Specialist taught lessons in the Pre Prep add variety, creativity, breadth and skills development to an already rigorous curriculum. The giant Roly-Poly Bird created by Year 2 in their art lessons with Mrs Mellini, makes a fabulous impact in our hall at the moment. This bird appears in several Roald Dahl books including The Twits and is somewhat of a hero. The children are so proud of their own contribution to its magnificent plumage.
The World Languages programme of study is also adding an exciting dimension to learning. In Pre-School the children spontaneously say thank you for their snack in Mandarin and were proud to show me the little drums they had made, decorated brightly in red. A pupil in Year 1 discovered with her daddy that there is a part of Patagonia where people speak Welsh; as a keen geographer I had never heard about this, proving that you are never too old to learn! Music and PE specialists also play their part in adding to the development of our pupils in the spirit of an all round education that Edge Grove is so renowned for and which is so valued by us all.
