Mattingley

Dear Mattingley families and friends,

We been thinking a lot about houses this week and have had many in-depth discussions about 'What is a house', sharing with each other about who lives in our house with and what it looks like. 

"It has door."- Cameron
"It has bricks and lots of toys in it."- Augustin
"It has a roof, because when it rains if you don't have a roof it will get you."- Scarlett
"I live with Mum and Dad, and baby is lives in mum's tummy." - Sujay

These discussions have lead the children to build some wonderful houses in the block corner. It has been lovely to see them working together and explaining to each other the different parts that their houses have and adding them to their buildings. 

We have also begun to talk about animal's homes which we will continue on with next week. The children seem to really be loving this unit of inquiry. It has given them many opportunities to share with their peers what they know. If you have any pictures of your houses or any houses in your family we would love a copy in our classroom. We are making a class collage of houses and it would be nice for you child to have their house there to share with their friends. 

Wishing you all a safe weekend,
The Mattingley Team.
