Angwin

Dear Angwin Parents,

We had a fun packed week this week despite the hot weather.

Edgerley children and Angwin children worked really hard together to help us rearrange our workshop. Their ideas were very creative yet practical.

We played Jenga and other board games in our classroom when the weather was quite hot. It was very impressive to see children using various ways to figure out which piece of the blocks is loose and which one can be easily removed from the Jenga tower. They used their logical thinking skills to survive in the game and peer scaffolding was evident through the game.

We also enjoyed doing gardening with our Edgerley friends. Charlotte came up the idea of planting some watermelon seeds. We read a story about what could happen if we swallowed watermelon seeds and planted some watermelon seeds to see what will happen.

The children also enjoyed having water play and getting wet, they then met with the other classes and watched a movie.
  
Your Sincerely,

Wenting
