HIVE NEWS::
Last Friday’s WELCOME BBQ was big news! A huge well done to Lenka, the staff and the kids who helped make it such a success. Hive hired the bouncy castles, served home made fizzy lemonade (the kids were SO helpful!), created tablecloths and decorations, painted faces and more. Well done to the P&C volunteers and Hive team, who pulled it all together!!
Our Seniors group is working on the development of our own Hive ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY, which will become part of our daily routine. This is part of our drive to develop our own Reconciliation Action Plan, in collaboration with the Hive kids and two indigenous parents from our own community.
A big THANK YOU to Mr West who donated a fabulous MUSICAL KEYBOARD to The Hive. The kids are loving it and now Seth is back from his stay in NYC, we’ll start some serious music-making with the children!
We say a sad goodbye to AIYA and HARRY, who’ve lit up the Hive for a long time, but must now leave us for full time study. We wish them both well in their next chapter… Watch this space for an introduction to new team members in the next week or two…
WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO?
Our WOMEN’S DAY theme this week saw us engage in a range of activities and discussions: art activities based on historical female figures; discussions with the Seniors about female role models; creating gifts for the special women in our kids’ lives… Thank you Euge for such an inspiring theme and program!
ART & CRAFT saw a very busy week with Drawing Club in the Hive room - it’s beautiful to see the kids express themselves with a range of cards, colours, and materials.
BAKING CLUB is alive and well whilst Mia’s on holiday - thank you Priscila and Sydney! This week the kids loved making their own simply pizzas. Bellissimo!
Sports took a bit of a hit from the weather this week, but we kept the kids happy with BEYBLADES and KAPLA CONSTRUCTION in the Hall… And we still managed some team sport, with SOCCER in the cola. Yay!
What rain?? Our SENIORS enjoyed some quiet time in the library playing CLUEDO this week. Its great to see them developing their powers of deduction…!
