Happy Friday to our Senior kindy and Pre Kindy families 😊

Senior Kindy’s day: The children had a ball with Miss Shanaya, choosing their own experiences. Harper, Millicent and Latika enjoyed a fishing game exploring magnets. The group had to use their hand eye coordination to slowly balance the hook of the line to the magnet on the fish. The girls became really excited each time they caught one saying “I got it!”. Bjorn was very interested in the car port racing the cars back and forth between the red and blue ramps. The group slowly made their way over to the home corner where they role played the grocery store and then a picnic at the table, eating up their lunch. Miss Shanaya played fun sing along songs for the children to dance around and sing to while playing. It was such a lovely, calm and positive environment for the children today!

Pre Kindy’s day: This morning Ellie took her initiative and started to read ‘Slinky Malinky’ to the classroom, sitting up on the couch and holding the book just like Miss TJ does. Ellie had the whole groups attention as she acted out and read the story. As a group we then read ‘Digger the Dog’ who saves a beach whale by digging a channel. It was then time for some indoor/outdoor activities. Inside, Pre Kindy chose to do free drawing with different drawing materials, office play with the keyboards and phones, sand timer races at the mindfulness station (which the children have been taking advantage of to calm or relax their bodies). Outside the children were excited to try out the candle and water colour painting where they used a white candle to draw on their page and then used their fine motor skills to spray their picture with the coloured water to uncover their chalk drawing. Such a fun experience for the children to see their picture appear. They loved it! Harley asked if we could used “big chalk” on the chalk board outside. Miss TJ was very impressed with the children practicing their letters. We went through each child writing the first letter of their name. Our friend Milly could even write her whole name, well done! We will definitely extend on practicing to write our letters and also practice those pencil grips. The group also had fun blowing some bubbles outside 😊

Senior and Pre Kindy joined together for a nursery rhymes group time, singing some of our favourites and learning some new ones off Miss TJ such as ‘Picking up the baby bumblebee’ which they thought was hilarious.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the rest of your day 😊
