Dear Mattingley families and friends,
This week in the Mattingley Room the
children have been exploring their fine motor skills through threading coloured
beads onto string.
We have also been busy creating clothing
for little cardboard bodies using the playdough and natural materials. This was
inspired by Clementine as she shared her experience from home of creating
clothing out of playdough for her dolls. Her friends really enjoyed this
experience.
On Tuesday, we walked up to the Big School
to play on the Rainbow Playground with the Cooper and Mead Rooms. The children
enjoyed the water play, climbing on the equipment and making new friendships
with the children from the other classes.
On the way back to the ELC, the
children were fascinated with the piles of sand and the machinery that were at
work in the school grounds. They stood on the footpath watching the bobcat pick
up piles of sand and communicated amongst themselves with excitement.
We have had so much fun these holidays and
we look forward to the start of Term 4 next week.
Enjoy your weekend,
Liana and Emma
