A big thank you to the MANY FAMILIES who made the effort to come along on the night and celebrate this amazing achievement!! Check out today's copy of The Eye newspaper to see Rachel Reed and Alyssa Batt viewing our art in the Gallery before the Awards Ceremony - Go Winton Kindergarten - we sure do have an amazing bunch of talented artists here!!

Butterflies with Rachel Reed: On Wednesday Rachel brought in her sewing machine to make butterflies to hang with our lonesome butterfly! The children used dye to paint their butterflies before these were sewed and stuffed with crunched newspaper

Hair Salon: This week our Dramatic Arts area has been transformed into a hair salon, initiated by the MTW Group and continued through to our TF Group also! Thank you Leevonne Diack for the capes to add to the excitement!! We have had some funky hair do's coming out the front doors, and it seems as though the appointments book is fully booked!! 

A warm welcome to Max Heckler and family who have joined the group this week.
