Dear
Mattingley families and friends,
What
a busy week we have had in the Mattingley classroom this week. We had two very
special young ladies celebrating their birthdays with their friends this week.
We would like to say a very big happy birthday to our good friends Poppy and
Erin.
We really do love sharing our friend’s birthdays with them, however in
the future, due to a significant rise in food allergies and intolerance's a
decision has been made that birthday cakes will now be made in our school
kitchen if you wish for your child to share one with their friends. As per the information that Melanie sent last week, all you need to do is give us
a few days notice and we will put in an order to the kitchen for a small
donation, and a wonderful cake will arrive on your child’s special day. Its a very simple process.
We have also spent a lot of time this week continuing with our
train project. There were many discussions on how to keep safe around the train
tracks. Harry BB, who knows a lot about trains said that it was the “ding a
dingas” that warn the cars that a train is coming and tell them when to stop.
After a little research with Miss Bowden on the classroom computers they worked
out that they were called ‘rail way crossings’. The children worked very hard
together to make their own rail way crossing for our classroom train station.
On Thursday William and Harry H were externally busy in our block
area making a wonderful construction with the large wooden blocks.
It’
a truck- Will
No
it’s a tractor. It’s a tractor truck- Harry HIt mows and it goes very fast and
it picks up all the bins and puts it in the rubbish- Will
It’s so cool- Harry H
The names are for the kids to hop on- Harry H
These bits (pine cones) make it go very fast. It’s a really fast
one- Will
It was great watching both Harry and Will use their problem solving
skills, working together and including all their friends in their wonderful
creation.
Next
week’s show and tell is: 'What is
something that I learnt to do this year that I couldn’t do last year'?
We
hope you all have a lovely weekend,
Kimberley
& Coral
