Support your child to get ready for preschool

next year.

Hello, Term 2 is nearly finished. The educators have been reflecting on how much the children have learned and how settled they are at preschool. They have all been working towards our school values: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Caring and Co-operative. As a part of these values and our Wiradjuri language program the educators and children developed a Welcome to Country song which we sing every morning at the start of our group time. The children sing this song so proudly which is a lovely way to all come together as a group. This term we have had a focus on developing language and literacy concepts through sharing nursery rhymes and fairy tales. The children have enjoyed extending their knowledge of fairy tales by rein acting them using props such as masks and costumes. The children recall the story and characters, then are assigned roles. The children act out the story saying the repetitive lines they practiced when we shared the book or rhyme. We have some budding actors here at Bimbi.

Thanks for a great term 2, I know term 3 will be just as busy. Tiffany

For Reconciliation Week, the Gugubarra’s enjoyed going for a walk to Kunming Reserve. After our long walk there we shared some morning tea and a big drink. We then went exploring the natural features of the reserve looking for interesting objects. The children had so many questions and were so engaged in looking closely at all the natural objects they found. Before it was time to come home we had a play on the playground equipment, which was very exciting. Thank you to Peta (Jade’s Mum) and Susan (Phoebe’s Mum) for coming along and helping.

The Gugubarra’s Excursion

Maths in Preschool

Bimbi preschool has been a part of an action

research project through the Department of

Education exploring strategies of teaching and

learning maths concepts in preschool. All the

educators at Bimbi have been a part of this

project and have developed a Numeracy

program to observe the children’s numeracy

skills and implement strategies to extend their

knowledge and understanding.
