We have been very busy with so many activities and events over the past couple of weeks.  Below are some snapshots of all the fun and learning we have been up to!

Science Expo

Waratah Group had a great time exploring the Science Expo on Friday last week.  They really enjoyed seeing what the Primary School students had been working on1  It is great for them to see what they will get to do one day too!!

Father's Day Celebrations

We hope all the Dads/Grandfathers and Special friends had a great day celebrating on the 2nd of Sept.  It was so lovely to have so many visitors join our 4 YO groups and have some breakfast/morning tea and let the children show their Dads and special people around the kinder.  

Footy Day

Over the course of the last week of Kinder for the term all the groups have celebrated Footy Day.  The children have enjoyed either Pies/Sausage Rolls or Hot Dogs for lunch, with vegetarian options and had a chance to kick the football and run around all whilst displaying their favourite sports team colours!   It is great to see many different sporting leagues represented as well as such a variety of teams.  Good luck to anyone supporting a team in the upcoming finals!
