TERM 3 Weeks 1-2 - welcome back!
/
👋 LIVE FROM THE HIVE … 👋
WELCOME TO TERM 3!
Hard to believe we’re half way throuigh the year, and Brrrrrrrr - it’s chilly! 🥶 🥶 It’s really important to make sure that the children come to school with enough warm clothes. Pack layers, put names in everything and let’s do out best to keep the kids warm. We always encourage the children to check their bags for a warm layer, and we offer spares if they don’t have enough. However, we can’t man-handle children into something they don’t want to wear, so please explain to your children that it makes sense to keep themselves warm!
👖 DO YOU NEED TO RETURN BORROWED CLOTHES? 👚
Following on from above, we often lend out clothes to kids who need an extra layer. If you borrowed something during HP, please wash and return as soon as possible, so we can repeat the favour for someone else! 🫶
🤒 PLEASE KEEP SICK SICK KIDS AT HOME 🤧
With Covid still around, and flu and gastro also rife - please do the right thing and keep poorly children at home. We really want to take care of all the kids at The Hive - and our wonderful staff too!
👨🍳 🎨 🎲 WHAT HAVE THE KIDS BEEN UP TO? 🏏 🧸 🧪
What a wonderful start to Term 3! The kids have had SO much to get involved with, from crafts, to sports, to science, to baking…
ART & CRAFT: we made hanging sloths, paint-splat teddies, pet birds, 3-D trees, snow-globes, funky ‘taches, clay models and we made good use of everything in our recycling drawer
EXPLORE & DISCOVER: we were outside as much as possibloe, working in the garden, making BUG hotels, and playiong tic-tac-toe with foraged natural materials. Our little scientists had a fascintaing fortnight with a coin experiment (using vinegar to shine-up tarnished coins), designing with home-made salt dough and making invisible ink from cream of tartar
BAKING CLUB: we made a reduced sugar version of this recipe for BANANA & RASPBERRY MUFFINS. Yummy!! …and for the savoury option, we made CHEESYMITE SCROLLS - so good!
SPORTS: we ran off a LOT of energy this fortnight, with dodgeball, soccer, kickball, spikeball, beanbag relays, netball, parachute games and hoops… and more!
Thanks to BENJI in Y1 for his suggestion of an UNO COMPDETITION - very popular with the kids!
🏖️ HOLIDAY PROGRAM 🏖️
Was a roaring success - hope you enjoyed all the photos from our previous newsletter (below). Work has already begun on planning the October HP and it’s looking pretty awesome…!
🐌 OUR GARDEN 🌿
Nelly is busy making use of the grant money from Junior Landcare, buying things for our brand new SENSORY GARDEN! The kids are fully involved in the ideas, the design and physical creation of the garden, which is starting to take shape. We will share the journey and the outcome with you, through this newsletter!
