Hi Everyone,

Lets make our Tues session a celebration of all things Australian!

We will sing some Aussie songs, have an Aussie craft activitiy and a perhaps a small paddle pool ( if its sunny!)

So wear your most Australian outfit/dress ups and we look forward to seeing you all on Tues.

Please note: We will not be running a Thurs session this week ( 26th Jan 2012) as it falls on the Australia day Public Holiday….. and there are already loads of great activities for families that day!

Happy New Year everyone!

Unfortunately, due to circumstance beyond out control, there will be no Playgroup Sessions this week on either Tues Jan 10th and Thurs Jan 12th 2012 . A few of us will be meeting in the park behind Newtown public School. Please join us, if you still feel like an outing!

We have posted a sign on the gates, updated our Facebook Group and emailed everyone in our mailing list. Hopefully we have reached everyone and wont have any dissapointed toddlers!

We are hoping to re-open next Tues 17th however please check back for updates to confirm.

On a positive note our community grant for the new toy shed was approved! We should have our new toy shed soon. Details of a toy cleaning bee and our next member meeting to follow shortly.

Warm wishes,

Sarah Weerappah ( On behalf of the Playgroup Committee).

Any questions please give me a call 0405 309 944

As a result, we have re-scheduled out Earthbeats druming sessions until next school holidays
