Kinder Easter Joy

Kinder had a great time making their own Easter hat, singing Easter songs, following a recipe to make chocolate nests and finally enjoying an Easter egg hunt!

Autumn in Pre-Kindy

This week we have been learning all about the seasons with a particular focus on autumn. We have been reading stories, working on lots of craft activities and we even went on a ‘Leaf Hunt’ to find the perfect leaf. We discovered that when we look closely at the autumn leaves they all seem to have a flaw but are beautiful anyway. Using real leaves the children have made a beautiful display on our classroom window, be sure to check it out.
