Wilkins

Dear Wilkins families and friends,

We have had a spectacular last week of Term 3! 

Spring has sprung and, thanks to Alfie, we have been examining the blossom from his tree and creating our own paintings using plastic bottles. We also refreshed our garden, giving it a good weed and planting some sunflower seeds - we can’t wait for them to sprout and grow. 

We have continued to practice our jumping outside and developed our movement and balance skills using the bouncing balls.

The children have continued their literary exploration of The Watermelon Seed book, retelling their own versions of the book using puppets we have created.

Instruments, music and movement have continued to be a big hit with the children creating all different types of sounds and music. We have started to talk about quiet soft sounds and big loud sounds - its been very noisy some days! 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Sports Day on Thursday, we have some very quick budding athletes in our midst.

Please see below the Holiday Program for the next two weeks and make note of any special days that apply to your child - lots of fun experiences have been planned for the children!

Enjoy your long weekend.

Best wishes,


Ellen, Courtenay, Melissa, Chelsea and Jess
