Countdown to Christmas!

25, 24, 23, 22, 21 ...... It all started in early December with the decoration of our Christmas tree and of course over the next few days 'presents' are wrapped (and unwrapped by those who can't wait!!) Dough decorations are made, baked and painted ready to go home to take pride of place on family trees. There is great excitement at our Family BBQ on 4 December when Santa makes a surprise visit. There are 'Candy Canes' for all and a chance to have photos taken with Santa and share those 'christmas wish lists!' Thanks Santa - Yes, we have been good!
Christmas celebrations continued with our trip to 'Chipmunks' on the 14th of December to share a fun morning exploring the many physical challenges of their playground. We have all worked up an appetite and are ready to tuck into our 'Party Packs' for lunch before climbing aboard the bus for the trip back to kindergarten.
Now with only 11 Sleeps to go .................. Our Christmas Raffle is drawn on 16 December - Congratulations to all our winners. Kindergarten closes on Friday 18 December and last but not least a big thank you to all our families and supporters in 2009.
Merry Christmas and have a safe, relaxing summer break. We will see you back on 26 January 2010.

How does this work?

Exploration and hands on learning is the key to finding out how things work and Shiloh is doing just that. After filling his bucket with sand he attaches the handle of the bucket to the hook on the pulley and the action really begins with just a little distraction as he investigates the chain on the sandpit box along the way. See for yourself.

Friday 4th December

Christmas Party On Friday the 4th of November children, families and teachers gathered at kindergarten for our end of year Christmas party/BBQ. A sausage sizzle was provided by our fantastic committee and following this Santa managed to fit us in to his busy schedule........the children were super excited to see him and managed to get their Christmas wish lists in on time. A slideshow of the evening follows.
