Dear Mattingley Families and friends,
This week we have been lucky enough to have Bella Green, a year 10
student from Glenunga International High School, doing her work
experience. The children have loved having her in the classroom and she
has been learning a lot from us, especially all about frogs.
Speaking about frogs one of our little tadpoles has out grown his
tail and has become frog. The children have been watching him
swim closely and have begun to notice the differences in him
now.
"He likes to go on the rock, not so much the water"-
Angus
"He swims lots. He rests on the rock"- Eva
"He eats the crickets we have to put in his tank"- Harrison
On Tuesday we started a friendship that Miss White from the Cooper
room gave us. His name is Herman and he is a sourdough cake starter. He needs
to sit on our bench top for 10 days without a lid, covered with a tea towel.
We will need to follow the instructions that he came with closely
because if he stops bubbling then he is no good. We will be cooking our
friendship cake next Thursday, and we will make sure that all the children get
a piece. Please feel free to come and have a look at Herman. He is in the green
bowl on the bench in the classroom. We are all very excited to watch him grow
over the next week. Thank you Miss White for passing your friendship cake on to
us, we will make sure we take good care of him.
Have a great weekend,
From the Mattingley team
