Father’s day week!!

What a fun time we had at our special Daddy’s Day baby classes!! We had 53 dads & bubs come along to our 4 special classes on Saturday.

The classes were so much fun with some rock and roll yoga, lots of  drumming, bubbles and massage and balloons and parachutes.

The dads had a lovely morning tea while they played with their bubs, and a few mums sat by and watched dad learn some baby signing. What fun!

Week 8

We worked hard on our counting skills! Thi sweek it was all about leaves and we did “splatter” painting, counting and sorting.

The play dough recipe was a big hit with parents! The children loved making “food” out of play dough!

Great for fine motor development, language and numeracy!

Our new play gym was a big hit!

“I love the rock wall”  “me too!”

 

     

‘see us slide fast!”

 

“its so cool” “I can hang up side down all by my self!”

 

 

“can we do spinner painting every week!

 

I caught it my self!

 

“How many blue buses?”

 

“I can write my name!”

 

 

Week 1

We have had some fantastic feedback as parents tell their friends about the centre!

The children looked beautiful in their shirts!

 

One class stopped to watch a little friend roll, just as Kelly our teacher had demonstrated -we were all so busy watching his amazing rolling that it wasn’t until he stopped that we noticed he had left a trail of sand from his jeans from Preschool from one end of the room to the other – very funny! 

 

And a surprised mother watched her child participate in our art activity of caterpillar making after stating, “He never stands still long enough to be interested in art” but our friend did indeed make a caterpillar, not just one! His entire sheet of cardboard was filled with colourful caterpillars, “A first!”said mum.

Everyone loved the new equipment!!!
