Wilkins

Dear Wilkins Friends and Families,

This week we had a very special visit from SeaStar Rock! SeaStar Rock is a locally produced music and dance show for kids. It promotes marine sustainability using charismatic characters, catchy songs, and colourful costumes to explore the world.  Since a successful live performance launch at the Adelaide Fringe in 2015, SeaStar Rock has been performing to thousands of children around South Australia. The children were able to join in by following the dance moves and singing along to their catchy tunes. Thank you to Mr Charlwood for organising such a wonderful show for the whole center.

As we are nearing the end of term we have been noticing how much our little Wilkins friends have progressed. Some have been engaging more with their interest in reading and we often find them quietly looking through a book in a quiet space. Some have been pushing their gross motor abilities and taking risks on our outdoor climbing and balancing equipment. And others have really come out of their shell and have begun making friendships with their peers. It has been wonderful watching their confidence grow and some have been able to express their current interests with their teachers in order for us to plan meaningful experiences. 

We are looking forward to our upcoming holiday programme, please have a little look to see if we have any activities planned on your child's days which require special dress or something from home. Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you next week!

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


PS Miss Ellen is about to take off on her exciting overseas adventure! We hope she has a wonderful time and we will see her back with us in 5 weeks.
