Dear Mattingley Room families and
friends,
This week in the Mattingley Room we have
further explored Feelings and Emotions.
We have a space in our learning environment where the children can
create and talk through some of the emotions that they have experienced or
noticed in others.
Incorporating the ‘Keeping Safe Child
Protection Curriculum’, we are having conversations to discuss the idea that all
feelings are valid, and role playing strategies to support those who are
feeling sad.
We are demonstrating great care and
responsibility for our outdoor environment.
The children were galvanised into action when they noticed the
strawberry plants were wilting so
buckets, and copious amounts of water were heaved over to the veggie
patch. Great teamwork too.
We have been inspired by the Adelaide
500 to engage in vehicular experiences.
Process art with cars to race through the paint, the song “Highway
Number 1” (which needs no excuse to sing as it is a favourite in the Mattingley
Room!), and human car races in our outdoor environment, ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ two
wheeled vehicles in the Workshop got in on the act as well.
Take care of each other.
From Melissa and Georgia
