A big thanks to Craig Reed and Mike Crowe our Parent Helpers this week. We had a great time at the Troll Bridge where Tingah-Bell and Casey fished for "Troll Snot" and at the Dragons Nest and Kindy Castle where Craig and the group buried children under the fallen leaves to make our own hatching dragons and monsters. Mike was our champion "hider" for hide and seek - becoming part of the forest floor disguised by his camo gear - what a fun morning! To top off our day we collected sticks for our Obelisk that the Discovery Time children had made prototypes for in the past few weeks. We started to build our Obelisk then finished it off back at Kindy. This is to help our Winton Flower Show prize winning - Sweet Peas ... we now wait to see if our design will work - watch this space!
On Tuesday the Discovery Time group made Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie for our special visitors that would be coming to our Kindy that evening for a Provisionally Registered Teachers -Visual Arts Workshop. On Wednesday we made Red Velvet Cupcakes for the children - delicious! And again more Brownie, this time for the Parent Group Meeting that night. Lots of mathematical and scientific concepts at work - measuring, mixing, and creating!! Along with a wonderful appreciation of 'Giving' ... And yes Sarah Crowe the teachers LOVED our Chocolate Fudge Brownies!
Bravery
On from our attendance at the Armistice Day Service at Anzac Oval last week we revisited our learning this week by discussing with the Discovery Time Group: "What does it mean to be Brave?" The children shared times that they have been brave and put these down on paper. We also introduced the Dictaphone and recorded each others contributions - we had a lot of fun replaying our voices!!

Thanks very much for another good blog. I enjoyed hearing about Ava's story sharing this week and pleased she is having so much fun with it. Ava also tells me she is also having heaps of fun with the Amazing me Series. We have also enjoyed helping her with her Kindy homework this weekend and learning about her 'river' and 'mountain'. Have a good weekend everyone.
