Thank you to all the families who came along to our 3 YO picnic on Wednesday 1st November. It was lovely for our 3 YO families to finally be able to come in for a get together. The children loved showing their parents around and for the parents to have a chance to casually chat and get to know one another.
Thank you to those that have already completed our Parent Surey.
For those that have not yet completed our Survey, you can do so, by either clicking on the button below or use the QR code that you will also find in the foyer at the kinder.
The Survey is a great opportunity for families to give us feedback so we can improve what we offer for future children and their families. It should only take 5 minutes to complete.
A number of families have been driving into the staff car park and either parking and bringing children in to the kinder, or dropping off someone to walk children in to the kinder. These cars are then reversing and performing U-turns in the tight car park, whilst other families are walking up the driving way. This is creating a very dangerous situation.
Families are NOT to be driving into the staff carpark at any time. They are not to park or drive in to drop off. We understand that the works at the reserve are making parking a little difficult, but using the staff car park is not an option.
The children continue to be so busy! A favourite experience at the moment in the 4 YO program is the big trucks in the raised bed out in the yard. The children are enjoying working along side the trucks in the reserve. The children have also enjoyed getting messy and using some larger hand muscles making slime! This is such a great experience to build all those hand and arm muscles needed to have the stamina and strength for writing tasks next year in Foundation.
The 3 YO's had a visit from Drummer Joe recently. This is always an exciting incursion. The children were introduced to all parts of the drum kit and explored tone, pitch, tempo and rhythms by using their bodies, singing, dancing and playing different percussion instruments. All the children had the opportunity to play on the drum kit at the end of the session which is always a big ‘hit’ (pardon the pun)!
Be sure to check out the events page of the Newsletter to find out about the delicious items we are selling for Christmas! These items are also available to the Kinder families and can be paid for on QKR! with the items delivered to the children by Wednesday 13th December. More information will come out via email.
