Winter Season
Welcome to Strawberry Vale preschool. The little house with little shining stars. All our youngsters had a great Christmas break. We got snow and It was magical.
We have moved back to outside days and the weather will be chilly for a while yet so please bring gloves, booty’s, rain gear, warm hats and spare clothing in their backpacks in case they get wet. Please be advised that this is the season of runny noses and coughs, please assess your kiddos health prior to drop off, children are more contagious before symptoms hit.
Peek of the Month
Our friends are really liking Superheroes lately. Children in the morning, super heroes by afternoon. Capes, flying around and saving the day in multiple ways. The children shared some Valentine crafts, games, felt boards and stories about kindness, friends and all sorts of different love stories.
We are regularly making fabulous playdough creations and painting wonderful pictures so keep an eye out for beautiful artwork coming home with your little ones. We also regularly check on our little worm friends in our compost bin. Our little’s love them and often ask which ones are mommy’s, daddy’s and babies. I think because of our worm friends, the favourite book was Worm loves Worm. The felt board stories was a big hit at circle time this week with rainbow ice cream cones and little pigs rolling in mud.
