Kinder Superstars have had a busy start and are embracing the start of term 4.   We have loved catching up with our friends and sharing stories after the holidays. 

We have been out and about in the big playground of a Wednesday afternoon and children have loved the responsibility of moving around the school safely.  They are very supportive of each other, encouraging and supporting each other to use the new equipment.  We are very excited about our climbing skills and mastering the big slide.  In a couple of weeks we will be joining the whole school for morning tea play together!  Children are very excited about catching up with older family members and friends.

We have been talking about ‘our community’ and things we like to do and see in our community.  Children have shared some of their adventures during the holidays.  We are enjoying the home corner that has been set up this term.  Children have taken this interest outside and have been very creative building and modifying their own structures out in the playground.  The sand pit continues to be a hit, and children have enjoyed working together to design and build their own sandpit city – complete with shops, school, library, lake and forest.  Activities outside are constantly changing depending on our imagination – campsites, potions, habitats for slaters and millipedes or water production lines in full swing.  Our kitchen proves to continue to be popular – especially with spring blossoms adding an extra touch to our cake decorating skills.

We have been exploring numbers and counting out collections.  We recently enjoyed reading Room on the Broom, counting out twigs to make our own mini broomsticks.  It was lovely to see children then decide to take on the challenge of squeezing as many people onto the broom as possible in their outside play!  We are looking forward to a fun action packed term ahead.
