Dear Mattingley Families and Friends,
This week we have been investigating Chinese New Year
and how it is celebrated. As part of this Celebration we had the year 10
International Students from the Middle School come and perform a Lion dance for
us. It was very loud, a little bit frightening and very exciting. The children
were all very brave.
I
loved the red lion- Fred
I
loved the yellow lion- Lachlan B
It
went ROAR! I love the yellow one that done that!- Alice
They

Pretty
scary- Edward
They
were just boys pretending- Sam
The

On Tuesday we made pancakes together and shared them to celebrate
Shrove Tuesday. We spoke about Easter and how we celebrate with our
families.
I get eggs! Chicken eggs- Edith
Pepper Pig eggs- Alice
I have chocolate- Eloise
There's a ballerina in my house. It spins around- Laila
On Thursday we had a special visit from Rusty who brought with him
his Monster Truck. He spoke with the children about how he became a Monster
Truck driver and how he gets into his truck because it is very big. This lead
to some wonderful conversations back in the classroom.
He climbed up to the top- Sam
he climbed underneath- Marcel
It's dangerous- Paxton (that's why Mummy doesn't drive like that)
It's got big big wheels- Fred
I like the monster truck- Jasmine
He wears a hair cap- Chloe (to keep safe)
He ears a helmet- Felix
Phew!! What a busy week we have had!
We would also like to wish Mrs Rocca all the best for her wedding
this weekend. She has been married to her wonderful husband Tony for seven
years and they are renewing their vows this Saturday. We can't wait to see
some beautiful photos on Tuesday Mrs Rocca.
