Lake Okareka Preschool - December 2017

​The children have been experiencing maintaining the community garden with the carpet we have had donated by the Curran family. This will certainly keep our hard work of weeding down over the coming months. We are close to achieving our Heart Foundation healthy eating Gold award.

We celebrated Davina’s ten years teaching at Preschool. We held a special morning tea to celebrate. We now have a teaching team who have been teaching together for ten years.

The children have been baking a Christmas cake with Pam Bowyer, the children enjoyed being involved in contributing to our special celebration cake. We will share the cake with everyone after the Nativity Play on Friday 1st December.

Salvation Army food items collection
Our families donated non-perishable food items for this very special cause. The children then presented these to the representative from the Salvation Army who came in after the Nativity play.

Santa’s Visit to Preschool
Santa will visit on Wednesday 6th December and the children will each receive a gift from him and as we celebrate the joy of giving will also have a little something for him and Mrs Claus.

Nativity play – Friday 1st December
This play involved all the children and was a play about the story of Christmas. The play was followed by a picnic dinner at Preschool. The Salvation Army band came along to sing the Christmas carols. Santa of course made an appearance around 7pm for a lolly scramble to give lollies to the children, much to the children’s delight. Thank you to Santa and his support from the Lake Okareka Rural Fire Crew.
