Hello Everyone
This week we welcome Matthew and his family. We have been working on finding out more about the body, following up on the children’s interest in the brain and thinking, and blood. There are two life size bodies on the wall in preschool and we have started adding a brain and nervous system to one. There are plans for a circulatory system for the other, with plastic tubing! We have also been having discussions about how our body relays information to the brain and vice versa and also how our hearts pump blood around our bodies.
We have also been talking about where you can and cannot go when you are at preschool. CASP is out of bounds during the day until CASP time. If children want to go to the library they need to ask one of the teachers to accompany them.
On this coming Monday 18th May we will begin going to the park at the end of Dorritt Street. The Monday group has made some agreements for how we will walk to the park. We leave at 9.30am amd return at 11.00am, in time for canteen morning tea. We take fruit with us in the backpack to cut up for morning tea. There is a tap at the park for drinks of water.Children need to wear a hat and be at school by 9.30am so that we can leave promptly. Luuk and Willem will be going to the park with us each Monday until they leave on the 18th June. They will be planning different games and physical activities. Please sign the permission slip that will be on the sign on sheet each Monday morning – it’s really important to remember do this otherwise we have to start phoning parents for permission or leave children behind at school!!
There will be breakfast at school this Friday 15th May, from 7.30am onwards. Come and meet other parents and enjoy the Currambena spirit. Payman (mum of Avah in Aussiekids) is organising the breakfast and as she has fractured her wrist she needs people to lift tables and help setting up. Please see Payman if you can help.
It’s Information Morning at 10.00am this morning for people to find out about Currambena. Michael is working while I do various admin tasks for the rest of the day.
Preschool and Aussiekids (Fran and Jo’s) will be holding a stall to raise money to buy books for the library at Heartland Children’s Academy in Nepal on Tuesday 7th July 2009. Please start going through your cupboards and bookshelves for items you no longer need to donate to the stall. We will also sell cakes and biscuits, so start planning some recipes to make as well!
Thanks to everyone who spirits away our bags of dirty washing and returns everything clean. We appreciate it!!
Lastly, we need an urgent Maintenance job done – can anyone replace one of the top rungs on the wooden climbing frame?
Love from
Sue, Chris and Gabriela.
