Wilkins

Dear Wilkins families and friends,

We have loved the sunshine this week and have made the most of our outside play. Just a reminder for all parents to please apply sunscreen to your child each morning ready for outside play and we will reapply in the afternoon. 

A big thank you to Liam dad, Matt, and his ambulance partner Tim who brought in their ambulance for the children to look at and explore on Tuesday. The children loved looking inside, climbing on the bed and sliding down the back board! We also got to have a turn sitting in the front “driving” the ambulance and turning the siren on - it was very loud! Here are some of the children’s reflections of the morning -

They put the sirens on so they can drive on the road to the hospital - Ashlyn Ambulance, an engine. A sirens white - Sammy 
An ambulance, made noises - Zac 
An ambulance, I like the siren because it went so loud - Hugo
Beep, beep, driving - Riley
Ambulance, nee-naw, nee-naw nee-naw - Nicholas
I seen one, red - Alex
Green ambulance. I drive in the front. Ree-aw, ree-aw, nee-aw - Will
Nee-naw, nee-naw, nee-naw - Angus B

We have also been creating body portraits using our faces as a starting point, building with large blocks outside, started making our Christmas surprises for our families, using scissors for a range of different cutting purposes and explored small group throwing and catching ball games to support the development of our social interactions.

We look forward to seeing you all next week.

Best wishes for the weekend,


Ellen, Courtenay, Melissa and Jess
