We had our last playgroup for the year on Wednesday, and enjoyed searching for stickers hidden around the playground to go on our trees, then playing pass-the-parcel. We then went back inside for some cool air-con and yummy food and play. We wish everyone a wonderful Christmas!!

We got into some messy jelly today with some excavating of toy insects, then mushing it all together to see what colours we could make. Then was some building - building towers with blocks and putting Duplo together; plus we built sandcastles outside in the sandpit. Only a couple of weeks left for our term at playgroup.

Playgroup was a messy time on Wednesday as we did some painting and explored different colours and ways to apply paint. Then we headed out to the sandpit and dug and kicked balls on the oval.

We had such a busy time at playgroup on Wednesday! We made some fresh playdough and then made some banana and berry smoothies, and tried knocking over skittles. We counted numbers and put together jigsaw puzzles, then went out to the playground and had a crack at T-ball. There were some strong muscles with our children! Next week we'll be getting messy with painting 😀

At playgroup today, we spent some time with jigsaw puzzles, using matching and sorting skills, then used tools with the playdough - all good exercises for our hands and fine-motor skills. We sang some songs and read about the Wheels on the Bus... at the zoo! What a crazy adventure with all the animals! Then we fed the chooks and rooster at the school with our scraps and checked out the playground after the rain. Lots of birds enjoying the flowers and trees - rainbow lorikeets, black cockatoos, and magpies.

We had a busy day back at playgroup, for our first week of Term 4! We had a go at making a balloon blaster (or launcher) and discussed the prehistoric Quetzalcoatlus which had a wing-span of 11 metres! ...and also found other dinosaurs strategically in the schoolgrounds. We sang some songs and made some music with our instruments, then interacted with pretend cats in the sandpit. Next week will be a bit of messy fun with spaghetti 😀

We had busy preparations for a tea party at playgroup today, then got distracted with making a castle and princess scene, then enjoyed getting out in the sunshine and the sand. We will be taking a break over the school holidays, and resume on Wednesday 15 October.

We sang nursery rhymes, did some dancing and got the dinosaurs stomping in playdough today! Hope to see you all next week for the last playgroup of Term 3.

A good day at playgroup today with some colouring, some reading about friendship and being kind (thinking about RU OK? day coming up), as well as playdough and then out to the sandpit and trains on the slide!

We enjoyed the beautiful weather at playgroup yesterday, enjoying playdough and drawing on the verandah, then marveling at the mountain in the sandpit! The playground is always popular on these sunny Spring days.
