Dear Wilkins families,
This week we have been preparing to celebrate National Red Balloon
Day. The children have already shown immense interest in firetrucks, so it was
an easy task getting them involved in making our very own out of boxes that
have been kindly donated from some PAC families. After our fire truck was
finished we decided to show the children some clips about what fire trucks can
do, why they were created and who drives our fire trucks. The children shared
some wonderful thoughts, ideas and even suggestions on how they could make the
firetruck better.
On Thursday Miss Ellen arranged for us to do some
baking and kindly brought some ingredients for our class to decorate their own.
The children helped measure, pour and stir, practicing fantastic patience and
turn taking. We have turned our home corner into a cupcake shop, so you might
have some little helpers in your kitchens at home in the coming weeks asking to
make some delicious treats.
Lastly, during transition something we find helpful in making
the children to feel safe and supported in their classroom is a family
photo which they can look at, so we have created a space to hang these. At your
earliest convenience we would love it if you could bring your favorite family
piccy in!
Hope you had a lovely week,
Miss Jess, Miss Nicole, Miss Ellen, Miss Georgia and Miss Kim
