Term2 Week7 - Saturday Session

Another quiet Saturday morning, and another Saturday Welcome Back to the Club! for today. Returning members Sandy and Marlee (16 months) spent the morning with us. Marlee had a good time checking out the various jobs in the infant area, and is pictured below using the 3-part cards for the farm animals. Sandy and Marlee enjoyed their morning and hope to continue next term! We look forward to seeing you here again soon.

Saturdays, being a shorter and quieter session, are a great way for members who haven't been around the club for some time to come along and re-experience it. If you know of someone who has attended the Introductory sessions, or have attended the community in the past, feel free to mention they are welcome to come along and check us out! At $10/family on Saturdays it is an excellent opportunity.

Today toward the end of the first hour of the session Erin (4 years) wanted to do the candle job. Dad, Paul, was hesitant, as hey "isn't that playing with fire, on more than one front?" (not his words!). The answer to whether she could do the job was yes. Our environment has been set up so that the children have the freedom to do a job, if they so desire. After Paul's demonstration and under his supervision, Erin chose to conduct some aspects of the job, whilst asking dad to perform others. Last term Erin had watched with facination as Annmarie (7) performed this job, and she loves the Earth Goes Around the Sun ceromony, thus she has had the interest and motivation to do this job in the past however it has been tempered by fear. It was awesome to observe her bravery as she held the match and blew it out.
