Mattingley

Dear Mattingley families and friends,

What beautiful friends we have in our classroom. We have been having lots of fun playing name games and getting to know each other over the last few weeks. Some friends already knew each other from the Langley classroom, but we do have lots of children who are new to our ELC, and it has been lovely to see everyone taking such beautiful care of each other. Lola is always close by with a cuddle for anyone who is needing a hug. Alannah is always ready to help someone out , especially if they need help with their shoes. Nathan always asks what is wrong when someone is upset and needs a friend to look out for them. This had us thinking about how we feel about our friends.

We love our friends- Alannah
When you cuddle somebody then you love them- Kaeshav
We take care of them- Lachlan
Love means you give them a cuddle- Sarina
It means you give someone a hug and a kiss- Phoenix
It means you love somebody else- Teddy

Later in the week Sarina had a great idea.
Can we make ginger bread?

We all thought this sounding like fun, but we weren't really sure what we needed to make ginger bread. Together, using our iPad we began to search for the perfect recipe. 
That one. I can see the buttons- Phoebe exclaimed. 

After looking at the recipe and writing the shopping list to give to Miss Kim in the kitchen we started brain storming what else we might need.

A spoon- Phoebe
A bowl. For mixing- Sarina
Peanuts- Teddy
Chocolate- Dylan
Eggs- Kaeshav
1 egg- Didier
10 eggs- Levi
Tea pots for tea- Mack
Buttons and little chocolate eyes- Sarina
Sprinklers. So we can decorate our ginger bread men- Alannah

We can't wait to make our ginger bread cookies next week. 

Kimberley and Liana
