February Newsletter

February Newsletter 2011

Welcome back to Term one to all of our children parents and teachers, of course some of you have been back during the January sessions as well and these have been a great success from all accounts. We have a special welcome for our new children and their families: 
Jaimee Keates, Genevieve Browne, Kalani Murray, Iskandar Shahriman and James Ensor who have all begun sessions in our Under 2 area and to Shiah Fenning and Jackson Edwards (who is Jennie Leahs’ grandson) who has started in our Over 2 area.  We also welcome Noah, Nealah, Arahia, Zane and Freya to this area also.

There have been some staff changes since last year due to government cuts to funding and restructuring. This year we have Jennie Leah in the Under 2 area and Jenny Crompton, Carmel and Vicki in the Over 2 area with Rae coming in for non contact release. We farewelled Adrienne at the end of last year,  Bree has left the centre and Rachel has a heavy study timetable so she is available only for relieving,  we wish her good luck for this year, Selena is still working Monday and Thursday in the office.
We are looking at 5+ A day over the next few weeks, please support us by packing lots of fruit/ veges and healthy food in children’s lunch boxes and only water in drink bottles. We are planning to bake with the children if you have any great healthy recipes that your children enjoy, please share them with us.
