Dear Mattingley families and friends
It's been another fun packed week in the Mattingley room.
Our trip to the Odeon Theatre to watch The Patch Theatre company
perform "Emily loves to bounce" was very well loved by our Tuesday
children. The look of joy and fascination on their faces was just priceless.
The show will go on until the 20th of August so if you have time to spare and
score tickets, it would be a lovely family event to be a part of.
This week the Friday children were so fascinated by a big bird's
nest that Oliver brought in as part of his show and tell.
"I got this with my mummy when we went to the country to
visit some family. We drive in the car for a long time and we saw tractors and
some sheep. we found this on the ground. I don't know which tree it came from.
it's very big", Oliver shared.
This sharing sparked a discussion among the children.

We will see where the children takes this investigation in the

well too while she rests up at home.
