Mattingley


Our week in Mattingly with Miss Moir and Miss Gray started with a visit to the library to share stories about going on a space adventure. We then went on a visit to the Rainbow playground at the Preparatory School.

On Tuesday Our ‘Fairies and Pirates fantasy theme’ was in full swing with the creation of our very own pirate maps. We had fun thinking about where we think the secret treasure might be hidden in the outside yard. We had a movie session complete with our very own pop-corn as we watched the ‘Tinkerbelle movie’ with our friends in Cooper and Mead.

Wednesday was Fairy and Pirate dress-up day. Lots of the Mattingley children joined in the celebrations as we created Pirate hats and fairy wings to complete our costumes. Today we also finished our ‘Going on a Bear Hunt’ story board with the help of the Mattingley Children.

On Thursday we went on an Adventure throughout the school. Our morning started off in the Secret Garden where we enjoyed fruit with the Cooper and Mead children. We then went exploring through the College museum and finished our adventure at the Rainbow playground.

The week ended with a fun filled ‘Sports Day’ as all of our friends from Cooper and Mead joined us on the courts for some action packed sporting games and activities.

This week we have also been interested in home corner play, construction, recount, description and story telling.

What a fun and exciting start to our term three holidays.

We can’t wait to see what is in store for the Mattingley Room next week!

Miss Moir and Miss Gray
