Mattingley


Dear Mattingley families and friends,
We have had a very busy week in the Mattingley classroom exploring colours. We continued to experiment with colours by mixing different colours together to work out how to make the colour orange.
Blue and purple and yellow make grey. – Isaac

Red and yellow is orange.- Ashlynn
I’m mixing the colours in, yellow and red. Then it makes orange!- Harrison

Together we added an orange spot on our colourful canvas. In the art room the children found a fantastic selection of orange craft things, and combined with the beautiful things the children had brought in from home we collaged our orange spot. Our masterpiece is starting to take form and is looking great! You can find it above the lockers. We will be collecting yellow items for next week.
Also this week we have been exploring the job role of Police Officers, who are in fact Super Heroes in our eyes. The children have been having lots of fun dressing up as Police Officers in our classroom police station, leading to many discussions on what Police Officers do to help us in our community.

They help people. They tidy up.- Poppy
They put people in jail.- Toby

Police officers do things.- Dominic
They got hats.- Robert

Police officers have keys to open the hand cuffs coz if the people don’t listen to the Police Officer. – Isaac
We will continue these discussions next week, further exploring what Police Officers do as part of their jobs to help us.

We hope you all have a fantastic weekend,
Kimberley and Coral
