Easter Excitement

We had a wonderful lead up to the Easter Hat Parade and a special visit from the white whiskered wabbit. So many smiles!! ... and how does that bunny dust get in so many places?? Rascally Rabbit!












 

 
But now for a well earned break ... at least Mrs Ward thinks so!! I'm hoping to paint a little, laugh a lot and torch some beads for a change!!
Happy Easter every bunny! Hope you are spoilt with deliciousness!

Addition Dice

I found these great little salt and pepper shakers in the $2 Shop.
 
 
I'm going to put two dice in them, one in each side and
use them as an addition tool.
I've drawn up a quick little worksheet.
 
 
Put the values of the dice in each flower box then add
the two and put the answer in the box.
Children can shake 'til their hearts' are content and they
will never get lost!!

An Easter Gift for our Year 7 Buddies

Each new year at Kalkie, we link up a Preppie with a Year 7 Buddy. We love our buddies and they help us so much throughout the year. We are going to make them a special Easter Gift. We'll have small cellophane bags, marshmallows and the stencil I have made to TOP the goodies bag. We'll make them in group activity time.
We hope they like them!!

1. It's been a long week for my family since being notified of my Father-in-law's Stroke last Saturday.

Get well soon, Grandad!
 
 
2. I've been busy making Easter Goodies for my store and blog. See my post below for a FREEBIE!

 4. Spied these two cheeky rats having fun and dancing whilst my back was turned!!
"Dance like no-one is watching"
