Today the Stars brought the classic story 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' to life through dramatic play! 🐐

With wonderful enthusiasm and imagination, they took on the roles of the three billy goats and the grumpy troll, using expressive voices, creative movements, and teamwork to retell the story. Through this experience, the children developed their confidence, communication skills, creativity, and understanding of storytelling.

Today Jackie delivered an interactive SeeMore Safety early childhood education program at preschool. The program uses the SeeMore puppet and storybooks to teach children vital risk assessment, road, home, and community safety skills. Today SeeMore and Jackie taught the children about road safety. Following this the children worked collaboratively to conduct a risk assessment for our upcoming Hammond Care visit, assessing the road safety risks.

Welcome back to Term 3!!! We hope all our families had a wonderful term break. This term SEEMORE will be continuing his visits home. We are asking families to look at safety from a health and hygiene perspective. SEEMORE wants to know, 'What can your family do to help stop germs from spreading?'. More information can be found in the SEEMORE book when he visits your house.

Last Friday our preschool chefs traveled to France through cooking as we made the classic French soup, Vichyssoise! 🇫🇷🥣

The children had a wonderful time helping to prepare the ingredients while learning about French culture and language. As we cooked, we practiced counting in French together: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq! 🇫🇷✨

The little chefs developed important skills including counting, measuring, following directions, teamwork, and trying new foods. Exploring different cultures through cooking helps children build confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning!

Pick the famous artwork 🎨

One has mysterious proportions, unusual perspective, and leaves you wondering what the artist was thinking.

The other was painted by Leonardo da Vinci.

No offense, Leo, but the competition was fierce.

As part of our Preschool French Day celebrations, families will be invited to take a special trip to the "Louvre" to admire and purchase beautiful artworks the children have created. Families are invited to visit and purchase their child's masterpiece for a donation of $5 or more!!! per artwork (more information about payment to come).

This fun experience encourages the children to take pride in their creativity while experiencing a little piece of French culture. We look forward to sharing this special day with you and celebrating the children's artistic talents!
