Term 2 Week 2

This week we fare welled Elena Gwynn on Monday - thanks for sharing the female Stick Insect you found at home with us at Monday Morning Meeting; and Milly Watkinson, Miley Coveney, and Dante Wharf on Wednesday...Happy School Days!!

Forest Kindy:
Welcome to our five new Forest Kindy kids this week: Megan Bailey, Joshua Short, Tara Hamilton, Drew Anderson-Kereti and Leah Langford! Thank you to Paula Kincaid and Robbie Watkinson for being our Parent Helpers this week. The group found LOTS of mud this week - a great initiation for our newbies! Drew shouted, "This is the best day ever!!" as she jumped in the mud, what a great day in the bush had by all! We celebrated Milly's 5th birthday with sausages on the camp stove for morning tea, thanks Robbie. We checked on the Dragon's Nest and the five "oldies" showed the five newbies what to do when we here the dragons flying overhead - lots of leadership and role modeling taking place this week! We had a visit from Pam Wilson our Senior Teacher while at the Reserve, and Sally Dobbie joined us for lunch.

Polyfest T-Shirt Competition:
This week we handed out notices and templates for our amazingly creative families to come up with their own designs for this year's Polyfest T-Shirt Competition. The entries will be collated and entered, with the winning design being used for the support staff at this year's Polyfest Performances held next term - wow, what an honour!! Great to hear of families researching different designs and their meanings, check out the display of some of last year's entries at Kindy for inspiration. Please return to Christina by Friday 23rd May, thanks and good luck!!

Going Bananas
The TF Group arrived this week to a HUGE box of bananas. On Thursday the group peeled, sliced and blended to make our own delicious banana smoothies for morning tea. Today we added milo for a yummy choc-banana treat - lots of positive feedback from our young critics: "This is so goooood!"
