Greetings from Silver Birch Playgroup,

Here is the beehive, but where are all the bees?

Hiding away where nobody can see.

Watch them come buzzing, out of their hive.

One, two, three, four, five!

As we embrace the warmer days, so too do all of our garden friends.  In our circle we may encounter busy bees, incy wincy spider, lovely Mrs Garden Snail and a very quick little mouse who pops his head out if all is quiet.  Such is the delight of simple rhymes to accompany hand and finger gestures as we explore the world around us through our morning circle. 

Thanks must go to Clare over the fence at Karri Kindy who kindly gifted to our garden some narcissus bulbs recently.  With eager helping hands, holes were dug, bulbs snuggled in and well watered.  The children take much pleasure in these simple but important tasks which strengthen the connection with their environment and offer an opportunity to contribute to the care of our garden.

Next week will be our last morning for the Term and it just happens to fall on our Spring Festival day.  Hopefully it will be as sunny and springlike as it was last year so we can gather outside and make our garlands before joining in the celebration of Djilba.  I look forward to sharing this special time with you all.

Finally a big thank you to all our Playgroup families for another lovely term.  It seems to have wizzed by!  What a joy it is to spend a morning with you and your little ones...may it continue next term.

Warm Regards,

Sophia
