25.01.2022 Wow! What a great Outdoor Only Learning Day with our new fire pit. We have regular gatherings around the fire during our Outdoor Only Learning Days for eating, crafting, talking, singing, storytelling and lately DRAWING! Each child has their own sketch book that only comes out for our special Outdoor Only Days. Have a peek at some of their pictures of the new fire pit and gathering circle.

08.01.2022 It is a cold Outdoor Only Learning Day today but the fire is keeping us warm..... the children have been bush architects, constructing with sticks, leaves, bark, flowers, string and other natural materials. We believe that a shelter like this in our local Kaurna language is called a Wurlie.

07.01.2022 Here is a real life version of a few stories on high rotation at Grove Kindergarten @grovekgn Find a copy of Alexanders Outing by Pamela Allen or Make Way for Duckings by Robert McCloskey. Then show this video of an amazing duckling rescue

07.01.2022 Maps have been a big part of our TWO excursions this week. Many of the children connected the pictures and symbols on the maps with their experiences of walking around the gardens. This is both a literacy and a mathematical experience. We are also reflecting on our experiences by revisiting the maps, the photos and our memories as we document our experiences in a variety of ways... if you have a few minutes at drop off time come in a watch the movies that have been made on the big screen. Take some extra time to talk to your child about their excursion or even better, revisit the Botanic Gardens or Carrick Hill with them and let THEM show YOU around!

06.01.2022 Look who got their birthday badge at Kindy today!

05.01.2022 Lets remember all the other ways we can help our world through using resources in sustainable ways. Reducing our use of single use plastics (where safe and appropriate) is good for all. Bring food and drinks to Kindy in reusable containers! Reduce comes before reuse and recycle!

04.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers in our Grove Kindergarten community... Enjoy this day and every day with those beautiful people that turned you into mothers and send love to the mothers that made you ... wherever they are

04.01.2022 A Monday podcast..... Have you ever wondered what makes a good toy? Is the creation of toys driven by good design, what children need or what they want? This is an interesting discussion about the origins of toys, the universality of blocks and a bit of futuristic thinking! ( I hope the link works)

04.01.2022 A warm welcome was waiting for our Wednesday/Thursday groups first outdoor only learning day.

03.01.2022 Just because we havent had a story in a while....I wonder if youve been to the beach on a cold and windy day? https://www.facebook.com/fishcreekgallery/videos/2515494482036725

03.01.2022 Here is a fun video for the weekend! Enjoy and keep singing! You could make a Kitchen Family Band and get out the wooden spoons, pots and pans, cutting boards, metal spoons etc..... the kitchen instruments are only limited by your imagination!

03.01.2022 Just like the words of our Grove values song.... BE KIND, BE FRIENDLY AND DO YOUR BEST!

02.01.2022 Just a few images of our FANTASTIC VIRTUAL FAMILY GAMES NIGHT. It was wonderful to have 41 families join in to have some fun with us....a bit of mayhem, a few techno-fizzes, a reasonable amount of excitement but overall a great way to connect in 2020! We would love to hear your feedback ... how do you think it went? PS Send your photos to Kindy... we want to make a memory wall of our event!

02.01.2022 Wishing one of our special staff members, Santa, a very Happy Birthday for last Saturday.
