Insects and Stories

Insects - we looked at the environment where they live and what they eat, so the children at St Marys Blinky Bills Pre-School created a grassy leaf environment to display in our room. Felt board stories were told where children began to understand that all stories are not written.

Road Safety and Exercise

We have been focusing on road safety this week with holding hands when going outside with grown ups, and exercise which keeps our bodies healthy. Musical statues and the hokey pokey were enjoyed by all children and staff with body parts being identified.

Worlds Biggest Morning Tea

This week has been a busy one with our biggest morning tea going all week, with donations and cups of tea have been flowing each day. We have raised $130.00 in donations. Well done to everyone.

St Marys Blinky Bills Pre-School management team have decided to match this amount taking the count to $260.00 in total. This amount will be forwarded on to the Cancer Council.

Mothers Day

With last week being a short week we listened to all the exciting stories from the children about what they did on their holiday break over Easter, some went to the Easter show and some went camping, most stayed home and enjoyed eating Easter eggs.
During this week we have been talking about our Mums, reading stories and drawing wonderful pictures of Mums and Nans. Our easel has been extremely busy painting flowers and faces to give to Mum on their special day. Our special guessing competition is fun with some Mums turning the bottle upside down in an attempt to count the items inside to place the winning number on the board. Have a wonderful Mothers Day to everyone.
