Mothers day save the date

 

WE LOVE OUR MUMMIES! 

Hope all Mum's can make it for this special morning. If by any chance a Mum cannot make it, your child can ask a friend, share a kindy mum or invite  Nanna to come along so your child can participate in the activities. 

Please RSVP.

ANZAC DAY IN KINDY

 I hope everyone had a lovely Anzac long weekend! 

In Kindy, we celebrated ANZAC day. 

The children listened to the story ANZAC Ted and got to meet the real life ANZAC Ted. The teddy bear didn't look very nice and he looked old and damaged. The children learnt why he was special and why he looked the way he did. 

We made poppies to remember the soldiers who fought in the war. 

We set up camp and trenches just like the soldiers did with our toy army set. We didn't fight with them because we know that was the sad part about war. Instead our army people were set up to look after the land. 

Kindy Red were able to attend the ANZAC day assembly. They were very responsible at joining in with the last post. I was very proud of them. 

Kiki from Kindy Blue told us a story about her great grandfather going to war and Dallas from Kindy Red got to march with his Pop in the parade. 

Lest we forget 💗

Week 8 and 9: Easter time

 

These last two week's of Term One were filled with learning about the importance of Easter and being involved in Easter fun leading up to the big day. 

In sport we used the song 'hop bunnies hop' to practise our fundamental movement skills. The children were involved in hoping, balancing and jumping activities. Then it was relay time with the egg and spoon. 

In literacy we read the Easter story about Jesus's life, 'Going on an Easter egg hunt' , 'If I were the Easter bunny' and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar. In our Pre literacy programme we explored the beginning, middle and end of our stories and also learnt how to break up our words into syllables. We still need lots of practise at this tricky skill. 

Did you know the word rabbit has two syllables?  and 

the word egg only has one.  

In art we made hungry caterpillars, butterfly paintings, Easter baskets and Easter cards. 

In maths we are learning about patterns and 1:1 correspondence. The children enjoyed matching the miniature eggs to the correct number. The children loved singing along to our counting songs, five hot cross buns and Five little bunnies. 

In science we watched Easter eggs float and sink and we were so fortunate to have Mrs Lauder come in to do some cooking with us. The children got to take home the recipe for tasty healthy jellies. They were delicious. Thank you so much Fiona!  

...And Of course the Easter Bunny visited both of our classes. Wow what a Term. Well done team. 

I apologise to Kindy Red, I was away and wasn't able to capture any photos of this class. I will make it up to them in Term Two. 

Thank you for all my Birthday love. This is River and he made me a chocolate cake. 

Yummy Jellies we made in cooking. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVE!

Hopping time we our Easter bonnets. 

The Easter Bunny left some fur. 

The Easter bunny made it to Kindy. 

We're going on an Easter egg hunt... 

Happy Easter! 

We worked out that some Kindies had short names and some Kindies had long names. Each caterpillar was unique. 

On the Holidays I had an Easter party with my niece and nephews.  I hope everyone had a wonderful break. See you all for Term Two. 

We wish everyone a happy Easter!
