Parent Evening 1st November 2010

Tonight we held our parent evening. The theme for the evening was "A day in the life" and we focused on our daily routine and what the learning is behind the children's play.
First off Gemma talked about the inside area and the activities that we usually have inside. We shared the actions for one of our favourite songs "Mrs Bunny". The parents joined in and looked like they had a fun time as well.

Gemma then took us through the non-mobile area and what we like to do on the deck. We made some 'gloop' but only one of our parents were keen to try it!

Then Amanda talked to the parents about the activities we set up outside and made a volcano for the parents. It was so cool!

We also talked about our natural projects such as our willow tunnel and cave as well as our edible garden we have planted.

Stef then spoke to the parent about the routines surrounding nappy changes and sleeping. Some feedback we received after the night ended said that the parents were really happy that we have respectful practices with nappy changes and liked how we followed the children's individual routines when it was bedtime.

To finish the evening off, Kirsty talked to the parents about mealtimes, the routines and practices we follow as well as our centre ICT. Kirsty covered how we encourage independence with handwashing and sitting at the table and a little bit about our journey with the Healthy Heart Award. Then Kirsty spoke about our blogging, emailing and skyping and the value for families, especially the family members that live overseas or in different towns.

The evening was enjoyed by all and great feedback was recieved from all who attended! We can't wait until the next parent evening, I wonder what we will do next time?
