Dear Edgerley Families,
This week we have continued to explore symbols and their
meanings and have created a chart of our own attempts to illustrate symbols we
have collected.
Some mums have been lucky enough to receive the most fabulous
button rings, do you know what a ring symbolises? Together we tried to find the
beginning and end of Mrs Bishops wedding ring, we discovered that it goes round
and round forever and we decided that a ring is supposed to symbolise forever.
Next week we will use symbols to represent and record information. This week we
also continued with our portraiture project, wow! What wonderful artists we
are. Inspired by Vincent, Henri and Sidney, our portraits are full of facial
details and the children have taken great consideration as they have observed
themselves in the mirror. Our finished results are sensational.
A new interest
has popped up this week that saw us scurrying to collect brightly coloured
Autumn leaves. Mrs Bishop wondered why the leaves that had been green a few
weeks ago were now red and yellow. Had someone been out painting them? Charlie P
explained “No Mrs Bishop, they change because the cold is surrounding them!”.
We plan to explore this theory further.
We enjoyed visiting Junior Primary
Chapel this week as part of our transition program. We listened to the PAC boys
singing beautifully about saying please and thank you and particularly liked
the listening song lead by Mrs Bell. It was great to see some big boys receive
honour certificates, they looked very proud of themselves. We also had a visit
from one of our buddy classes who came to the ELC to perform “The Cow Tripped
Over the Moon”. Another jam packed week.
Have a wonderful weekend
From Mel, Cris and Emma
