Dear
Edgerley families and friends,
Welcome to
the second week of the spring program!
During this
week we have taken the opportunity to learn some new Yoga poses, Chaturanga,
Standing Forward Bend and Forward Bend. The various Yoga postures we have practiced
over the term we can now confidently put together to flow into the ‘Sun
Salutation A’ sequence from the ‘Autonomy of Fitness Book - Yoga’. Sun Salutation
comprises of 14 Yoga postures that help relax the system, mind and body, it’s
meditative and improves the functions of the whole body.
We went for
a visit to the Rainbow playground and some of the children found a ‘family’ of
snails, the mummy, the daddy and the baby. They were intrigued and showed
empathy towards keeping the ‘family’ safe and ensuring they have ample food and
water. As the sun was shining we took advantage of it and went for a nature
walk to the secret garden and then we ventured onto the tennis court to play
some group games and free play.
We had an
adorable bundle of joy Reuben visit
the Edgerley class. Reuben is Zara’s new puppy! Zara was so proud and excited
to tell us that Reuben sits down very well when asked to and shakes hands. Zara
continued to ask the children to line up if they wanted a pat to encourage turn
taking.
Rory – Reuben has lots of bones and muscles.
The end of it is very flat and skinny and that’s his tail. He shakes hands!
Look at his ribs and his nails are very sharp.
Ollie – He is so soft!
Zara – Line up in a straight line for a pat.
Sophia – Puppy very soft.
We hope you
have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. See you all next week for the start of a
new and exciting Term 4.
Cris and
Satinder
