Found in the Hall after the Curriculum Day

We play with each other at after school care. We are writing this on Curriculum Day. (16/3/07) We also enjoy playing together at school. For afternoon tea we had milk and bananas with coconut or chocolate on top. We brung (brought) our lunch from home. We painted a key ring and made a bracelet with my name on it. I'm having a fun day.

Curriculum Day

Congratulations to all the children who came for our Curriculum Day program. Their behaviour was exemplary and it was a real pleasure to spend the day with them. We did some cooking, some jigsaw puzzles, some painting and some jewellery making. We saw many good games of table tennis and, thanks to JM who bought in an extra controller, some played games on the Play Station.

I can't show you most of the photos here but this is one of the key tags the children decorated and some of the jewellery they made.
I would also like to thank Joe, one of our fathers, whose vigilance and quick thinking has found another trolley for us! Thanks Joe, you are a star!

Lots of fun

We have had lots of fun this week with the Play Station restricted to Mondays and Fridays and we will now only show videos on bad weather days.

This week we made salt dough (plain flour, salt and water), modelled with it, baked it until it was firm and then painted it. We also painted stones.

To celebrate the change of seasons (?) a lot of old favourites came out of storage. We had dress ups, a dance group in the sandpit with the CD player (!) and a tennis tournament using the small tennis net. Cars are popular and dinosaurs have been roaming around the hall!

We have many excited kids looking forward to the Curriculum Day next week.

Play Station and painted flower pots

The children have been very mature in their behavior with the play station quietly waiting their turn and allowing other children to have a go. I am concerned about the number of children just watching and we will have to consider tweaking the rules.

However, not all the children are interested in the play station and we have created some beautiful art projects.

Here we have three wondeful decorated flower pots created by JP, MM and SS?
