Wilkins

This week in the Wilkins room we have had so much fun it has just flown by!

We have enjoyed the beautiful sunshine and have taken the opportunity to have some water play. We have had lots of fun taking our shoes off and getting our feet wet with the cold, sandy water.

On Wednesday some of us were lucky enough to meet Miss Georgia's snake, Jerry! We were very brave and got to feel his slippery skin. The children thought it was funny when Miss Karla had a hold and Jerry slithered up her arm.

We have continued to enjoy creating sculptures with the boxes that some families have bought in from home. Miss Nicole and Miss Karla are in the process of displaying them for us!

The Wilkins children have really enjoyed stories at group time. Our favourites at the moment are Little Lumpy and We' re Going on a Bear Hunt. We even found We' re Going on a Bear Hunt on You Tube and watched the animation. We loved it! Especially when we saw the bear, we all screamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the weather is getting warmer... can you please pack a school T-shirt in your child's bag. We know its still a bit chilly in the mornings but are finding children are getting hot as the day goes on. We are more than happy to change your child's clothing to suit the weather. Can you also please pack a spare pair of pants/shorts for when we are having too much fun with the water and get wet! Thank you.

Enjoy the long weekend!

Nicole, Ellen and Karla
