Another great few weeks we have had in the Emu room.
We are very very lucky to have Freddie as our music teacher on a Monday. She truly is super amazing. The different program she brings every week is so energetic she inspires me and the children.
Wednesday is still our Spanish day with Miss Victoria. We are learning to count from 1-10. She is great with the children. Music is also a great part of the program.
Friday’s is sport. Every week they concentrate on a different sport.
We are lucky to have these people help us with these extra activities.
In previous communication I have said if your child comes on another day and you are interested in these classes I will do my best to fit them in. Please call me if you have any questions re classes.
We have also changed our rest time. Previously we had quite time resting on large pillows with a friend but now we are having activities time. I have found a few different challenging ideas working on all of our fine motor skills. They are proving very popular with all of the children. If your child is tired and needs a little rest we still have quiet time in the back room. We still have a few children that just like to chill out with a book and a friend which is great as well.
We are seriously busy everyday and don’t have enough time to do all of the activities that I plan for the week. Please let me know if there is any further help I can be with any of your concerns.
Thanks Miss Marg

What a very busy month we have had in the Emu room.
We have had two projects going for the month. It’s a bugs 🐞 life and Pirates. We have been following the children’s interests with these subjects. Come in and have a look at our two project walls.
We have also had Henny Penny Hatching 🐣 how amazing was that. All of the children enjoyed watching from eggs to chicks. We talked about the life cycle of a chicken as well as a lot of conversations re our eggs we buy from the supermarket.
Easter has also been a big interest with lots of craft. We have had many conversations about what we will be doing for Easter as a family. The Easter bunny 🐰 has also been a very keen topic. This afternoon is our Easter Hat Parade. We have worked really hard so we hope everyone will enjoy.
Our playground looks amazing. We have two new hutches for our pet rabbit Caramel and our two pet guinea pigs. Have a look them.
Have a very Happy Easter
Thanks, Miss Marg, Miss Julie and Miss Emily.

This week in the Emu room we celebrated Australia Day , we spoke about being Australian and how we are a multicultural country even though we don’t look the same. We learnt to sing Waltzing Matilda, We Are Australian, and Advance Australia Fair. We made the Australian and Aboriginal flags which are displayed on our wall, we read Aboriginal Dreamtime stories and even had a thong throwing competition!
Our babies area has been very popular as well as our block area. The drawing table has been very busy with the children focusing on writing their names This week we said goodbye to our beautiful friends Abby, Fletcher and Spencer, we wish them well starting at their new schools. Happy Australia Day everyone!
Have a wonderful weekend Miss Marg, Miss Emily, Miss Julie and Miss Indi.
