Wilkins


Dear Wilkins families,
Christmas is near and we are really getting into the Christmas spirit! On Wednesday we were very lucky! We had Christmas music playing while eating lunch in our decorated cafeteria. We also had a special visit from Santa Claus today. He came in and read us a Christmas story and even gave us all a gift!

This week has been a busy week filled with arts and crafts in our creative corner. The Wilkins room has been sparkling with glitter since we started creating our pine cone decorations. Our dramatic play area has been a busy space where the children have demonstrated turn taking skills and communication which, are building through their play.
It has been a hot week, we have had group discussions about the weather and how it can suddenly change. Through this we watched how quickly ice cubes can melt when we are handling them in the water trough!

Just a few reminders for next week. Please be sure to sunscreen your child before arriving at School. Also, please pack spare clothes as we will be engaging in water and sand play during the summer program (starting next week).
The summer program for next week are in your child’s locker and also displayed on the Wilkins room door so feel free to take a look to find out the exciting week we have ahead.

Enjoy your weekend and we will see you all next week!
Thank you,

Wilkins Team
