Gumnut Babies

This term we have been taking a close look at May Gibbs' Gumnut Babies. For art last week, we made some little Snugglepot and Cuddlepie bookmarks using water colours. We got to take them home on Friday.

Veggie patch update

Over the weekend Miss Burgess went to a gardening shop and bought some strawberries and broccoli seedlings for our garden. Our cucumber seeds have also started to sprout. It's very exciting!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads, Uncles, and Grandad's in our school. Last week the children wrote some beautiful things about their dad's that I have to share.

"My dad is the best because he works at a restaurant and he makes pizzas. I love my dad. I play with my dad." -Anthony
 
"My dad is good at soccer because he scores lots of goals. My dad is the best at weight lifting because he can lift me and he is good at lifting cars. I love my dad."  -Ethan

"My dad is the greatest because he is a builder. My dad is funny and silly. My poppy is the best poppy. I love my dad and poppy."  -Evie

"My dad is the best because he carries me and my sister. He is strong. My dad is a hair dresser. My dad is the best because his car is a racing car. I said "You can be a racing man". He said "No". But I would like him to be one".   -Emily

Hearing Awareness Week

Last week Kindergarten celebrated Hearing Awareness Week. We had a special visit from Mrs McAndrew and she taught us all about how the ear works and what it is like for people who are deaf. We even got to try out hearing aids. How cool is that? Everyone made their own special headband that said "I'm a fantastic listener" to take home. We learnt a lot of new things about the ear and how to take care of our hearing. Thanks Mrs McAndrew, it was great fun!

Father's Day Breakfast

Yesterday we celebrated Father's Day with Marist by holding a Father's Day Breakfast. We had a great morning and everyone loved their bacon and eggs rolls. Mrs Andre, Mrs Wong and Ms Yeats were ready for action at the BBQ with the Marist boys and got cooking nice and early. Parents and friends then joined us at church for the Father's Day Mass. What a fantastic way to start our day.

Kindy's Veggie Patch Update

Today we opened our shop for business after another hard days work in "Kindy's Veggie Patch". We spent part of the day collecting fresh lettuce and peas from our garden. With spring soon approaching we planted some new vegetables too. Now we are growing cucumbers, corn, tomatoes and carrots. It's just a matter of time before we have some new seedlings.
