Dear Mattingley Families and
Friends,
As we are constantly
encouraging the children to make meaningful marks as they explore the concept
of writing we are also supporting their fine motor skills. We have noticed that
despite the presence of paintbrushes many of the children enjoy using their hands
and fingers when painting. We embraced this and removed the paint brushes
encouraging the children to use their hands, fingers and other tools to create
their artwork.
We have also had a very
exciting week leading up to Sports Day on Friday. We talked about the
importance of keeping our bodies hydrated, having a go and encouraging our
friends.
Miss Ruggiero
- Why do we need to drink water when we exercise?
Clementine – We get hot then
we drink some water
Miss Ruggiero - How do we
feel if we don’t drink enough water?
Angus – Yuck
Harry - Tired
After the fun filled morning
we sat down and reflected on what our favourite parts of the day were.
Ethan – The tunnel
Kaeshav – The whole day
Lachlan – I liked the bit
with the parrot chute
Ben – Running! I love it
Thanks to all the parents who
came and helped and supported the Mattingley class on Thursday.
I will be on holidays for the
next two weeks. Liana and Emma Gray have a lot of fun activities planned for
the holiday time.
Have a lovely long weekend,
Cass and Emma
