July 1

With the school gardens growing lush and green due to nurturing weather, kids have taken to making mini moss gardens and fairy gardens. Using moss, leaves, sticks and any available resources, they have created small landscapes and terrarium-like gardens.

Green Gardens
There has been a lot of focus on gardens and growth lately. We have revisited some seedlings that were planted weeks ago. The coriander is big enough to pick now and has been a lovely addition to a few meals for staff! When we planted the seedlings there was some left in pots and you can see how differently they have grown. In the group we discussed what things plants need to grow. Like soil, water and sun. We had lots of great questions about why the colour and size is different and some great speculation about why they didn’t grow the same.

Warm Clothing
Please remember to remind your children to bring appropriate warm jumpers and jackets while the weather is chilly. We often spend time outside in the evenings but cannot allow children to be outside in the cold in just a t-shirt. For those children that bring a change of clothing for after school, please ensure what they are packing is weather appropriate (this includes footwear).

Lost Property
Recently we have moved all of our lost property to the SAC. If you are looking for anything that wasn’t brought home try the bag hooks but otherwise have a rummage through the SAC collection.

Banana Muffins
This week we made gluten and gluten-free banana muffins. Some had cinnamon sugar on top others had chocolate frosting. The girls got to measure and work with metric measuring units and discussed how a cup measurement isn’t the same as any tumbler you might use at home.

Bloom Town
We would like to take the opportunity to introduce Bloom Town flowers by Camilla. We are supporting Camilla as she was a former student of Eden Hills Primary and her children now attend. Her store is located in the Foodland complex on Main Rd Blackwood. They can offer a single bloom, a luxuriously wrapped bouquet, a gourmet gift hamper, or a large scale arrangement. So, please take the time to check out her beautiful shop!

Movie Review- Finding Dory
“Finding Dory” is an animated film which was a sequel to “Finding Nemo”. Although it took Disney 13 years to make another movie for the series, “Finding Dory” is placed only 1 year after the story of “Finding Nemo”. Dory is played by Ellen DeGeneres who was there for the first movie and has since returned as Dory once again. “Muppets Most Wanted” star Ty Burrell is joining the crew as a whale. This movie is for all ages. This film is very funny and will make children, teenagers and adults laugh.
Rating: 88/100
