Dear Mattingley families and friends,
This week
the children have been investigating Chinese New Year and how it is
celebrated. As part of this celebration we had three year 10 International
Students from the Middle School as well as some of our ELC Teachers preform a
Lion chance for us. It was very loud, a little bit frighting and very exciting.
The children were all very brave as they played music and fed it their red
envelopes for good luck in the new year.
