16 Dec 2011

What a GREAT last week we all have had. The fine weather meant a little bit of water fun for the afternoon children ... a Water Slide. Our Term Planning ... Will I or Won't I? meant just that. But once the wet smiley faces came charging back for another turn ... Won't I? didn't seem to be an issue. Great fun was had by all ... and Tks for a lovely shared lunch to farewell Ginny ... GREAT DAY !!!

And to finish off the year for our Morning children ... Let's Go Bush !!! Our Bush Walk meant we are now beginning to notice different fauna & foliage ...



















Kelan noticed some of the ferns had the same leaves but were different colours of green ... some lighter some darker. And we DID find the biggest tree. Next year we will see if we can identify it ... it was HUGE!!! Santa Claus marked the end of our trail & he even left us some treats ... how did he know we were out & about?
Tks for a great day out everyone & a BIG tks to all the Parents who were able to come along not just today but on all our Outdoor excursions.

Have a neat Xmas & a safe summer holiday break. See you all back in 2012. We will be back on
Jan 24 2012!!!

Welcome to Winton Kindy ... Lloyd Esler


What a great morning we have had today ... A visit by Lloyd Esler 'The Bug man' meant we were able to get up close & very personal with some common & some very rare BUGS. What a neat way to involve the children in the 'Wonders of Nature'. If you find any bugs @ home bring them along ... we can digi them & send them through to Lloyd to identify them - another wonderful way to include ICT into our programme. Oh I just about forgot ... we even had another visitor ... of the feathery kind. Whilst Lloyd was talking to us a Wood Pigeon decided to 'pop in' for a drink of water out of the sandpit ... how about that?














And after Lloyd left us we got stuck in & made Damper to have for lunch ... recipe available on request.

Next week is our last week @ Kindy ... we finish Kindy on the 16 Dec & return 24 Jan 2012

Have a great weekend ... slip,slop,slap & wrap !!!
