"FINGER GYM" WEEK 3 AND 4

Box Hill North Kindergarten implemented a finger gym program for the 4 year old children to focus 30 minutes a week on fine motor activities. The 4 activities change each fortnight focuse on different aspects of fine motor e.g. pulling, pushing, strength, hand eye coordination and much more. Fine motor skills are an essential life skill and we are hoping to prepare the children for school and beyond.

This fortnight the experiences are:

• Snap cubes in number shapes
• Placing pipe cleaners through metal containers.
• Stretching elastic bands over spiky balls.
• Geo boards with elastics

You may like to try some of these simple experiences at home to help support the development of your child's fine motor skills.

CHARITY DRIVE!

Hi Families,

As part of our community connections, we are working with Pets Of The Homeless to collect items which are desperately in need.

There will be a donation box located outside the kindergarten classrooms that you are welcome to place any donations in. If they are too big, you are welcome to give them to your classroom teachers.

We will be taking donations now up until the 6th of September. Please refer to the attached handout on what can be donated!

I have attached the website for Pets Of The Homeless for you to see the amazing things that they do for the wider community.

Thank you so much for your support
