Dear Parents,
Book Week arrived
with gusto in the ELC this week and the Edgerley children have been
enjoying the activities on offer. We have been sharing our favourite stories in
class, and have been busy investigating a variety of 'story baskets' with
clues in them, where we have managed to guess which Fairy Tale they represent.
In our Town Square we have tents set up as special quiet reading nooks to
snuggle into with our favourite story books. On Wednesday we had
a special visit from our Headmaster, Mr Fenner, to read his favourite
story to us.
Our highlight is always our Book Week character
parade which was held on Thursday. You have no idea how many
various characters arrived in the Edgerley Room, such a variety of
personalities and costumes!
As Father's Day
is approaching we have begun busying ourselves with preparations for our
Big Boys Breakfast on 31st August. We have some wonderful surprises in store
for our dads who play such an important role in our lives. We just can't give
too many surprises away at this stage, but you are in store for a treat!
On our walk up to
PE last week the children noticed the beautiful blossom trees that are
blooming at the moment. They were very interested in painting it and so we
looked at some Japanese blossom paintings as our inspiration for creating our
own artworks. We used straws to blow black food dye to create our branches and
then used cotton buds to dab on our blossoms. The results were spectacular!
Come and have a look in our room at our gallery.
Best wishes,
Emma, Mel and
Chris
