best, bright pink” said Isla
“Let’s write down all the things about orange and we can do it on a orange piece of paper!” suggested Nicholas Y

We were so lucky to have Ms Garland come and read to us as a guest reader this week and we also enjoyed joining the prep school students in the sun for the reading flash mob. But our highlight was our dress up parade where we boogied away with the rest of the ELC. What fun.


Love Mel, Emma, Cris and Satin
