Term 4 Week 8

Click here to view our weekly Kindy newsletter: Thur 1 Dec

Our beans have indeed woven their magic. Not only are we 'watching' our beans propagate but we have also listened to the Jack & the Beanstalk animated story on our Kindy iPad. And also this week a magic 'Giant's City World' has been created by Alice Pulley, Eva Coveney & Holly Mitchell. A wonderful appreciation from our Reggio Emilia inspired learning & teaching @ Winton Kindy - The Hundred Languages of Children - Children representing their understandings using varied & various media.

Also in Te Wanaga time this week (Wed) we watched a 'Lima Bean' time-lapse ... click on the link to view!!!

Remember to send in your bean pics from home !!!

WINTON MUSEUM
Wednesday saw us off on a challenge ... Where is the Winton Museum? As part of our Term Planning ... If you know who you are & where you are from, then you will now where you are going! Our thoughts were to historically consider 'What makes Winton ... Winton?'. So off we went to find out about our local history!

FOREST KINDY
This week we had Craig Reed, Rebecca Warburton & Sarah Lobbett with us - thanks for coming along! It was a great opportunity for all the Forest Kindy kids to show Judy around (with Christina away). And guess what we found in the shelter ... a Beanstalk!!!

And while we waited for everyone to arrive some of the children could show me what 'hanging around' actually means ... check out this face for determination - hold on tight Lucas Campbell!!!

And then we were off ... but not before we made a 'wish' @ the Wishing rock -remember to keep your wish a secret everyone! The children have indeed NOTICED soon much this morning ... a fallen tree, they showed Judy the Monster Motocross track, teamwork or a show of unilateral togetherness! And we found many young birds didn't survive all that stormy weather in the weekend - but kindly we were able to respectably show how gracious we are!!! Tks for a great morning everyone & tks for being such great ambassadors & showing Judy around this naturalistic playscape - right @ our back door!
