Mattingley

Dear Mattingley families and friends,

What a busy week our classroom fire department has had responding to many emergencies around the place. This lead to many class discussions about what Fire Fighters do and what we can do if we see a fire. 

Hurry call the fire truck- Lola
Put the fire out- Elsa
Quick Miss Mason the phone is ringing! Where's the fire?- Mack
Nee naw, nee naw because there is a big fire!- Dylan
The fire fighter drives- Harry
They shoot water at the fire- Hugh
They put out the fire- Mack
Fire burns- Rocco
Water- Parker
We go outside- Ruby (if there is a fire in the classroom)
You have to stay outside- Alannah

We also spoke about what to do if there is a fire. We decided that we needed to tell an adult and call 000 to ask for a fire truck. We must listen to adults and follow what they say. It is not our job to fight the fire. Only when we are pretending in our classroom fire department. We are hoping that next term we will be able to arrange a Fire Truck to visit us. If you have  connections to any Fire Service we would love to welcome you into our classroom to help us build on our learning. 

On Thursday we celebrated Easter together as a whole ELC. Coming together in the Town Square we shared our special hats that we were wearing to celebrate Easter. It was wonderful to see all the creative designs and bunny ears. While Mrs Cooper shared a special Easter story you'll never guess who paid us a visit?

The Easter bunny- Hudson
We find eggs. There are baby chickens in them- Riani
No they chocolate. We eat them- Anthony

We wish you all a very happy and safe Easter long weekend. We look forward to hearing about all the children's adventures with their families next week. 

Kimberley and Liana
