Dear Mattingley families and friends,
This week we took part in many
different activities to celebrate Book Week. Throughout the week we looked at
some book baskets that had clues in them to see if we could guess what the
story we would be reading might be. The class quickly worked out that the bowl
of porridge, the little chair and little bed was referring to Goldilocks and
the Three Bears. One of our book baskets introduced us to a book that none of
the children had read before and this was the Enormous Turnip.
We were also visited by some of
the Year 2 boys who came to read us some of their favourite books and on
Wednesday Mr. Evans joined us to read us a couple of his favourite picture
books including The Snail and The Whale by Julia Donaldson. On Thursday
morning, the children were all dressed up as characters from different books
ready to partake in our Book Week Parade. It was lots of fun to show off our
costumes to the other classes and see theirs.
Apart from exploring a range of books this week some of the
children have enjoyed playing with the musical instruments in the Town Square.
Miss Ruggiero – Why do you like playing the instruments?
Dylan – Because even I can make a noise
Riani – Because I love it
Sarina – Because it’s shaky
Zak – Cos it’s fun
We are looking forward to discovering more about
instruments and making more music together.
Have a great weekend,
Cass
and Liana
