Wilkins

Hello Wilkins Families,

This week our class has had a re shuffle to freshen up and re invigorate interests, especially in our home corner. We have also been moving things around and doing lots of tidying in our outdoor area. The children have been very excited watching their wheat grass grow, which is an area we will be delving into deeper and exploring in the coming weeks.  

Threading has also been a major interest in our class this week. The children have spent a considerable amount of time concentrating and persevering with their threading creations. It has been wonderful witnessing our friends further developing their fine motor control, sorting beads and pasta into colour, size and shape and overall enjoying and sharing this activity with their peers.

We have started talking to the children about what their families do for Easter and what the holiday means to them. We have had lots of comments about yummy eggs and the Easter bunny so we look forward to hearing more stories over the next few weeks. On the 24th of March the Early Learning Centre will be coming together in the town square for an Easter parade and egg hunt.

We hope you have all had a great week,


Miss Jess, Miss Nicole, Miss Ellen, Miss Georgia and Miss Kim
