A BIG welcome back to all our families & especially all our NEW families. Check out our 'Sand Artwork' that the children have been creating on the lightbox over the week. It looks AMAZING. The newsletter has been e-mailed out to everyone ... if you didn't receive a copy, there is a hard copy available (on the wall just above the sign-in desk). Evaluation of Learning (Term 4 2010) are presently being e-mailed out (along with some technie cliches) let us know if you have received them.
You may have noticed a new face amongst our teaching team ... we welcome Leila Zamani who will join us on a Tue, Wed & Thur for the term. Leila completed some of her Teacher training in Southland & is presently preparing for her wedding in March before moving to Gore with her husband Mark. So a BIG warm Winton welcome to Leila.
Keep the 10 February free ... we have our first Kindy Parent Group meeting @ Kindy 7pm. Our format for our meetings, for 2011, will be very SOCIAL & very informal ... that is, we want LOTS of parents to come along, to socialize & to make our Kindy the 'HUB" of Winton. ALL the boring stuff is done by Judy (lucky me) so PLEASE we want as many faces along as we can get.
A Project Kylie & I are working on @ the moment is the revamp of the outdoor area. We have some money allocated to us from Kindergartens South (our Parent Organisation) & Claire Light has kindly offered to put together a Grant. Pukerau Nurseries have been approached to consult with us (they designed the outdoor area @ the new Longford Kindergarten in Gore). So this term it will be gathering lots of ideas.
The Winton Flower Show (16-18 Feb 2011) committee have dropped an entry form in for us. We plan to have a Winton Kindy display (could be a small Project for our Kindy Parent Group) & to enter some children's photography. There are LOTS of categories ... so if you wanted to enter something from home, please do.
A BIG thanks to everyone who signed our 'ECE cuts don't heal' Petition - 1 Feb 2011. We feel very strongly about the HUGE cuts to Early Childhood Education ... also if you have any opportunity to talk to Members of Parliament please do so.
Just a reminder to everyone ... PLEASE make sure the front gate is firmly closed behind you & also the front door. They both have swinging hinges but DON'T automatically close. It's good to check ... just to be on the safe side.
And also a BIG thanks to all our Parents who have put their name down for Parent Help ... the roster is on the sign-in table, grab a day that suits !!!
