Mattingley Room



Another wonderful week has passed us by in the Mattingley room. We have continued to explore our bodies by looking at the fantastic skeleton one of our families has donated to our centre. After discussions around the skeleton and our bones the children used cotton tips to paint their own skeletons on black paper. You will find these on display in our doctor/hospital dramatic play area next week.

On Friday we walked over to the Prep school to see if we could spot any of the race cars. The children loved hearing the loud roar of the cars which sparked many discussions about what they were doing.

"To win a medal. Actually to win a big trophy"- Harrison
"They are chasing each other"- Louis
"They are so so loud. The people are walking to watch them"- Angelina

Thank you again to all our families who have been donating bits and pieces to our centre. We really do appreciate it and the children love being creative and exploring all the different materials.

 Wishing you all a happy weekend.
