Kindy Updates

This week we are revising the letters and sounds S, A, T. Please feel free to revise these sounds as much as possible at home too. We are concentrating on being able to hear the initial sounds in words also.

We have been extremely busy at Kindy and have started to put lots of new work up. So next time you are in, please have a look. Last week when we did the letter 'Tt' we made our own turtles, drew ten, tiny turtles and ordered numbers underneath them. We also made an octopus where we had to count out 8 tentacles and stamp 1-8 finger prints on each tentacles. We made some beautiful fish out of CD's too.

Reminders:

• Our Father's Day morning is on Friday 4th September from 9.00 - 10.00. Please write down who is able to attend our Father's Day morning on the communication board outside our classroom or email me.

• Please make sure you return Kindy Excursion Notes with money in a clearly marked envelope into the 'office' post box outside the front office. Payments and permission slips aren't due until Friday 28th August.

Donating Items for the Homeless:

In partnership with the Fremantle Football Club and the volunteer organisation Manna, Aubin Grove Primary School students and staff are seeking to help homeless and underprivileged people in Perth by providing items of comfort and need to help them get through the cold winter months still ahead.

Aubin Grove is doing this in support of a request made to the Fremantle Dockers by one of our Year One students, Kyla and her dad Danyle. Kyla and Danyle, who plays for the Dockers,  approached the Dockers to help them to help these people in need.  Fremantle FC in turn contacted us to see if we would become involved.

Aubin Grove PS has a proud history of supporting  humanitarian causes and understands that by becoming involved, our students develop an appreciation of how fortunate they are, that there are many others in the world, both near and far, who are far less fortunate than them and that they can actually help and make a difference to their lives.

No money is being requested. As you will see on the letter your child will bring home, we are seeking common everyday items that most of us would take for granted. Items will be packaged in a shoebox and distributed to the homeless by Manna.

Examples of items we are seeking include:
Soap/bodywash
Flannel/loofah
Hand towel
Shampoo/conditioner
Toothbrush/toothpaste/mouthwash
Thongs
Please see the list that we send home for further suggestions
As well as the above, there are also suggested items for children including textas, wind up crayons, glue sticks, pencil cases etc.

If you can help provide any of the items on the list, please send them in to your child’s classroom teacher by August 24.
