Preschool News Week 6 Term 4
Hello everyone,
Now that the concert is over, we’ve spent some time reflecting on it. Our actual performance didn’t go to plan which happens sometimes. The concert is live and there are no second chances if things go awry, which unfortunately they did though, as the adage states, “The show must go on.” We had told the children no matter what we needed to keep going and we did. We were all a little shocked and very discombobulated when a few rouge performers got overexcited, though we managed to keep going and by the third and fourth performance pieces we were back into the swing of things. I know we have some upset families, and for that I am truly sorry. By most accounts the children and their families enjoyed the night. The experience in its entirety had some great opportunities for learning. A massive and heartfelt thanks to Jess, Zahli’s mum, for all the work and time she did in assisting us all with the performances. We truly appreciate all her efforts.
A huge thank you to Abi for her amazing work with the children in creating the video and very capably doing the instrumentals for the Rattlin Bog piece. Everyone involved has a copy of the video posted on their Storyparks to be able to reminiscence. Thank you to Nate, Dash’s dad, for splicing the songs the children had chosen to perform to numerous times, as we worked out how the dance would come together.
Now we are back into the grove of our preschool day. We have begun planning for the afternoon tea which will be on Thursday 12th December. Keep a look out for the invitation which your child will be bringing home shortly.
Lastly, thank you to Judy and Lilith (in Wendy’s class) for the large donation of toy dolls that the preschool children have been relishing in using!
Have a great week everyone.
Love
Katrina, Lisa, Abi and Anna
