Dear Wilkins families and friends,
This week in the Wilkins room we have enjoyed doing lots of
Christmas crafts. Decorating pine cones, creating foam baubles and cutting out
Christmas cards to stick onto coloured paper.
We have also enjoyed acting out parts of some of our favorite
stories... Little Lumpty and
Sticky Jam the story of sugar. We have been using the felt board
and pictures from the stories
to re-tell the story to each other.
Miss Karla also set up two painting easels so we have been able
to do paintings in small groups. We have really enjoyed this. It is good to practice doing things together and working as a
team.
Now the weather has warmed up again we have been excited to start
using the hose again. We just love playing in the water, mud and sand in the Wilkins room. Please remember to pack spare
clothes in your child's bag.
On Thursday we said farewell our amazing Chinese teacher Lao Shi!
We have enjoyed learning the Chinese songs she sings with us and also listening to some of our favorite
stories re-told in Chinese. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
On Friday we will be saying goodbye to Miss Karla as she awaits
the birth of her baby! We can't wait! We enjoyed some yummy cupcakes to celebrate! We hope to see Miss
Karla for a visit again soon! We are excited to welcome Miss Georgia to the class in Miss
Karla's absence.
Next week we will begin our holiday program. Please keep an eye
out for any special dates on the door.
We will be holding a wheels day for the children on Thursday 17th
December. Children are invited
to bring in a bike or scooter to ride at school. Please make sure your children also
have a helmet.
We hope you enjoy your weekend and keep cool...
Nicole, Sarah, Karla and Ellen
