This term has been jam-packed, We have celebrated so many amazing weeks at TheirCare.
The overarching goal and theme present in our planning was community and the world around us. We had weeks celebrating Halloween/ Diwali, the Melbourne Cup/ Remembrance Day, Worldwide Recycling Week and Fairy Bread Day. We have had so much fun the last couple of weeks creating super cool lanterns and dressing up all scary for Halloween. Our infamous pancake Tuesday, got a makeover with spooky scary green pancakes to celebrate. For the wonderful recycling week, we tried our hand at making our own recycled paper. The children loved it so much that we extended this activity for the last 4 Thursdays turning our paper into shapes for our Christmas card. The weather has been so lovely we have been utilizing the shade sails and deck to do our arts and crafts. I also must mention the wonderful new class mascot Pengy. We have built Pengy a home hidden behind our whiteboard and the children love making hats, jewellery and food for Pengy.
