Our kindergarten swap with Somerville kindergarten





We have been counting down the sleeps ... and finally the day arrived! What a buzz of excitement in the air! For those of you who do not know what a kindergarten swap is .... its as simple as this. We all got on the bus and went to Somerville kindergarten for the morning, then we waved good bye to the children from Somerville kindergarten as they boarded the bus to spend the morning at our kindergarten. What a fabulous morning. Fun for the children. Professional development for the teacher. And fantastic support from our wonderful kindergarten parents as they provided supervision to meet required ratios for trips.
