HIVE NEWS::

WELCOME BACK
We missed last week’s newsletter (we blame Ellie!) so a belated welcome back to Term 3! Welcome back also to Lenka - we all missed her and are happy to see her back in the Hive! The reason for her maternity leave - the beautiful Aggie - is on the right. Just gorgeous!

HOLIDAY PROGRAM
…was a HUGE success with booking numbers higher than ever, and a fabulous program delivered by our dedicated team. Shout out to Edie & Euge for steering the ship, always with a smile. Highlights included a day at TARONGA ZOO, a crazy, fun-filled time at EQ’s IMPACT WALL, some winter magic at BONDI ICE RINK, energetic times at our own MINI OLYMPICS, mind-blowing constructions with KAPLA WORKSHOP and eagle-eyed ARCHERY!!

CLUB NEWS::

  • This week we celebrated the OLYMPICS, with lots of SPORTS CLUBS that even the rain couldn’t spoil! We enjoyed gymnastics in the hall and lots of handball and soccer. In ART & CRAFT we made Olympic torches and winners’ medals plus loads of beautiful colouring and painting

  • Our SENIORS are enjoying Thursday afternoon MINI-EXCURSIONS across to the pavilion parklands for fun, games, team sports …and a bit of space to themselves! Last week was a great success. There’s space for a small number of Y3s each week too - don’t worry if you miss out, your turn will come!

  • EXPLORE & DISCOVER this week was very popular. You guessed it: SLIME!! Well done to Priscila, Bek & Mia and for keeping a huge group of kids happy with this glorious, gummy activity.

  • Our morning sessions were jam-packed with loads of colouring and painting of posters for the Hive walls (thank you Aisling and Coco). Some of our older children made their own electronic circuits (well done Elke!)

PARENT REMINDERS::

  • Remember to tell us before 2:30pm if your child will be absent in the afternoon. We don’t like penalty fees… You have three options:

    • mark the session ‘away’ online (until 12pm the day before)

    • email us on the ‘bookings@…’ address

    • call us on 0450 896 686

    • REMEMBER: telling school is not the same as telling us

  • If your child has started or changed extra curricular activities during their Hive sessions please let us know. Remind them to check in at the Hive room at 3pm, before they head off to music/coding etc…

  • Note: you must leave the school grounds after signing out in the afternoon. There is no permission to remain on premises once you’ve finished at The Hive and there is a danger of getting locked in - which actually happened once before! :-/
