5pm Meet around the fire in Karri Kindy with your mug and spoon.  We will sing a blessing and have a  mug of soup around the fire.  Parents bringing soups please provide a label stating ingredients.  Please serve your child after the blessing and help them to remain seated while eating.  Could those bringing soups please clearly label with a list of ingredients, with large writing as it will be dim light.

Please make sure your child has a substantial snack before coming as only soup is provided, not a full dinner. 

5.45pm Gather to light lanterns and set out on the lantern walk in to the forest.  Children will have their own lanterns that we have made at school, please bring lantern for all others attending.

6pm Lantern walk to our gathering place in the forest.  Please walk in silence or join in with singing to experience the wonder and magic of this special candlelit forest meander.  Once we arrive we will light the bonfire and sing our songs.  Please sing along!

Part of our festival includes experiencing the sounds and darkness of the night so please help the children maintain a mood of reverence, especially when the music is playing.  If you bring a torch please save this for after we have left the forest.

6.30pm Make our way back along the lantern walk to gather belongings from Karri Kindergarten veranda and out to the carpark.  Help your child to take the magic and reverence of the evening home with them!

                 Happy Makuru/Mid Winter Solstice to all of our children and families!
