We have weekly themes, thus enabling the children to gain a little insight into a wide variety of topics. Wherever possible readiness activities have a theme related base. All activities are aimed at providing a stimulating, but fun learning environment for your child.
What may seem like random activities (ie. threading, peg boards, puzzles, sorting, jumping, throwing etc) are designed for specific purposes, such as fine / gross motor co-ordination, sequencing, learning to follow instructions and so on.
Each class has a weekly programme organiser displayed in the classroom. Parents are welcome to come in before or after school and see what their child will be doing or has done during the week.
- Monday is the start of our weekly theme and introduction to the week.
- Tuesday is Nature Day. Children are encouraged to bring something to do with nature (or something from the garden) to show the class.
- On a Wednesday we relax a bit and have a fun day. The children bring their bikes to school to ride around the track / driveway. Wednesday is also Letterland Day in the Terms 2, 3 and 4.
- Thursday is show and tell. Children are encouraged to bring something to show. Most outings and fun activities take place on a Thursday.
- Friday is Baker day. Moms take turns to bake a cake or fairy cakes and the child of the Mom who bakes, acts as the "Baker". We also have ‘colour’ day on a Friday when the children dress in, or have something of the colour of the week somewhere on them.
During the course of the year, we have many other fun activities at school and we also go on a few outings.
Extra mural activities are offered during school hours. The activities are an extra cost and include:
- Kindermusik (Tuesday) - All children participate in fun music lessons by a specialist Kindermusik teacher and is often the highlight of the week.
- Play-ball and Ballet (Wednesday) - Enjoyed by all who participate.
- Little Potters (Friday) - Creating with clay provides a creative outlet for your child.
