A Special Delivery!!

This week we had a very special delivery. It started with a PA announcement that asked for Kindy kids from Rooms 4 & 5 to come to the office as a parcel had been delivered! We also heard a few giggling voices.... we were so intrigued as to what it could have been!

The box arrived and it was cold. There was a stamp on it saying Santa's Workshop. 

We opened the box and we found some snow, a book, a letter and an elf!

After reading the book we realised the elf had been sent to us by Santa to keep an eye on whether we are making good or bad choices. The elf then uses her magic to fly back to the North Pole each night to let Santa know how our behaviour has been that day. 

The number one rule that we must follow with our elf is not to touch her. If we touch her she will lose her magic! Should her magic stay each morning we arrive she will appear in a new place in the classroom. We are all excited to see where she turns up next!!!

It was important to name our elf to ensure that her magic started.
Group 1 decided her name would be Rosie.
Group 2 decided her name would be Diamond.

I can't wait to see what she does next!

Neon Disco

On Friday we went to the Neon Disco, organised and run by the amazing school P & C. They did a fantastic job and we all had  terrific time!
The kids enjoyed dancing and getting their groove on with their buddies. They particularly liked their glow products. 








Kindy Assembly

A huge thank you to all of the parents for dressing your children in costume and coming to the assembly. It was so lovely to see all of the children so confident, ready for Pre-primary. 
(Apologies for the crazy teachers in the forefront of the videos)

Splish Splash - Group 1


Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - Group 1


Surfin' USA - Group 2


Walking on Sunshine - Group 2


If any parents would like a video of their child speaking, I may have it. Just let me know.
Sorry about the quality. They needed to be small to upload to the website.

Rosie's Walk Hook






This term our Talk for Writing text is Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins. One of our class focuses will be understanding and using positional language. 
We had a special delivery this week from Rosie the Hen. She sent us an envelope that directed us to follow her clues to find a treasure! She sent us across the pavement, around the hill, through the tunnel, up the log steps and down the slide. When we returned to the classroom there was a treasure chest filled with chocolate coins and pictures from the story. It was a very exciting morning!
