My goodness...Look how busy we have been!!



The beginning of the week saw the Kindergarten children go...BALLOON CRAZY! We were lucky enough to have all the balloons donated to us from the Winton Open Day. How lucky were we? The chidlren certainly enjoyed them and I think being able to pop them was one of the hightlights! A big thanks to the organisers for your generosity, it was greatly appreciated!!
Also this week, our art term focus is well underway and with Christmas fast approaching we are developing our artistic ability and creating some masterpeices that could possibly be used as Christmas presents for the children's family...SHHH, it's a surprise!

So ripping was on the agenda, lots and lots of ripping!!! Using a fantastic idea out of a recent 'Littles' magazine, the children (both morning and afternoon) began the process of making their very own paper mache bowls.

By ripping up LOADS of coloured paper we will work on creating bowls for each child to take home as a Christmas gift. Morning children are already well through the process with many colouful bowls drying on the project room window sill. I must say, they look fabulous! Afternoon children next week will work on soaking their ripped up paper and mixing in the glue...Can't Wait!


Don't forget to check out all the wonderful happenings in the Kindergarten, and if anyone knows of any local artists that could come in and share some of their knowledge, of just 'create' with the children let either Judy or Kylie know.
Thanks and keep creating,


Kylie and Judy!
