Millaroo Kindy News

The Millaroo State School Kindy has had a very busy Term 3.

In science, they explored sound: how it is created and how it can be changed, even creating some of their very own musical instruments.

Also in science, the class explored light, the source of light and how when light rays are disturbed, shadows are created.

The class learnt about letters and sounds in literacy, while in Maths, students focused on becoming familiar with identifying numerals.

At the start of the term, the Kindy children were learning about farming, designing and created their own farm in the dramatic play area.

Lately, students have been travelling on the train, the Millaroo Express, both to town, events and back to the Millaroo Croc Catching Train station, learning about safety protocols of staying behind the yellow line until the train comes to a complete stop and the door opens.

On September 5, the Kindy children got dressed up in their favourite book character and participated in a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party as part of our Book Week celebrations.

But the most exciting activity for the Kindy children was the planning of a picnic for the older children of the school.

They designed invitations, independently writing names on the envelopes and handing them out to everyone.

The Kindy children also organised the food, where they prepared and cooked some of it, and organising the party games.

The picnic was held on Thursday, September 14, a perfect way to finish off the term.

It’s been a term of trains, farms, and morning teas at Millaroo Kindy. Photos supplied
