Decorating pots and planting seedlings

Yesterday we were busy turning over the garden getting it ready to do some new planting.  Today we decorated our own pots, adding seeds in the hope that with a little love, water and sunlight we can soon transfer them to our garden to grow and flourish.  Silverbeet, cucumber, lettuce and flowers...... How tall will it grow, what colour will it be, what do we need to do for them to grow? These were all great questions.  We have put them on our windowsill to watch the process, lets see what happens!!  We added a little touch to our pots with a flower just to look over our seeds.

Getting out in the community

It was the perfect day to walk to the local supermarket. The reason? We needed to buy crackers for late snack and a tub of icecream!! We had been given a big bag of pears... and teacher Dani had prepared them for stewing (she had lots of little helpers with the peeling!)  We thought that stewed pears with icecream would  be a nice treat. Six friends and two teachers set off on an adventure. Before we left, we talked about how to keep ourselves safe. We also wondered, what would we see? What would we hear? I'm not sure what was the most exciting thing to happen during our Woolworths visit, but our children were quick to spot some chocolate Easter bunnies and that certainly caused enthusiasm! Once we arrived back at Uxbridge, we could hardly wait for our icy treat! After lunch, we did indeed, all have a small bowl of stewed pears and vanilla icecream! Some friends weren't sure about the taste or texture of the pears...but we know that sometimes it can take a child several times to try something before their taste buds adjust. What a wonderful Wednesday!

Valentines 2025

Today we had a great day full of love, and kindness at Uxbridge.  We enjoyed having a picnic lunch in the sunshine, and lots of pink and red crafting, as well as pink playdough  with heart shapes and rollers.

There was lots of reading books about celebrating kindness, as well as various red water exploration outside, decorated with flowers and pompoms.
