school 09 085 (Small).jpg

The Playgroup parents and children enjoyed a story-time and play session on Wednesday morning. The session was run by Haw Shin Wai, a Speech Therapist from Therapy Focus, and was based around connecting words and meaning through the use of Nursery Rhymes. The children had fun singing Incy Wincy Spider and other songs and making glittery spiders.

The parents received some helpful ideas from Shinn about how to further develop their child's language abilities. A great time was had by all.

The boys slept in the classroom while the girls pretended to be asleep in the library. Early on Saturday morning, we went for a bushwalk around Orange Grove and returned just in time for a delicious pancake breakfast. Yum!

Thanks to the many helpers who made this special evening possible.
