Easter Hat Parade


All the children showed off their hats made with love and sticky tape in the Easter Hat Parade. The hot cross buns also went like hotcakes and we had a visit from the “Easter Bunny”. Also we celebrated children’s birthdays with ice cream cakes and we discussed more about road safety.

Three Little Pigs, an Invitation to Play


This week the children had an opportunity to explore story telling through play by using props.
The children used this activity to become confidently involved learners by using their creativity, curiosity, imagination and exploration. It’s also a great opportunity for social interaction and communication.

Munch & Move

Through the NSW Dept of Health which promoted “Munch & Move” in October 2010, St Marys Blinky Bills Pre-School entered a competition showing how the centre implemented the initiatives promoted. This resulted in a $500.00 grant in January 2011 to supplement our centre supplies to promote physical and nutritional development. We followed this up last month winning a second $500.00 grant. Parents and staff should be rightly proud of their centre. Through our program we maintain a continuous balance of physical and nutritional experiences.
