Happy Birthday Aliya. D
On Tuesday we had our second incursion for the year for the Stingrays and Turtles, Peter from Reptiles Inc had a range of reptiles to introduce to the children. The reptile program included safety instructions on what to do if you come across certain reptiles in our preschool and home environments. I’m sure many children have been busy informing their family members of what to do if they see a snake. We met Booger the green tree frog, Pancake and Cookie the turtles, Sir Lick-a-lot and Rocky the lizards, Chopper the crocodile, Dipstick the python and a special monitor lizard called Stitches.
Working Bee
Please bring your wheel burrows, rakes and shovels and join us on our Working Bee this Sunday, 3 April from 9am to 11am. The children always enjoy helping out and playing with their friends. We would love to see you there!
Project Compassion
During Lent, children are welcome to bring in donations for Project Compassion to help people living in poverty. For every $3 donated we will contribute rice to the class jar. At the end of Lent we will cook and share the rice.

Song of the week: Our Music teacher, Mrs Tomas, introduced the children to a new song this week. It has been wonderful to listen to the children signing the words as they make, create and play throughout the day. Maybe you have heard them singing at home too, below are the lyrics for you to follow along with.
I Like the Flowers
I like the flowers I like the daffodils,
I like the mountains, I like the rolling hills,
I like the fireside when the lights are low,
Boom de a da, Boom de a da,
Boom de a da, Boom de a da.
