As Spring slowly begins to appear, the wattle trees remind us that although the nights are still cold and the winds may blow, Spring is on its way. These little golden lights shine out across the Blue Mountains sending hope of warmer days and bright sunshine. In Kindy we have been dyeing silk with wattle […]
There is a warm hum in Kindy as we head towards our week of Winter Celebrations. Little Winter scenes have begun to pop up in the Kindy room and we have been very busy with preparations, singing and storytelling. On Thursday we will share our Kindy Winter Play with our family and friends. Last week […]

Now that they have moved into their dream cocoon state, our stories have evolved into a small girl living in China in ancient times. Mei Mei’s family harvested, spun and shared their famous silk upon […]
Every week feels like Science Week in Kindy. We watch the changing of the seasons as the blossoms arrive and the daffodils shine in the sun. We are noticing the insects that are slowly returning to the garden; especially the compost and that the garden needs an extra drink during this dry and windy August. […]
