Dear Mattingley
Families and friends,
What a wonderful
first week of term 4 we have had together. The children have continued
observing our phasmids, drawing detailed pictures of their observations.
They are becoming experts on these wonderful minibeasts, and are taking great
care of them. They are much braver then Mrs Mason, letting them crawl
over their hands and bodies. Mrs Rocca seems to have lost count on just how
many we have. We wonder if you can spot them all?
This week has
seen us eagerly preparing for our Sports Day. The children were excited to
share with each other what colour house they are in and what mascot their team
has. To celebrate the children were given the opportunity to make a Sports Day collage, sorting out the colours that they needed for their house. This was
also a great opportunity for them to begin to practice writing their name.
We are going to continue our focus on meaningful mark making this term,
developing our fine motor skills.
We would like to
say a big thank you to all our parents and grandparent who took part in our ELC Sports Day on Thursday morning. It is always a lot of fun to be a part of, and
we couldn't have done it without your help. The children had a fantastic
morning show you all the different gross motor skills that they have been
practising with Mr Barton in our weekly PE lessons. It has been an amazing
journey watching them develop the skills that they needed to be able to
tackle all the wonderful things that Mr Barton has been teaching us. Especially
the obstacle course.
