Working Bee
Thank you so much to the parents who took time out of their busy lives to come down and help at the working bee this weekend. We really appreciate your efforts...you are amazing! The children have been very excited with the new position of the carpentry house and have been busy all morning painting and hammering!
Our playground development is off to a great start...thank you, thank you, thank you! Watch this space I say...it's all go around here!

Techno whizz kids!
A large group of boys gather around the computer to look at Matthew's blog story.
It's not long before Rico takes control of the mouse pad to navigate his way around the blog to videos of interest. It's a bit tricky to use a mouse pad, however Rico perseveres and develops great technique with this piece of technological equipment. Jackson watches on giving directions and before long it's his turn to have a go. It amazes me how quickly these children become competent and confident users of technology!

One Tree Point School
Thank you to Pam Weir (new entrant teacher) and Adrian Smith (Principal) of One Tree Point School for their visit to kindergarten today. It was chaos as usual on a rainy day...however we know they appreciate the learning going on when children are immersed in play and fun.
We value these visits between kindergarten and school as they offer opportunities to collaborate, share teaching and learning ideas and strengthen links and transitions to school. It's fantastic to have positive relationships with our local schools!
