Today we had opportunity to take group photo during our play at Spencer Street Reserve. The day has 31 degree Celsius, our hats were taken away for photos:-) for the time being.

Hello everyone!
It's been so long ago since I posted something here. Here is the first ever lunch photo in our frontyard after the new look of the pathway:-) Children are loving it.

These past few weeks, the focus of our activities was on developing gross motor skills. As you can see, going to park isn't enough at all. We need to do something with our extra energy left until the moment we go to bed at night...🤣🤣 . The photos showed: on our way to park, at the park with skipping ropes,tree climbing and other group game, and back to kinder, then we do more long jumps, walking on a straight line, jump into a square and hopscotch and dance. We are growing fast, so we play more and eat more and rest less😄 Lastly, grandma of Gus made him a Gruffalo beanie, wow, what a talent.👏

Hello Everyone,
We just had an amazing 3 weeks that went by super fast with tons of activities, fundraising events and the assessment process from the edu.department are the highlights. Below are the photos, I hope that you will enjoy seeing them, and feeling them how much fun we had!
A big THANK YOU to Simon, Jess and Sammy for a very successful fundraising disco night!

Thank you very much Araleena for the wonderful Healthy Kids workshop, it was invaluable indeed, we all loved the workshop.

Children were busy playing and working:-)
- new toy- bugs building, incursion by Angela on Aboriginal learning and stories, necklaces/wrist band making, everyone loves memory group games, volcano eruption, making bridges at the park using twigs and leaves, climbing a tree? yes, the number of confident kids in climbing a tree is increasing no doubt:-) and finally wool felting.

Sunrise Thornbury celebrated its 1st Birthday on 23rd May 2017. Lots of yummy cakes, dances and games.
-children enjoyed the hospital and care corner so much
-drumming circle lesson with Zara
-a favorite chore, washing dishes
-numeracy
-first trip to Henderson park - children didn't show tiredness after a long half an hour walk to and fro. Big children from Thornbury Primary school come to see our children at the park.
-one fine cold morning, I saw snowflakes on our crash mat, children got to see and feel it.

Hello there everyone, it has been long time since the last posting, we had 2 camera's broken:-( and it took a little while to get back to the flow again. Anyhow I am posting here just the most recent photos ( activities) children had last week and this week.
-too much fun with tug-of-war, yoga relaxation, visit of ginger and flopsy (Aryana's rabbits), wooden bed blocks, Neinei reading to Foxy, duck-duck-goose at the park, yay fun on the way to the park (no need for hats), water ballon target:-), more mess on hand painting, marble painting, playdough muffins-making. I was so amazed that several children said that their favorite fruit is pomegranate:-) Enjoy as we all do!

-indoor group game of duck, duck goose (?)
-sometimes, when I feel low, and miss my mum, I would just go to my portfolio and look at my photos, with my baby sister (Ellis)
-you can never know what these kids find in the park - very resourceful indeed, they played with it as 'gate', can you guess what it was?
-Yoga with Mel is always so interesting - we are lucky to have her to do yoga with us.
- at rainy days - there are always things to do in the wet ground/floor - just don't get your bottom wet!
- children are learning numeracy
- cleaning the blackboard.

From these photos, children are learning how to write their names (using clay or writing on chalkboard etc), some maths and architectural design, and other innovative creations like stick insects from plain white papers on sticky tape, and pottery made of clay. They also experience how to serve their fellow friends with crackers during morning tea, and having lunch at the park. Trying out the group game that they learned from the volunteers from primary school nearby, matching friends card game, as well as we had another visit of our friend police officer, with lots of high fives after the meeting, last but not the least tiny lego building is the week's best hit. Stay tuned for more photos and posts next week.
