PLAYGROUP
St Tom's Playgroups aim to create a
friendly, inclusive, supportive and fun community space
with free play, craft & activities, stories, singing and dancing and morning tea.
Morning Structure
10 am
Arrive & check in and pay. You can either pay $8 weekly for your family or there is a term fee of $50. Cash or Card is available.
Free play and craft till 10:45 am - please have a cuppa, nibbles and chat with other parents and volunteers but also keep an eye on your children.
10:45 - 11:15 am
Songs, stories and morning tea.
We will either put morning tea on outside if it's lovely weather (bring a hat and sunscreen!) or inside. We would like the children to be sitting at the table on their chair to eat. It's super cute how they chat and interact with their friends while they eat!
11:30 am
We tidy up. There will be an activity outside so some cleaning inside can happen.
Please return toys to their designated areas.
11:45 am - 12 pm
We gather together as a big group and this is a great time for the kids to share their news. Please come and sit with your child and encourage them to listen to their friends. We then sing our goodbye song.
Volunteers and Parents
Our volunteers are here to build relationships with parents/carers and their children, set up and run activities, help with morning tea, craft and music and support the supervision of children.
Parents/Carers are to closely supervise their children and play with them. We kindly ask that all parents:
-
Encourage your children to positively interact with other children and participate in the activities we offer.
-
Help keep the flow of the day going and support the routines that are in place for the group.
-
Encourage your children to look after the toys, taking care not to break things
-
Help your children with washing their hands before Morning Tea
-
Help tidy up at the end of playgroup!
