Dear Edgerley parents,
This week we particularly enjoyed the opportunity to talk
about spooky Halloween things and delighted in coming up with scary Halloween
characters in our playdough. We decided to keep them and let them dry. Come and
have a look at our ghouls and goblins!
We continued our inquiry into the makeup
of the solar system and enjoyed watching a Youtube clip that told us more
about the planets we were creating. You can watch it with your child at home by
clicking on this link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZ-qLUIj_A0
. Unfortunately our planets that we were papier macheing popped over the
weekend so we have come up with another plan to stop our globe of the earth
being so lonely. Keep your eyes peeled for a brand new solar system, Edgerley
style.
Our hospital continues to flourish. Thankyou to all the
families that have made contributions. We have begun to think, not only about
what is inside our bodies, but also about how we can prevent germs getting
inside. We will continue to add to our list of ways to keep our bodies healthy.
We were excited to add timers to our clock collection this
week and have enjoyed watching the different coloured sands race each other. It
took us a while to work out what to call them, with Sebastien initially
suggesting we call them time capsules. Gradually we refined our name and now know
they’re timers. We have also begun to work out what a clock face looks
like at some of our important times in the day. Did you know that when we have
lunch one hand points straight up while the other one points straight down?
Our interest in bugs is slowly smouldering, if you find any
interesting specimens that you can safely collect we would love to see them.
We have begun to encourage the children to return their hats
to the hooks in their lockers and we would love it if you could help us out by
returning your child’s hat to their hook before you leave at the end of the
day.
Have a lovely weekend
Mel, Emma, Cris and Satinder
