The children have been busy making wind catchers to take home. These can be used on Sunday at the Make Catrine Sparkle event if you choose to go along and join in the festivities.

Expressive arts home link
Hi everyone,
I would like to introduce myself as the Expressive Arts Champion within the Early Childhood Centre and for the next 5 weeks I will be working alongside Tammie, who works as our Homelink Champion. Together we have comprised a programme of fun activities for you and your child to engage in at home.
WEEK 1
We love a sing song and a boogie within the centre and thought we would start the week off asking the children to record and upload a video to their Learning Journal of them singing and dancing to their favourite song at home. These will be played on the large screen in the music area for the children to share with their friends. I’m going home to practice my favourite – George Ezra – to get the party started. Can you upload your amazing videos by Thursday at the latest please?
**Thinking caps at the ready for week 2 as we will be making some musical instruments, perhaps a good idea to collect some recyclable materials ready for your challenge.
Can’t wait to see your videos.
Carrie
Our Witchy Week
We continued with the Hallowe’en theme this week as the children were very keen and interested in the activities on offer and most were inspired by the popular Room on the Broom story. These activities included re-enacting the story, making potions, designing our own wands and witchy collages. Outdoors, the children explored a range of techniques to create firework pictures. They made potions in the mud kitchen. In the Ocean Room the children asked if they could make roads, use tools and Lego to build. They helped set up the playroom and selected resources of interest.
