CLASSROOM VISITORS

Parents and grandparents were invited into the KE and K/1D classrooms on Monday to

assist in a special lesson. The students had been learning about their past and how

things have changed over time. The visitors helped to make timelines for Kindergarten.

They shared stories about the things they liked to do when they were young. The

children were then able to make comparisons with their own lives. The class was

interested in how many things had changes (and how many things had stayed the

same).

Kindy News

KE enjoyed reading ‘The Very Hungry

Caterpillar’ so much that they decided to

perform their own version at school

children, made the props and helped

them to learn their parts. Everyone had

fun!
