This year we are having Hot dogs and Fairy floss.

Fire Truck

Dear Parents and Caregivers

The Kindy room has been lucky enough to secure a visit from a South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) fire appliance on Thursday, 15 September 2016 at 10:30am. This will be an exciting time for the children (and staff) and will fit in nicely with the our focus on transport!

The fire truck will be parked in the front carpark and the children will watch from behind the gate (with hopefully the option of small groups approaching the firetruck to have a closer look, accompanied by a staff member).

At the moment we are limiting the fire truck visit to the Kindy room as the MFS have conditions that children are over the age of four (though all of our Kindy children here on the day will be included as this has been negotiated beforehand) and of course have a maximum number of children preferred for presentations.

We are really looking forward to their visit!

Thank you

Emily, Sam L, Sam B, Sophie and Guitta

Olympics

Dear Parents and Caregivers

To celebrate the end of the Olympics the Kindy room is having an Olympics Day on Thursday 18th of August. Come dressed in your best green and gold, Australian gear, sporting outfits, etc.! We will do lots of Olympics themed games and special activities to celebrate the Olympics. It will be a lot of fun!

Thank you

Emily and the Kindy Room team
