COOLER WEATHER

And just like that, Term 1 is nearly over! As the air starts to cool, it's really important to pack an extra layer in your children's bag - especially as the days are getting shorter... 🥶❄️🧊

PARENT REMINDERS

A quick reminder to please exit the school grounds once you've signed your children out. We know it’s nice to catch up with other parents or let the kids enjoy the play area a little longer, but it can make it tricky for our staff to keep an eye on the children still in our care. The safety of the kids is our top priority, and we really appreciate your understanding and support in helping us with this!

👨‍🍳 🎨 🎲 WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO? 🏏 🧸 🧪

Here are some of the activities we've been up to in our ACTIVITY CLUBS the past fortnight!

ART & CRAFT: cloud rainbows, paddlepop ballerinas, cupcake liner fish, clay club, pipe-cleaner flower bouquets and tape painting (just to name a few!)

BAKING CLUB: yummy no-bake choc chip flapjacks (substituting the nut ingredients of course), and deliciously sweet lemon slice

SPORTS: hockey, jack in the pack, newcombe ball, kick tennis, basketball knockouts, and of course some soccer

EXPLORE & DISCOVER: bug hunts, a cool (and tasty!) skittles experiment and movie club!

CONSTRUCTIVE PLAY: we created a GIANT magnatile tower and got speedy with the hot wheels tracks

MORNING CREW: Our morning crew have been really enjoying our cheerios lately... we can't seem to get enough of them!

🐌 OUR GARDEN 🌿

We’re excited to share that we’ll be back in the garden NEXT WEEK (Week 11)!

Our garden guardian, David, has planned some fun and educational hands-on activities for the kids. Next week, they’ll be focusing on 'exploring the garden in Autumn' and 'getting ready for planting.'

He’ll also be joining us in the second week of our HOLIDAY PROGRAM, where the focus will be on planting some Autumn crops!

In the meantime, enjoy some photos of the garden in its current state. Note the lovely little strawberries….
