Mattingley

Dear Mattingley Families and Friends,

We have had a very busy and exciting week in the Mattingley classroom. On Tuesday we shared a very special book called Anzac biscuits by Phil Cummings and Owen Swan. It was a special story about a little girl and her mummy who were making Anzac biscuits to send to daddy who was at war. This made us think about how lucky we are, and to celebrate we made Anzac biscuits of our own. They were very yummy!

On Wednesday when we came to school we saw that our last butterfly had come out of its chrysalis and was stretching its beautiful wings. We watched is practice how to move its wings getting ready to fly, and on Thursday we released it outside in the flowers garden. While it was still learning how to use its wings it flew to some of the long grass and became tangled up, so together we rescued it. This was a very special moment for Poppy and her Mummy as they carefully held the delicate butterfly and took it over to the flowers once again.

On Friday we celebrated Miss Bowden’s birthday by making a very yummy chocolate cake and sharing it together. We sang happy birthday and asked what she did on her stay at home day on Thursday (her actual birthday) to celebrate. She told us she had a very relaxing day getting her hair done, her nails painted and going out for a special birthday dinner. We love celebrating birthdays in the Mattingley classroom.

Happy Birthday Miss Bowden!

Please remember that next Thursday is our Princess Tea party. We are looking forward to celebrating our Mummies together at this special event.

Wishing you all a very happy weekend,

Kimberley Mason & Coral Bowden
