WOWZAS! end of term is approaching.
What do we need to know?
EASTER RAFFLE:
Raffle tickets went out this week. This is for an Easter raffle run by the Year 4's. Please drop your money and tickets to the office if you want to be in it to win it! This is separate to the Kindy Red's Easter hunt. This raffle is drawn in Week 10.
Miss Horrocks will be having a Easter egg hunt with both classes as well so let me know if this is a concern and I can substitute chocolate with a little toy inside a plastic egg.
FAMILY AND KEEPING SAFE PROGRAM:
Over the last two weeks we have began the first unit of our Keeping Safe Program and discussed the importance of a trust wall. Who are the adults in your life that you trust and love to ask for help if you feel unsafe. Kindy Red have this lesson on their Monday in Week 10. Kindy Blue had there's last Monday. We discussed that it could be Mum, Dad, Nan, Pop, their teachers and the police. We don't really focus on stranger danger anymore but the importance of trusting people who we know and make us feel safe.
EASTER STORY:
This Week the Kindies have learnt the importance of Easter and have been told the story about Jesus and what a kind man he tried to be on earth. At a Kindy age, I explain to them what happened to Jesus and why he went to heaven, but I don't go into detail about the crucifixion. In this way the children learn about the celebration of Easter and all about new life just as Jesus came alive again in heaven to be with his father, God. We sing songs, read stories and share in lots of craft activities together. We love Easter time in Kindy!
END OF TERM:
Pillows and hats will be sent home in week 10 to be washed over the holidays.
I think that's all folks
