It was a funny day today .... not sure if it was going to rain or not. We set up a few outdoor play activities, mainly the sand tray, the stepping stomes and the bikes. The children had a great day, undertaking a craft activity where we made a sheep.

Lots and lots of outside play today. We had lots of fun activities set up ... there was a farm mat with lots of animals, we had the trucks and the blocks out, playdough table outside, stepping stones and so much more. It was a lovely day. We also put a tail and a mane onto a horse.

It was a little fresh outside today but we braved the cold, rugged up and headed out for a little play. We played on the bikes and the scooters and with the trucks and the blocks. Most of our play day was spent inside creating some more farm animals. The children were very excited when the plumber turned up with his really big ladder to get onto the roof to fix the hot water. We also had a surprise visit from the lovely lady from the office.

The girls were a little tired and sad this morning when they arrived as they both had a very late night. We started off the morning with a little bit of sesame street to settle the girls in. GM helped Brendaa create out new pencil holder, which she enjoyed. After morning tea we headed outside into the fresh air. We had lots of visitors today, the lady across the road came over to give us a present and Bec's sister popped in for a cup of tea.

A very busy day today. We took Mitch to school as Brendan was helping the electrician put in some ceiling fans. When we came home the children wanted to play outside with the magic paint. We painted the fence in beautiful colours. That kept us busy for most of the morning. We also pretended that the fort was a boat and the blanket was an island and the grass was the ocean full of sharks and crocodiles. A very big imagination day.
Have a great weekend

Our week in care
What a busy and exciting week we have had ....
The children were very excitied to see that the playroom had been given a rearrange whilst they were away .... the home corner is alot more user friendly, with lots more space for all children to play in there together. I am in the process of organising some more hand made felt food for them ... this is still a work in progress :)

We stayed home from Playgroup this morning as Bec wasn't feeling very well. We had a fun day at home playing in the sandpit, home corner, doctors and had a play picnic in the outside cubby house. We watched and danced to a little bit of Hi-5 before having a rest.
