CRC Assistants Cheryl-Anne Walker CRC Trainee Nyree Anderson Thanks to Tammy and Hunter who helped get a garden bed ready for the Playgroup visit soon. And were heading home to prepare dinner with their VEGGIE PATCH produce! 9 19th August A fun morning with some beautiful singing especially from the parents and grandparents. Cheryl-Anne read the book “Joey Counts to Ten” written by Sally Morgan and Ambelin Kwaymullina. A story of Joey and his mother counting different Australian animals as they go about their day. Keeping with the number theme we then played a game where each child did a lucky dip for an action card and then found a hidden bottle top with a number on. The child then had to do the action the number of times the bottle top was showing. Such as jump up and down five times, clap your hands three times etc. Lots of giggles were had by all! 2nd September The book for last week’s Storytime was “The big fish’” by Pamela Allen. The children were quite clever this week and sang ‘Open, shut them’ very, very fast. This song is requested by the children every week. It is great to see the children having an input on what they enjoy at Storytime. Even Archie’s Grandad & Nanna were spotted having a Great Time! The activity to go with the book this time was a fishing game that Lil’ Tigers generously let us borrow for the morning! This involved the children attempting to catch 3D fish with their fishing rods which both had magnets on them. A lot of fun was had by all! NEXT STORYTIME IS ON FRIDAY 16 SEPTEMBER In the Library at the Dowerin Community Resource Centre at 9:30 am 10 Bendigo Bank in our Community It was a pleasure last Wednesday morning as a representative of Bendigo Bank, to be involved in presenting awards at the Dowerin District High School assembly and be invited to the opening of the new Home Economics room. I started the morning off by greeting the dedicated savers for school banking which is every Wednesday morning during the school terms from 8.30-9 am on the primary school verandah. It is a joy to be able to greet and interact with the children each week. Every year we have the tough decision of deciding who receives the “Most Consistent Saver Award”. This was the award Jenni Barlow (Goomalling Bendigo Branch Manager) and myself presented at the assembly which was given to joint winners - Talia & Linkon Brown. Well done to you both. These two have not missed a beat when it comes to deposit- ing their money every Wednesday. It is a delight to see such healthy future habits devel- oping. Also well done to everyone else who banks their money. Just remember….every little bit counts! Directly after the assembly was the grand opening of the Home Economics room. I had never experienced the old deteriorating Home Economics room, however I did get to witness a photo of the ‘before’ shot which allowed me to really see what an amazing result the ‘after’ job is! Jenni and myself enjoyed delicious morning tea while checking out the clever class that were cooking. It was great to have a chat with all the children to find out what delicious goodies they were preparing with the lovely produce from their own Veggie garden. I look forward to hearing what other great future plans are ahead of us for the school. A credit to all involved!
