Next playgroup, Tuesday 29 March, Museum

Hi everyone

Sorry I couldn't make it to the last playgroup. My son had a bit of a cold and so I didn't want him spreading his germs, but I trust you all enjoyed the craft activity that I set up and morning tea went smoothly.

Next Playgroup

The next playgroup will be an outing to the Queensland Museum, which will go ahead whether it rains or not. I can meet you outside the main entrance on the ground floor at 9.30 am (near where the buses are), or if you arrive late you can drop me a line on 040 385 0064 to find out where we are.

Next playgroup, Tuesday 22 March shared morning tea

Hi everyone

Thank you for your help with the craft activity and cleaning up. The children created some very nice insects and caterpillars today, and they've been put in the port-racks to dry so you can pick them up next playgroup.

Next week is Playgroups week, and there will be a festival in New Farm Park on Wednesday morning and a mini-fest in DM Henderson Park MacGregor on Thursday. Links to details can be found below.

Next playgroup

The next playgroup is Tuesday 22 March. This month has 5 Tuesdays in it, so for the next playgroup it has been suggested that we have another shared morning tea after a craft activity and play in the hall. If you can, please bring along a healthy snack to share.

Next playgroup, Tuesday 8 March

Hi everyone

Thanks for the lovely healthy food everyone brought to the morning tea last playgroup, and I trust you all enjoyed making paper cars together. I wanted to make clear that I know a lot of us are run off our feet with small children and what-not, and sometimes schedules and organising just doesn't work out how we plan it. Don't worry if you forget or can't bring something to morning tea, those of us who can at this time are happy to share, and it will all even out in the end.

Next Playgroup

The next playgroup is on Tuesday 8 March, and we'll have a small construction craft activity (paper flowers) followed by outdoor play in the school junior playground next door.
