This term is very busy, there is so much to celebrate in the world around us.
The overarching goal and theme present in our planning will be community. We have 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 off weeks creating super cool lanterns and dressing up all scary for Halloween. On our infamous pancake Tuesday we had spooky scary green pancakes. For the wonderful recycling week we tried our hand at making our own recycled paper. The weather has been so lovely we have been utilizing the shade sails and deck to do our arts and crafts.
Book for next week's very cool ocean week activities.

We are raising crucial funds to support kids in foster care, and need your help to reach my goal.
Foster children often face constant change—new homes, new schools—which can deeply disrupt their education and chances to thrive. Without the right support, they risk falling behind, struggling with mental health, and facing challenges later in life.
But we can change that. Your donation today will help The Pyjama Foundation provide dedicated mentors, known as "Pyjama Angels," to children in care.
These mentors inspire confidence, boost learning, and give kids the life skills they need to succeed. Whether it’s reading, playing educational games, or just being a positive role model, Pyjama Angels are changing lives.
On Fairy Bread Day, the after school care kids sprinkles some magic and make a real impact together. We celebrated mental health and added a smile to everyone's face with a DIY fairy bread station.
Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to brighter futures for foster kids.
Thank you for your support and for making a real difference!
