Blue Group

Welcome to Blue Group !

 
Teacher:   Joanne
 
Our totem is the turtle.

Blue Group  is the big classroom which has so much fun!

We're sure you will enjoy our play based program where you will be able to find lovely things to keep you busy and happy.

Check out our different play zones. In the construction area you will find our Lego Duplo to build with. We also have a huge selection of dress-ups and puppets in the imagination space. If you want to look at books we have a comfy lounge in the book corner. We have different sorts of animals too that are always popular. You're sure to find your fun zone here.

Outside we have a little sand pit, an obstacle course and a summer water tray. You will get to see our favourite books which I love to share at group time. Only Blue Group  gets to choose a teddy to be their movie buddy. 

We enjoy decorating a take home calico bag to show our family and friends full of our creations!  As a special treat we squeeze our own oranges to make delicious juice.

We always take time to make sure everyone feels safe, valued and happy.

I am sure you will look forward to coming to Blue Group every day because we believe learning should be FUN!
