Dear Parents,

Welcome back to Kindergarten after our Easter break and thankyou for all the wonderful Easter eggs staff received before the break. It has been lovely to see the children excitedly coming back to Kindergarten after the break. We were thrilled to hear about all the visits from Easter Bunny and relieved that he was able to find everybody, even those in Western Australia or the few who spent Easter with Nanny and Grandpa!

We would especially like to welcome Henry N, Peter, Connor, Zachary, Aadi and their families to Kindergarten and hope that they all enjoy their first term with us. We hope that this is beginning of a long and successful journey at the college.

During the break we were thrilled to hear of the arrival of Christian’s new baby sister, Isabelle. Happily Mum and baby are doing well and we pass on our congratulations to the whole family.

This term children will be engaged in a unit of inquiry entitled “Our Family Tree”. Thankyou to all the families who have returned their family tree sheet, it has already proved very helpful as children have begun to illustrate their understanding of their family unit. For those families who have not yet returned their family tree sheet you can find this sheet in the light box on the right hand side of our blog site. Please download it, print it off, complete it and return it as soon as possible to assist us with our work in the classroom.

We are also looking for some other bits and pieces to help us with our exploration of family rolls and would be thrilled if anybody could help us with the following:
*Toilet or gladwrap rolls
*Old jackets, hats, gloves, special shoes, handbags or purses, belts, ties etc… for the children to use as part of their family dressing up corners
*Baby bits and pieces such as bottles, bibs, bouncers, rattles etc… also for our dramatic play corners

We would also appreciate it if families could please return any outstanding portfolios to classrooms so that children may begin adding this terms work.
We are looking forward to an exciting and busy term ahead
Thankyou
The Kindergarten Team
