Welcome BBQ

It was wonderful to see so many families brave the heat and join us at kinder for our first social event for the year!

 
The BBQ was a great chance for parents to get to know each other in a more relaxed atmosphere, while past, present and future kinder children enjoyed playing together.



 


Thank you to everyone who brought along food to share!
Thanks also to the committee members who helped organise the event and wielded bbq tongs in the heat, and to Baker's Delight Glen Waverley for providing bread for the occasion.

Routines at kinder

This term the children will learn basic routines within the kindergarten program:

• Indoor play
• Pack-up time
• Group time
• Snack time
• Outdoor time
• Story time

When we follow a routine the children feel safe and secure.

 

Learning social skills

The children learn to co-operate with others in their play. Learning to share the equipment is a social skill that takes time to learn.

At group times, the children develop listening skills - listening to the teacher and to their friends, and waiting for their own turn to contribute. We have learnt two songs with the children: 'Roly-poly' and 'Bow to your partner.'

 Making a class book

Some of the parents have given us a photo of their child with a small amount of information. These will made into a book for the children. The children will be able to look at the pictures and become more familiar with their new friends.

2013 Working Bee Roster

Here is the Roster for Working Bees this year.
Working Bees run from 9-11 AM on Sunday mornings once or twice per term. Each kinder family is rostered to help out. If you can't make your rostered date, please swap with another family so we will still have a group that can get the jobs done on that day.
Bring along your gloves, brooms, rakes, shovels, blowers or trimmers - and help support our Kindergarten community!
