Dear Mattingley
families and friends,
This week, after
taking Chloe's advice of not giving up, we finished off making our paper. Now
we just need to decide what we are going to use it for?
The children's interest in minibeasts
continues to take off as children engaged in illustrating their thoughts
and ideas at the light table while looking at many specimens.Their
concentration was evident in the amount of time they spent in this experience, working out the details of their work and the knowledge they have
acquired throughout our explorations. Some children have even managed to
incorporate Christmas into their illustrations and language.
"A
bug! A colouring in bug!", Alice said as she drew the outline of her bug
and coloured it in.
"A ding dong
bug! Christmas bugs with eggs", added Chloe.
"A
christmas spider and bug. Oh man! That's the biggest one with too many
legs!", commented Billy.
"A moth.
It's got wings, legs and sucker", said Lochlann.
"A
butterfly, head, legs, eyes and wings!", muttered James.
"A ladybird.
A Christmas one", added Annaliese.
"A beetle
with long antennas and many many legs", explained William
"I made an
insect!", said Fred.
We would like to
say a big thank you to all our families that came to watch our Nativity
performance. We had lots of fun preparing for our special day and hope you
enjoyed it as much as we did.
