24.01.2022 Don't forget to RSVP to the Welcome Event! The Welcome Event is a wonderful opportunity to meet other kindy families and enjoy a fun afternoon.

23.01.2022 From the Kindy garden to our hungry tummies! We harvested, cleaned, chopped and cooked the potatoes from our Kindy vegetable garden. What a yummy lunch shared!

22.01.2022 We grew our own potatoes! The children enjoyed the process of caring for the garden, understanding the need to wait until the plants went brown which meant the potatoes were ready, digging them up, washing them, making them into chips and eating them! From garden to plate. Delicious!

22.01.2022 Families have collected take home packs, our online platform is up and running and were having fun playing and programming with smaller numbers of children attending Kindy. We also appeared on 7 news! Its been a big week!

08.01.2022 We made pasta! After the eggs and flour combined, each child got a small piece of dough. They flattened it with their hands and then fed it through the pasta machine 3 times to stretch and then cut into fettuccine. Turning the handle while holding the dough required co-ordination and concentration. We ate the pasta for lunch it was delicious!
