Dear Mattingley Families and
Friends,
What a busy week we have had
together as we continue to explore colours in our classroom. Miss Bowden made a
fantastic game with the children earlier in the week where they had to remember
their colours to find which house the little mouse was hiding under. Most of us
know all of our colours and we are all getting very good at working out what
colour paints to mix together to make our favourite colours.
During the week some of our
families brought in lots of beautiful yellow craft items to add to our colourful
canvas. We had a lot of fun collaging it together. We are going to have to make
our yellow spot a little bigger on our canvas, as yellow seems to be a popular
colour in our classroom. Next week we will be focusing on the colour blue.
If you have any blue craft items you would like to bring in we would love to
add them to our master piece.
Over the last few weeks we have
been observing our ELC veggie patch very closely, watching the plants change
and grow. On Friday morning our friend Harry H called out to us,
“Look! The tomato is bigger, much
bigger!”
“Is it ready?” Miss Mason asked
Harry.
“No it green. It need to be red.
Then it ready!” Harry told us excitedly.
We will have to make sure that we
keep a close eye on the tomatoes so we know when it is ready for us to pick.
Harry will have to tell us when the time is right. We can’t wait to eat them!
Please feel free to take a stroll through our outdoor learning environment to
look at our wonderful veggie garden. The children have helped take care of the
gardens and are very excited to see how much the vegetables have grown each
time they come to care.
We hope you have a wonderful
weekend,
Kimberley and Coral
