Dear Wilkins families and friends,
What another wonderful week we have had in the room.
This week we have been busy rolling different patterns in our
playdough and creating different shapes! What great fun this has been and a
great way to enhance our fine motor skills.
We have also welcomed some new friends into the Wilkins room this
week. We have watched our cocooned silk worms turn into moths! What a wonderful
experience this has been to observe and study over the past few weeks.
Liam – Dat poo in dere!
Ariana – Why he not wipe his bum?
Lachlan – Why poo?
Chiara – How are there moffs in there now?
Blake – Dey turned in to da butterfly!
Blake – Day not tockoons anymore, dey butterflies!
We have also been exploring different forms of expressing
ourselves through arts. This week we have created some wonderful paintings on
fabric with food colouring. We were able to spray the food colouring onto the
fabric and watch it change colours. Our Christmas preparations are also in full
swing, we can’t wait to share some of our creations with you!
A friendly reminder also that our Nativity performance is next Thursday 30th November.
Please
drop all children to the Wilkins room dressed in their denim bottoms and
white tops by 8:45am at the latest, regardless of whether Thursday is their
day. All children will need to be signed in, there will be a separate sheet for
non-Thursday children.
After drop off, please make your way up to Anzac Hall to
secure a good spot for the performance. Please do not linger in the foyer or
approach the stage when we are up there, as this upsets children. After our
songs, staff will walk all children back to the ELC for morning tea while you
enjoy the rest of the performance.
At the conclusion of the performance,
families who are taking their children home can come and collect them from the
ELC. If your child is staying for the remainder of the day, we ask that you
please just leave rather than them seeing you and upsetting them. Please come
and see a staff member if you have any questions about this.
We hope you enjoy your weekend,
Jess, Ellen, Courtenay and Melissa
