Keeping Ourselves Safe

As part of our All About Me programme this week we have looked at 'Keeping Ourselves Safe'. Our Fire & Earthquake drills have prompted some wonderful discussion, especially about where our safe places are at home ... and where did we meet when there is a Fire or Earthquake.  Something you might like to discuss as a family.  Thanks to all our families for your input - the children now are able to share with us their Road/Street name & Rapid/Number and are beginning to share their phone numbers.  Well Done everyone.   We had a visit on Wednesday by Riley's Dad and our local Police Constable Greg Smith.  We had a great discussion about 'Keeping Ourselves Safe' before checking out the Police Car and especially the siren.  It was louddddddd ...

Check your Kindy pockets this week - we have a bus trip planned for Fri 5 Dec to the Invercargill Fire Station & as part of our Healthy Heart perspective a trip to the Invercargill Gym Club.   Next week we will begin making our Xmas decorations and put up our Xmas tree.  Have a great week.

SHOW US YOUR ..... GARDEN TOOLS.

A BIG thanks to everyone who was able to come along to our Working Bee on Saturday.  What a great turn out.  Lots of hard work, a few laughs and the drinks at the end of the day, went down a treat (literally).  Our outdoor area looks fabulous.  Thanks to Connor Ballantyne for capturing some 'working bee' moments on our kindy digi  ... the slide show also provided a few laughs.  And just to finish off, has anyone got a spare couple of trailer loads of chunky mulch ... to put onto the garden along the east fence?

And with that ... along came some budding gardeners from our afternoon group.  Our seeds we planted earlier in the term, have now changed ... into plants (obviously with lots of TLC from home). Thanks for sharing them with us.  We hope to make ourselves more sustainable, in supplying morning & afternoon tea for the children ... fresh from our own La Potager garden.

 

Crazy Dayssssss at Kindy

Thanks for coming along to both our crazy days ... Freaky Friday and Wacky Wednesday.  There were certainly some 'Awesome' outfits.  And a BIGGG thanks for making some fantastic 'freaky' morning tea .... green piklets, strawberries dipped in blood (aka icing) and also our 'wacky' afternoon tea ... feet shaped tarts (the food kind), gingerbread men with wacky shoes on ... ie alot of effort was put into making and creating.  And of course who could not forget all those 'freaky'and 'wacky' painted faces.  Thanks for making it such a special day. Check out our slide show for more pics.
