* On these weeks there will be a short time set aside for children, who would like to, to share with the group anything they would like to about what they have been doing or learning at home. For example: your child might like to recite a poem, read a story he/she has written, play an instrument, show an artwork or photo or workbook page. (This is NOT an opportunity to show and tell toys!) It was suggested as an opportunity for our children to encourage and share with each other their journeys as learners, and practise ‘being in front of an audience’ as well as being part of a respectful audience. This will hopefully be informal-ish and fun in atmosphere … and not compulsory, of course!
** Latch-hook rugs: Hopefully we’ll finish these off this term – encourage your child to bring theirs along each week so we can see how they are all going. We’ll also need to replenish our wool stocks from time to time so bring that along too for cutting to size!
Google latch hook rug for more info. Brief idea: http://www.wikihow.com/Hook-a-Rug
In the event of rain or gloomy weather please bring along a board game, card game or similar activity to share. (Wear thick socks for the cold floor inside!)
Please let me know if there is an activity you could help out with by bringing along and sharing some resources, or being responsible for organising.
Please don’t bring along your children’s toys.
Please bring a piece of fruit per child to be cut up and shared for morning tea. We will also have plain sweet biscuits available- eg Arrowroots.
Please BYO mug and we will provide tea and coffee, milk and sugar.
We need to clean up after ourselves! This will involve: wiping tables, benches, sweeping floor, cleaning toilet and sink. Please look out for opportunities to help!
The Painting and Craft Activities will obviously need supervision, and we will need a couple of parents to help with that each week please.
If you will worry about your child getting paint (washable according to bottle!) on their clothes please bring a smock.
Please remember that each parent is responsible for supervising her own child/ren and ensuring that Riv Kids is a friendly and safe place for everyone.
