Carols Under the COLA

Last Wednesday St John's celebrated their annual Carols Under The COLA! It was a joyful community event that kicked off with a BBQ organised by the P&F committee. Kindergarten were sparkling, twinkling stars during our whole school performance of the Nativity Story, and they did an amazing job! We then sang Rudolph as our fun Christmas carol and very much looked the part with our reindeer ears and nose on! The night wouldn't be complete without a visit from Santa! Everyone cheered with excitement as he appeared with treats for all the kiddies!

Toy Designing & Making

A few weeks ago, Santa wrote to Kindergarten asking for their help in designing new toys for Christmas next year. Kindergarten was very eager to help Santa and so we got thinking, brainstorming and designing straight away! We then made prototypes of our designs using recyclable materials, with the help of some of our lovely parents and grandparents!

Have a look at what Kinder Gold designed and made during our Toy Extravaganza!

Buddies!

This year, we spent lots of time with our Year 5 Buddies and have really made some good friendships. We enjoy doing lots of activities together and look forward to our weekly 'Buddy Lunch' on Friday afternoons! Enjoy browsing the slideshow of pictures below with our buddies...

VISUAL ARTS WITH MRS. RYAN

This term we have been very lucky to take part in a Visual Arts Program in the Studio with the very talented Mrs. Ryan. The children love coming to learn various art techniques and applying these to their own masterpieces!

Water Fun Day!

Today, Primary had their annual Swimming Carnival. Now Infants were not going to miss out on any fun, so we decided to have our very own Water Fun Day at school! Throughout the day, Kindergarten participated in a variety of activities, with a 'water' theme. Some of these included watching a fun Water Safety video clip and creating a poster, Water painting, and Water games outside! Have a look at our slideshow of photos below of the fun we had!

Here is the water safety video we watched on the day. How many water safety rules can you remember Timone and Pumba taught us?

A Special Visit...

Today, Kindergarten was visited by Mr Matheson, the Federal Member for Macarthur. Mr Matheson spoke to Kindergarten about how important it is to read, and even read us a story. Before he left, he gave each Kindergarten student a special gift...a brand new, beautiful picture book!
