Edgerley

Dear Edgerley Parents,

This week we have been closely observing silk worms in our classroom. We have learnt the hard way that they are fragile and must be handled carefully.

Their skin is so soft - Lotti

They are wiggly - Ollie

I can see their leaves - Ed

We have enjoyed harvesting mulberry leaves for them to eat and have been very surprised at how fast they consume them. If you have any silk items at home that are not fragile we would love to see what their cocoons are turned into.

This week we also had a few blood noses from children picking them. This started a discussion about how we can keep our bodies safe. Educators were impressed with how many different ways the children could think to look after their bodies. In the end we decided to trace the shape of Aaron so that we could record all of our ideas.

Wear your hat - Stirling

Or wear a helmet when you are on a motorbike - Will P

Brush your teeth - Sebi

Check if there are any cars - Lewis

Or they might run over you - Sebi

Eat steamed fish - Isaac C

Put on your suncream - Lotti

Don’t be clumsy and bump into poles - Emilia

Wear your seat belt - Aston

As part of this discussion the children also mentioned "having privacy” and then decided that what is in underpants is private.

We have also begun to prepare for our upcoming Nativity and have enjoyed sharing the story of the first Christmas and learning some of our songs.

Lost jumper: Stirling has misplaced not one, but TWO clearly named jumpers!! Please can you take a look at home to see if they have made their way to your house and return ASAP. Thank you.  

Have a lovely weekend

Mel, Emma and Chris
