Happy Birthday Christopher

Happy Birthday Christopher!! What a bright and bubbly birthday boy you turned out to be. You did such great writing on your birthday card. We are sad to say goodbye to you but we know you'll have a great time at Shelly Park School with your brothers. Please come and visit us in your new school uniform!

I like your tee shirt Bronwyn. You look just like a friesian cow.

Georgia, you were so excited when you saw my black and white tee shirt. "I like your tee shirt," you said. "You look just like a friesian cowsʻ. Do you know that I grew up on a farm and like you I love friesian cows. I know that you stay on a farm when you go to Australia. Do they have fresian cows?

Fabulous fathersʻ night

Perfect weather and great company. Thatʻs our fathersʻ night. The children were just so excited to have their Dadʻs just to themselves. It certainly makes you feel pretty special, doesnʻt it? And what a super bunch of Dadʻs we have. They slid, swung, hammered and dug. But most importantly, the Dadʻs took time to engage with their child through the childʻs portfolio (not just a quick look, but a thorough examination of each page). Thanks to all the Dads who came along. One child also had her Poppa and great grandad at kindergarten ... three generations. How cool is that!

Danielleʻs Bag

Danielle, you were very impressed when you spied the sewing that some of the children had completed. There was nothing for it, you decided you just had to make a bag. The first task was to design the bag by drawing a pattern on the paper and cutting it out. Oh, there are just so many decisions to make! What size? What shape? Then it was the time to choose the material, place the pattern and cut it out. The sewing on the sewing machine was one part that needed a bit of Bronwynʻs help. In with the zip and sew around the edges and then there was the bag of your dreams. How cool!

Happy 5th Birthday Madison!!

Happy Birthday Ryan

Ryan, what a excellent writing on your birthday card. You were impressed with the speed of your writing! we are so pleased that you are going to stay with us until the end of the year.

A very special gift

Maverick (and family), what a very special gift you left at our kindergarten. This book was written by the librarian at Baverstock Oaks School. We were really delighted when we opened the book and found a personal message in it to us from Christine Hurst, the author. Such a signing makes a special book even more special. We might just have to contact Christine to see if she would like to come to the kindergarten to read her book to our children. I wonder what she will say? Thank you Maverick.
