The morning starts with a story, as a way of bringing the children together and marking the beginning of playgroup. We then have creative play inside with dolls, coloured cloths, wooden blocks, shells, woolly ropes, rocks and other natural materials. An artistic or craft activity may be offered.
A packing away song brings us together for our morning circle of seasonal songs, finger plays, movement, verses or a game, and leads us into washing hands. We all sit at the table and hold hands, light the candle, sing our verse and share morning tea. We then hold hands, say thank you for our meal and the table is cleared.
Children are now ready for outside play which we encourage in all seasons. Parents can sit with their craft work or catch up and chat. When ready to go home we form a circle and say our goodbye verse.
Playgroup is held at our beautiful building and grounds at 41 French St, Launceston.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, 9.30am to 11.30am.
Playgroup costs $155 for a 10-week term for one child and a baby under 1; or $220 for two or more children.
Please bring something for morning/afternoon tea, as well as slippers or socks for inside play and a sun hat, rainwear and gumboots for outside play
