Merry Xmas Everyone

What a fantastic & exciting night ... fish n chips, the amazing illusions from our visiting magician along with the sound of the fire engine siren, and the arrival of (you guessed it) - Santa Claus.  It was great to see Santa - as we all know how busy he is and to watch the children's faces light up with amazement & excitement was ... magic. Thanks for taking the time to call in Santa.  A BIG thanks to everyone who was able to come along and with that ... a very Merry Xmas (remember not to eat tooooo much) and a safe holiday break to everyone.  And just to let everyone know ... our new permanent teacher, beginning 27 Jan 2009 is Kylie Arnesen.  Kylie is very very excited about joining us all at Winton Kindergarten ... we look forward to a year of staff stability.

Friday Fun !!!!!

What a fantastic morning.    Hot Potato, Hot Potato (you had to be there)  has never sounded more charismatic, until you jive & jump to it's beat whilst holding a HUGEEEE parachute.  Thanks to the Invercargill Gym Club for such a fantastic morning ... getting out of that foam pit was pretty amazing.  And who has it that had the crazy foam fight ... (clue:  wasn't any of the children).  Check out the video ... my first attempt, so a little bit blurry.

And off to the Fire Station.  Hoses, ladders, fans, lights and not forgetting that amazing water display (even the bus got a free wash).  What a great day. A thanks to our official Photographer for the day: Georgia Robertson(some great action shots Georgia - Well Done)).  And a BIG thanks to allll the parents who were able to come along.  Without you we could not have gone.

Check out the slide show on Monday on the iMac on Monday.  

P.S.  And Jack, those boots were made for ....  a special person to grow into them!!!

'WORM JUICE FOR SALE'

Our kindy gardens are starting to look both colourful & productive (except for the lettuces). Guess who has been eating the lettuces?  We have tomatoes growing, radishes, carrots, cucumbers, sugar peas ... what else could we plant?  And of course, as all gardens do ... they need a bit of TLC.  The boys have been busy aerating the soil and keeping the garden looking great.  And not forgetting our Worm Farm.  We have collected 15 jars of worm juice which is a great natural nutrient for gardens (especially roses).  For Sale @ $2 a jar.
