Hello Everyone
This week it was good to have Chris back ! Thanks to Michael for working, playing, reading, helping resolve conflicts and more while Chris was away . This week we also welcome Amy and her family to preschool. Amy’s sister is Mia, in Aussiekids (Fran, Jo and Sarah’s group).
This week we have been discussing, painting and thinking about numbers. We have also been doing watercolour painting and baking lots of Anzac Biscuits. We have been discussing not throwing anything over the fence, group time agreements and Chris has been describing life in Nepal.
We are planning a stall to raise money to buy books for 3-7 year olds for the library at Heartland Children’s Academy in Nepal. This is the school that Chris volunteered at in the holidays. We will be running the stall with Fran and Jo’s class on Tuesday 7th July 2009 at 12.30 pm. Please go through your homes and look for things you no longer need – books, toys, DVDs, CDs etc, and bring them in on the morning of the stall. You can also bake cakes or make food to sell at the stall. Thanks!!
If anyone would like to care for the chickens on the weekend for the next five weekends, please see me. Caroline and Ricky have volunteered to care for them this weekend, so there are four weekends thereafter that need volunteers. You need to be able to let the chickens out on Saturday and Sunday mornings and then feed them, check their water, and get them in again each evening. The chickens will hopefully reward you with eggs! See me if you would like to do this.
Last week “Sock it to You” catalogues were put in children’s lockers. This is a fundraiser for the school so please order all your winter needs and lots more. Take orders for family and friends, too. The orders need to be put in the box on the preschool desk by next Friday 15th May. Payment is by cash, cheque made out to “Currambena School” or by credit card directly to “Sock it to You”. Please remember the 50c postage payment per customer.
Thanks to all the following people-
- Johnno and Mironne for the boxes, basket and for caring for the chickens all holiday!!
- Carmen (Xanthe’s aunt) for the paper.
- Zack and his family for the wonderful collection of box construction materials.
Love from
Sue, Chris and Gabriela
