NAIDOC WEEK 2020

The NAIDOC 2020 theme - Always Was, Always Will Be. - recognises and celebrates that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. NAIDOC 2020 invites all Australians to embrace the ancient history of this country – a history which dates back thousands of generations.

GATE SECURITY

Thanks to everyone for pulling together whilst we wait for the gates to get fixed. The safety of the children is always our highest priority, so we appreciate your support in pulling the gate closed behind you every time.

AGM

Our AGM ran well on Friday 13th, with financial accounts approved, reports from the President and the Treasurer, appointment of new auditors and votes for the coming year’s Executive Committee role bearers. An enormous thank you to Olivia Wright, who stands down from the Hive Exec after almost two years of solid support and service. And a huge welcome to Selena Van Loon and Sanj Kinsella, who were voted in. Minutes and financial report can be found on our NEWS page.

SENIOR PROJECT - MARKET STALL FOR CHARITY

The current focus for our talented SENIORS group is a charity-based project, running on Wednesday afternoons. The kids have grouped themselves and shared out tasks, such as charity research, brochure, logo & product design, packaging !! The eventual outcome will be a stall at Bondi Markets selling whatever the kids come up with, all proceeds going to our nominated charity. The brief for this first project is simple:

LOVE IN THE TIME OF COVID

We’re supporting local artist Merran Hughes and Create NSW to thank frontline health workers for their efforts during the Covid crisis. Hive children will be decorating paper flags in the coming weeks, which will be hung in local hospitals through Christmas, to cheer up patients and brighten the days of those who’ve been so busy during this unprecedented time.

WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO…?

We embraced the RECYCLING theme by using some giant boxes to make wearable ROBOTS and also a brand new CUBBY HOUSE (nice one Edie!!)
ART & CRAFT during NAIDOC week was all about using our hands and natural materials, celebrating our connection to the world around us. We used twigs, leaves, sand and clay. We made aboriginal inspired hand prints on our new cubby house and heard multi-cultural stories.
In EXPLORE & DISCOVER we made our own beautiful-smelling BATH BOMBS and we worked with paper to make amazing ORIGAMI creations, exploring different angles and the strengths of various structures
We got busy with Archery, Basketball, Dodgeball and Soccer in SPORTS CLUB. The kids are never short of energy and we saw some great team spirit this fortnight
in our ever-popular BAKING CLUB the kids made BANANA BREAD with CRUMBLE and also their very own curlywurly PRETZELS! So much fun and extreeeeemely yummy 🧑‍🍳🧑‍🍳
