Dear
Mattingley families and friends,
To celebrate Shrove Tuesday, the beginning of
Lent, the Mattingley children made pancakes together. Together we then
read through the recipe to see what ingredients we needed before gathering
them, measuring them, cracking them and mixing them together. As we passed the
bowl around the table we all had a turn stirring before Mrs Mason cooked them
on the bbq. The children had to wait very patiently for them to be ready,
watching carefully as they sizzled away on the bbq. Finally the best part, we got to eat them!
This week the children set up a nursery in our
classroom home corner where
they were able to take care of all the baby dolls that had made their way into our classroom. It was lovely watching the children take such special care of their babies.
Miss Mason, In 5 minutes can you
please come to the house. I need help with the baby. He from the hospital- Hridhaan
I'm changing my baby. Now it needs pyjamas on. Baby done a wee. I change
her- Phoebe
My
baby is cold. I need to wrap her up in a blanket- Elsa
Later
in the week we could hear a rumbling in our classroom that came from outside of
the ELC. On Friday our friend Levi had a great idea. He wanted to see if we
could find the race cars that were making the loud rumbling noises we had been
hearing. Armed with our camera and our hats we made our way to the Rainbow
Playground in the reception yard. From the very top of the climbing
equipment, if you watched very carefully you could see a glimpse of the cars as
they spend around the race track. There was lots of excitement as the
children observed what was happening on the race track.
We
hear racing cars! I see a red one- Levi

If
you find yourselves at the races over the weekend we hope you have
a wonderful time taking in all the action. If not we are sure
you will have a great time spending time together. We look forward to hearing
all about your weekends during the week.
