Week 8 Term 1

Millie and Mackenzie add their contributions to the group sea life collage in the Project Room

This week we have been getting in to the spirit of St Patricks with a tad more green around the place than usual...You may have noticed the green theme on the light box and the lucky four leaf clovers being created in the project room. Our Sea Week really got the children excited about sea life, so to share our ideas the children have been working on a collage in the project room - watch this space for the BIG reveal! Also this week, Sally introduced some big sheets of cardboard that the children have been using as surfboards, skateboards, sledges - all sorts!! This extends on the interest of some of the boys who having been bringing their MacDonald toy skateboards along and making ramps for these.

Bayden and Mason try out the cardboard on the slide!

With the introduction of our tea set there has been a lot of interest in tea parties. Last week we discussed some ideas, and with Easter fast approaching we thought of tying the two together by hosting a "Mad Hatters Tea Party" and other Easter games on the 27th and 28th of March. Rachel Reed is searching for some friendly volunteers to help sew felt hats that the children can then decorate...Please let us know if you are able to lend a hand or have any other great ideas for our celebrations! TF Group we are thinking an Easter Egg hunt may be on the cards!!

Thank you for my birthday surprise this week, I felt very special sitting on the birthday chair!

Please remember to bring Library Bag/Books on Wednesday

Library Book Day - A friendly reminder that each Wednesday is Library Book Day where the children bring back their reading bag and books to exchange for new books. We seem to have quite a few children not bringing their reading bags and this means we have a lot less books to circulate. Can you please check at home for any Winton Kindergarten Books - these will have our stamp on the inside cover, and bring along next week. Our Library system is a great way to encourage children to appreciate and take responsibility for the books and improve literacy language skills through the sharing of stories.

Happy School Days to Pippa Sutton who is off to Winton School next week.

Welcome to Leila and Ileina Chandler Bringins to our TF Group - lots of fun in the boat!

Welcome to Dante to our TF Group - thanks for helping construct the new table!
