Mattingley

Dear Mattingley families and friends,

What a wonderful term we have had together. We are not really sure where the weeks have gone, but we know we have learnt a lot together, especially about forests. We can't wait for our excursion next Thursday morning. Hopefully our 'rain away' dances will keep the rain away, just for the morning. Please make sure you fill in a bring back your new consent forms.

Tuesday morning we had 'Sea Star Rock' come to our ELC to perform for us. We had lots of fun dancing with the wonderful sea creatures that came to visit us, teaching us how to take care of the ocean that they live in.

This term we have been very lucky to have Erin from Dancify teach us some very groovy new dances. We hope all the parents who were able to come for our mini concert Friday morning enjoyed the show! We certainly had lots of fun performing them for you. We would like to say a very big thank you to Erin, who bought her energy and enthusiasm with her each week as she worked with the children to create some wonderful dances. It was lovely to see the children expressing themselves though dance, moving their bodies and having lots of fun. We saw confidence grow each week, as some children stepped outside their comfort zone and participated with enthusiasm as the weeks went on. We hope that Erin will come back next year.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
