Dear Mattingley Families and Friends,
What an amazing week we have had this week. Mrs Cooper has kindly
left us with two Spiny Leaf insects to look after. With Mrs Rocca's help we
have made them a safe home in a class vase so we can have a closer look. Some
of our courageous friends took an even closer look at them by
holding them in their hands. From their observations we found that they
have 6 very sticky legs that like to cling on and climb - especially our friends
bodies in the classroom.
He's on my arm. He feels soft- Edie
He's playing with my eyelash- Lochlann
Incey wincey spider- Lilah
I'm brave to touch him- Laila
He's crawling everywhere- Walter
I will rescue them if they come out of their home- Felix
We look forward to watching them grow over the next few months.
Please feel free to have a closer look when you come into our classroom. They
are fascinating to watch.
What an amazing week we have had celebrating Book Week. On Tuesday Mr Coleman came down from the Library to share some of his favourite
books with us. On Thursday we took part in a reading flash mob, making our way
over to the top oval in the morning, sharing 'Wombat stew', which is one of our
very favourites.
On Friday we had so many wonderful characters come to ELC, we
couldn't believe our eyes. It was so wonderful to see the children's excitement
and wonder as they talked about who they were dressed up as and why they loved
the book that their character came from. We had lots of fun showing off our
wonderful costumes in the parade and playing together in our outdoor learning
environment. We would like to say a big thank you to all our families that put
together such fantastic costumes. Everyone looked fabulous.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
Mrs Kimberley Mason and Mrs Coney Rocca
