HIVE NEWS::

Our HOLIDAY PROGRAM is shaping up beautifully (nice one Lenka!), and will be open in Week 7. Watch this space… This is an 11 week term, and our HP starts after Easter Monday, on Tue 14 April.

Soon we will run this term’s LOCKDOWN DRILLS, on a morning and afternoon session. We will email you with notice of which 30min windows to please try and avoid for drop off and pick up. We’ll follow up with SAFETY BRIEFINGS with the kids: what worked; what didn’t; how we can improve for next time and a reminder of exactly why the drills are so important.

At the beginning of each term (and periodically as required) we remind the kids of the BASIC SAFETY RULES at The Hive, such as: staying within the school grounds at all times; respecting out of bounds areas; transitioning between spaces in pairs; not speaking to people through the fence; taking care when crossing the car park and so on. Your support at home is much appreciated.

Work has now started on the fit out of the NEW HIVE OFFICE. Very exciting! The new storage space in there will allow us to de-clutter the Hive room a little and put some of the toys and games on rotation, to keep things fresh and the kids engaged.

WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO?

Our COMPLIMENT theme this week was all about using kind words to give compliments to the people in our lives, to bring a smile and make those around feel good! ♡

ART & CRAFT saw the kids create beautiful aboriginal dot paintings, talking about the methods and materials used by Australia’s indigenous people. They also attended a balsa wood workshop and did some pottery. Busy week!!

The Juniors also enjoyed planting their own succulents in EXPLORE & DISCOVER. Baking club was - as always - a big hit, with Carrot Cake on the menu this week. Our little ENGINEERS enjoyed building their own bubble tower, as suggested by own of our own Hive bees!

We had a wide variety of activities in SPORTS CLUB this week, including spike ball, volleyball, hockey & netball. The seniors also had a go at yoga and beach cricket!

Our SENIORS’ MINI EXCURSION involved a shopping trip to Woolies and a beach BBQ. The kids are learning about shopping, produce, budget and food prep
