Next playgroup, 24 May 2011 Morning Tea

Hi everyone

Happy Birthday to our birthday girl and thank you for bringing cake to playgroup so we could celebrate your birthday together. It looked like everyone had fun; I've put some photos up from the morning on the blog.

I also wanted to thank everyone for chipping-in with clean-up when they can - I really appreciate it and it takes a load off my mind to know that we can manage more involved playgroup sessions together.

Next Playgroup

Because it is a 5-week month, the next playgroup on 24 May will be a shared morning tea with a threading craft. Please bring along a small plate of healthy food to share if you can.

Outing won't be Toddler Tuesday

Unfortunately we won't be able to do the Toddler Tuesday at GoMA this month. The reason is that they won't accept a group booking - what they want is for each caregiver to apply for a session individually (with a generous exception for those members for whom English is a second language/don't have Internet access) - and the organiser was reticent to clearly indicate to me whether we would be able to make it into that same 31 May session if we booked individually at this late date. So. What I will do is find out when the next cycle of bookings can be made, and we will all try to book as early as possible for the very last session in that 8 week cycle. With luck we will be able to book it out for ourselves.

In the meantime, if anyone has a good suggestion for this month's outing, please let me know.

Upcoming events in the neighbourhood

This Weekend? - I have heard that Junction Park Primary will be having a kind of garage sale to sell off excess from the fete. Unfortunately I can't find anything online about it, so if anyone knows the details [E- I'm looking at you :-) ] please feel free to email them out to the list.
