It's hard to believe Christmas is nearly upon us and we are getting ready to wind up for the year!
We have been really enjoying the lovely weather and getting out and about. We've had two visits to the Warrington School Swimming Pool recently and really enjoyed catching up with our old Playcentre friends during their Playtime.
We have just learned that we are to receive $1500 from a COGS lottery grant to go towards power/gas/water. Fantastic!
We are continuing planning our 'Wild Things' area. Things are moving along with a load of dirt being donated and distributed (many thanks to all for their muscle power especially Tim for giving up his Saturday morning to play mud-pies!). Some grasses and plants have also started to arrive (thank you Gilbert, Lyne, Neville and Coleen). It's exciting to see things starting to take shape but please remember us when clearing out your garden, we are still after a variety of trees, shrubs, plants, rocks, logs etc. Call Lisa if you can help (482 2511).
Coming up … we will be travelling to the Otago Museum to take part in a Japanese Culture Expo. We can't wait to learn more about Japan as Miwa and Ayano have been teaching us little pieces throughout the year. Arigato!
Our Christmas party this year will be on board the Seasider train! We are all looking forward to making our way from Warrington to Palmerston for lunch, and then returning. It will be such an adventure, as we often run out to wave at the passing trains when we are at Playcentre, to see if we can get them to 'toot!'
Thank you to everyone who has been involved with us this year, your support and enthusiasm has inspired and enriched our children in so many ways.
If you are interested in joining us next year we are open Wednesdays and Fridays 9:15am to 12:15pm, phone the Playcentre 027 227 7329 or Mary-Jane 482 1962.
We wish you all a very merry Christmas and safe and happy holidays. See you in 2011!
