Mattingley Room




We have had a busy week in the Mattingley room exploring our PYP topic 'Body and Mind' by having many individual and small group discussions about our bodies, the different parts and what they do. Our focus this week has been on faces and the different features that make up our faces. The children have been using play dough to make faces, discussing the features they have added to their play dough face and why. This has been lots of fun! Many of the children have also  begun drawing their own portraits by looking in a mirror and drawing what they see. Once we have finished these beautiful portraits they will be on display for you to share with your child.

 Just a quick reminder that we have our next Library lesson Monday morning at 10.55am. If you could possibly arrive at the centre with enough time for your child to settle into the classroom before we need to move up to the Prep school we would really appreciate it. This will just allow your children to settle and enjoy our Library lesson.

Thank you,

Kimberley and Coral
