Wilkins

Dear Wilkins friends and family,

To all the beautiful mum's that were able to make it to this year's Princesses Tea Party we hope you had a wonderful time and thank you to those who kindly donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation. It was wonderful to see the children spoiling you all, and we are sure those who had their nails painted by our Wilkins friends have never had them look better!!!

This week the weather has limited us to utilising our classroom and other indoor areas, especially the workshop. We have been working on our fine and gross motor skills by using scissors, threading beads, stacking pegs and sorting different sized pompoms. The children have worked together to create 'castles' made from blocks (Isla and Billy), train lines for us to escape from 'monsters' (Xavier and Samuel) and 'getaway cars' (Tom and GiGi) using hoops. It has been wonderful watching the dramatic play scenarios this week as it shows signs of the children building strong relationships by interacting with one another to share their vivid imaginations.

Finally we also celebrated Stirling's 3rd birthday. We named our class pet geckos. We thought long and hard about what to name our special friends and came up with..... Gusto and Garry!!!

Have a lovely weekend,


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