Acknowledging Daffodil Day

Today we celebrated Daffodil Day. When we arrived at Kindergarten there was a display at the playdough table symbolising a bunch of Daffodils, a gorgeous poem on the big screen about why Daffodil day is important and an some art activities, including painting Daffodils and activity sheets from the Cancer Society. A number of us really enjoyed painting daffodils and we created some very beautiful pictures. We had a wonderful time acknowledging the importance of supporting such a worthy cause.

Olympic Excitement

Throughout the olympics, the children have been very sports orientated. We had our very own olympics over at the school and have created many different opportunities for the children to experience some of the olympic sports. The children have also been creating some of these experiences all on their own.

Lara and Yu Xi decided to have a bit of a bike race. They went round and round as fast as their legs could pedal. It's really lovely to see the competitive sides of the children come out. They get so focussed on the task at hand and give it their best. Lara and Yu Xi, it was so great to see you having such a great time with the bikes and each other.
Love Kerry

Disco Fever

On Friday 15 August we had our Kindergarten disco. It was a terrible rainy night but many of our children and their families braved the weather and boogied the night away. We did the Limbo, the Macerena, chicken dance and danced to favourite songs like Bob the Builder. It was a really fun night. Plenty of the parents danced too which was so exciting to see! Thank you to our committee for putting everything together, everyone who helped on the day, and to everyone who came along and made our disco a great success.

old versus the new

Kindergarten teaching is full of delights and never more so than on the day that Jemma engaged our reliever, Margaret in conversation. For a few Wednesdays last term all three of the regular teachers were on teacher release to discuss and write up the research. Each time our regular relievers would be on hand to hold the fort. Jemma said, ʻall the old teachers are here today and the young teachers are in the room". On being told the story I was quite elated to be categorised with the young teachers. But then Margaret burst my bubble! She said "Then Jemma thought about it and added, "no, two are young and one is old!" A short lived moment of glory!

Bronwynʻs new puppy

Guess what ... Bronwyn has a new puppy. He is a Labradoodle and his name is Zac.
Do you think he is cute?

Archieʻs Puppies

Archie, thank you for bringing in your puppies today. They are SO beautiful.
They are six week old golden retriever puppies ... and so soft. They are getting ready to go to their new homes. We know that you have six puppies. What a busy household that must be and what a lucky boy you are to have such an awesome experience.

Movie Night

Our annual movie night is an opportunity for us all to come to kindergarten in our pyjamas. Sausages, popcorn, drink and great company ... what more can you ask. Thanks, as always, must go to all our helpers on the night.
