After our nourishing winter break, the children of Birdsong Kindy came back rested and ready for busy Kindy work. As we transitioned from the cold winter months into spring, we heard the stories of Wallow Whale and his family, who made the long journey from the icy southern waters to the warm waters of Golden Bay, where Mama Whale would have her baby. Along the way he met many new friends, including Diver Dolphin, Careena Green Turtle, the Rainbow Sparkle Fish and of course, passed by Blink Wink Lighthouse. We learnt many new songs of the sea and the children’s clever hands began finger knitting the rainbow colours that will eventually be woven together to make the shell of their very own turtle.
To finish our Wallow stories, the class took the bus to visit Blink Wink, and to look out for Wallow and his friends and family. It was our lucky day, as the water was clear and we saw many whales splashing and waving their tails. The children will tell you that we saw more than 100 whales ("what’s the biggest number, Kat?") as well as Diver and Silver Seagull, and Busy Bush Turkey. We finished the day with a picnic and a play in the park. Fun was had by all.
Now, spring days have arrived! A big thank you to all the parents and staff who contributed to a wonderful Spring Fair, helping all our children to celebrate and welcome the change of season. Now in Birdsong, we sing of the birds, bees, butterflies, and rain! We hear the stories of Lady Spring’s Garden as we begin our preparation for our Spring Festival, when we look forward to celebrating with our families again.
