HIVE NEWS & REMINDERS ::

There’s so much to adjust to, as things return towards normal…

  • We’re finding some kids are not clear of the plan after school 🤔 Please REMIND THEM ABOUT HIVE in the morning: it makes the school—Hive transition much quicker and safer

  • Check your Hive bookings - only book what you need, otherwise CANCEL or NOTIFY US of any absence >> non-notification penalties are back in play from Monday, 8th June

  • Please look at the camera when you buzz for access - it helps us identify who’s coming in and which kids need to be ready for pick up

  • Keep sending WARM CLOTHES and WATER BOTTLES

* * IMPORTANT * *
We recently forwarded an email from the DESE about the need for each family to confirm their 2018/19 income by 30th June, in order to continue receiving CCS.

WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO…?

Environmental Week means we focus on sustainable, natural and recycled materials and practices as much as possible. Thanks to Eugenia for a beautiful craft program this week, designed to prompt some thought about our environment, our use of so much ‘stuff’ and the endless possibilities to reuse, recycle and to get creative!

  • the kids used plastic bottle tops as tokens and designed and created their own board games! We had great fun learning about what each of them had come up with

  • we created leaf lanterns, using recycled card rolls decorated with leaves, flowers and other items from nature, collected from our wanderings around the school grounds

  • a staged project is the creation of our own beeswax wrap, which is a) very cool and b) reduces the need for plastic boxes and food wrap

  • we made mobiles from natural materials, and also experimented with cabbage roots to create our own jewellery designs!

  • the kids enjoyed the better weather this week, with games of street hockey, soccer, archery sessions and fun with giant Jenga out in the quad.

What a week…!
