Dear Wilkins
friends and families,
This week
we have welcomed our newest staff member Miss Courtenay. Miss
Courtenay brings with her a wealth of experience and is
studying her Bachelor of Early Childhood through Swinburne
University. She has a lovely and warm nature and our children and
colleagues have already begun building relationships with her.
The first week of
holidays has brought smiles to everyone's faces with this beautiful weather! We
had lots of happy children and staff who wanted to go outside and soak up
as much vitamin D as possible. On Wednesday we spent the afternoon outside
playing with water, building sand castles and sharing afternoon tea with our
teddy bears! Miss Kim in the kitchen made us home made lamingtons which were a
huge hit and our teddy bear picnic was a great success!
On Thursday we
went on an adventure to the rainbow playground. We were so impressed with all
of our Wilkins friends who walked together so nicely and listened to their
teachers about road safety. When we arrived at the playground we enjoyed some
time on the swings, climbing the jungle gym, playing in the sand pit and going
down the curly slippery slide!
Next week we will
be doing our animal collage. Thank you to all of you who have already brought
in photos of your child with their family pet or favourite pet.
Finally, a
friendly reminder that we are now wearing hats. If your child doesn't have
one please bring one in as soon as possible.
From Miss Renee,
Miss Ellen, Miss Courtenay and Miss Kim
