What did we do at Minischool in May 2013?

May 2013

 
This months news from Kids on the Rock Educational Preschool.

May 2013


This week, the pre-schoolers began their preparations to learn about the season of Winter. We kicked this off with a Pyjama party where the teachers, Cristina and Mandy as well as all the children enjoyed Pyjama wear all day fluffy slippers included! We had a proper tea party with china tea set and warm hot chocolates and marshmallows plus some hot popcorn to enjoy while listening to stories.

Prior to this week, we enjoyed learning about marine life during our ocean studies theme week and before this we all displayed our strengths during SUPERHERO week.

Our vegetable garden is coming along faster than a speeding train. In 7-8 weeks our permaculture inspired garden is not only beautiful but functional. Our 3-4 year olds love to visit the herb spiral and have a taste most mornings. Who would guess that 3 year olds all taste and enjoy fresh coriander straight from the garden J

Thank you to Jane and Bubby at Music valley for allowing us to visit your beautiful and historical gardens as a preschool excursion. We especially enjoyed smelling the mint, fennel and roses.

We also thank Norfolk Island Central school staff for allowing us to begin our school visits for all of our 3-6 year olds as we visit the library with our newly made upholstery library bags. We liked listening and borrowing books as well as swapping our favourites among our friends. It is nice to start the school visits on such a happy note that will continue right through to school orientation towards the end of the year to our pre-schoolers moving up to BIG school in 2014.

Our scrapbooks that we started in February are bursting with all of the children's artwork and educational activities. So much so that we now need to begin a second scrapbook.

WE now have a couple of availabilities for 3 to 6 year old pre-schoolers (we will take from 2 ½ if fully toilet trained.) Holiday places for tourists and visiting families throughout the year are most welcome especially in school holidays.

We are looking for places in the community to come and visit, if you have somewhere that would be of interest to pre-schoolers of Norfolk Island please call Cristina on 55678 so we can arrange a visit.

Scrap paper and cardboard of any shape size or colour is always welcome. We are happy to collect.

Kids on the Rock preschool is on Prince Philip drive above Cockpit waterfall .

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful space to learn and grow.
