Ribbons and Movement.

Based on a Movement Seminar the staff attended, we followed through with ribbon activities like passing to each other and following directions, the children picked up the concept quite well.

MiniMasterChef.

During the week, the children experienced cooking by mixing and stirring and eating the final product for afternoon tea. Yum yum.

Fishing and Sun Protection.

Our boats were well used with fishing and sun protection awareness while wearing hats and relaxing in the boats.

Gardening Project continued.


Planting carrots this week continued our environmental theme with gardening; children were very excited to complete their task.

Tidiness.


We also discussed keeping our room tidy and picking up objects off the floor for safety. The children understood the reasons for these practices.

Birthday Time Again


3 staff at St Marys Blinky Bills Pre-School had birthday celebrations this past week. We played pass the parcel with the children and ate birthday cake. Yum yum

Clown Day

Don't forget to send your little students dressed up as a clown on Wednesday. The staff dress up as well which makes for a fun day. Some of the staff have already had a trial run.

Gardening is continued

Over the last week, we have continued on with our gardening project by extending into our own market garden.
The children at St Marys Blinky Bills Pre-School have had pleasure in gardening with using their gardening gloves, lots of dirt, shovels, and a large variety of vegetables.
These have been planted out in the foam boxes you see in the south paddock by the highway.
As with the last summer crop harvested at the centre, the children will participate with the consumption as well. All a bit green don’t you think?
