Hello everyone,
It’s been a big week in preschool!
On Monday, we farewelled Abi with warm hugs and heartfelt thanks as our new Diploma-trained assistant commenced with us. To celebrate, the children helped bake banana bread and banana bread cupcakes, and we finished the day with a cheerful little party.
By Wednesday, we warmly welcomed Abi back into the fold, as it became clear that the new assistant was not the right fit for our dynamic and child-led environment. It was lovely to have Abi’s familiar presence and energy return to preschool so quickly.
Throughout the week, our group times have continued to focus on fire and fire safety. The children have become very knowledgeable about what to do in the event of a fire, both in terms of prevention and response. In a stroke of perfect timing, we had a fire drill shortly after one of our sessions, providing an excellent real-world opportunity to put our learning into practice.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to share that on Thursday, May 29, from 10am to 12pm, the preschool children will be heading up to The Canopy to take part in this year’s Children’s Voices for Reconciliation. If your child does not normally attend on Thursdays, you are most welcome to join us for this special community event. Further details will be shared with all families shortly.
Wishing you a lovely weekend,
Katrina, Lisa and Abi
