Final playgroup, Christmas Party, 6 December

Hi Everyone

My apologies for not making it to the outing last week. I got snowed-under with work for another org I volunteer for, and it just wasn't happening that morning :-)

The next playgroup is the Junction Park Playgroup's final playgroup, on Tuesday 6 December, and we'll be having a Christmas Party at the hall. There will be a treasure hunt, gifts for the kids, games, and a shared morning tea. Please feel free to bring a not-as-healthy plate of food to share.

Next playgroup - Morning Tea 22 November

Hi everyone

I hope everyone enjoyed free-painting last playgroup, I've put some pictures of the day below.

We are still looking for two volunteers, a volunteer coordinator and a contact person, to continue the playgroup for next year.

On 6 December will be the last playgroup, and we will be having a chocolate-treasure hunt followed by a mini Christmas party. Please let me know if you are planning on attending to secure a Christmas gift for your children.






Next playgroup

The next playgroup is Tuesday 22 November, and as this is a 5-Tuesday month it is a morning tea. Please bring along something healthy to share, and we'll be making Christmas wrap with stamps.

Next playgroup Tue 15 November, call for volunteers

Hi everyone

It was a great turn-out last playgroup, I trust that everyone enjoyed learning new scissor and gluing skills. Some pictures of the day are below.

Next year neither Liz nor I will be able to run the Tuesday playgroup, and so we are on the look-out for a new playgroup coordinator and contact person. There is no obligation to follow the routines that have been used so far, you can remake playgroup according to your own vision, and the new coordinator is free to make playgroup as simple or as involved as they like. I am happy to provide craft templates and remaining ready-to-go activities. If you'd like to chat about this feel free to email me or phone and we'll make a time to meet-up.

If no one steps forward before the end of the year, we will contact Playgroups Queensland to have the playgroup shut-down. An email will be sent to all members once the outcome is known.




Next playgroup

Next playgroup is Tue 15 November, and it is scheduled to be craft and play followed by a trip to Annerley Library for story time. Craft will be free-painting.
