Dear Parents & Guardians
Just a reminder of some important upcoming dates:
Castle Grove Early Learning Centre will be closing over the holidays!
Our last day of 2015 will be Thursday, 24th December 2015.
We'll be back for the new year on Monday, 4th January 2016.
We've had a busy year full of learning, friendship and fun. So before we head off for the year, here's a reminder of what we've been doing in the last couple of months.
We wish everyone a wonderful holiday with family and friends and look forward to seeing you in the New Year.
Staff at Castle Grove ELC
The Human Body
Dental Hygiene
* Brush Your Teeth Twice A Day
* Eat HEALTHY foods, and avoid SUGARY snacks
* Visit the DENTIST regularly
These are just some ways we learned to help keep our teeth strong and healthy.
We were also lucky to have a special incursion from the dentist to teach us all about maintaining healthy and hygienic teeth!
Spring & Gardening
We let them grown in seedling trays until they sprouted enough and then transferred them into the garden beds outside. We can't wait until they're all ready for harvest.
We also did an experiment to understand the concept of water absorption and how plants use the water which they retrieve through the roots to feed the entire plant.
Parties & Celebrations from Around the World
A fun learning focus was all about birthdays, parties and celebrations from around the world! Some of the cultures celebrations we learned about included: Mexican, Indian, Chinese and German.
Our End of Year Concert.
THANK YOU to Xavier's grandma for her performance at the concert. We really enjoyed it!
We were so excited to share our prepared songs and dances with all our families and friends at the end of year concert! Thank you to everyone for coming to support it. We hope you enjoy the photos.
