Final Thought
If
your child is finishing with us at the end of June and embarking on their next
adventure in life, we hope that your child has enjoyed their time with us. We
would like to thank you, as parents, for your co-operation over the last number
of months. We would like to wish all of the boys and girls well on the next
chapter of their lives – big school and we will miss them all.
The Nothing Poem
When children come home
At the end of the day,
There’s a question they’re asked
As they scurry to play.
At the end of the day,
There’s a question they’re asked
As they scurry to play.
“Tell me, what did you do in
school today?”
“Nothing. I did nothing today!”
“Nothing. I did nothing today!”
Perhaps nothing means that I
played with blocks.
Tied my own shoes, or found beautiful rocks.
Maybe the monarchs hatched today.
Or maybe I found a new friend to play.
Tied my own shoes, or found beautiful rocks.
Maybe the monarchs hatched today.
Or maybe I found a new friend to play.
Maybe today was the very
first time
My scissors followed a very straight line.
Perhaps I learned a new song, and sang all the words,
Or I touched a feather from the strangest of birds.
My scissors followed a very straight line.
Perhaps I learned a new song, and sang all the words,
Or I touched a feather from the strangest of birds.
When you’re in preschool and
your heart has wings,
“Nothing” can mean some wonderful things!
