Grandparents Day

We celebrated Grandparents Day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning this week. All three groups delighted their appreciative audience with their songs and dances sang so confidently. Our special visitors were invited to join in some craft activities together with their grandchild. We made clay pots, decorated bookmarks and threaded bead bracelets. Even though the room was full, it was quiet too, with the sweet sounds of lovely conversations and the business of sharing, enjoyment and learning.

We all enjoyed a delicious morning tea together on the deck.

The feedback received from grandparents was very positive and the smiles on their faces during this time was evident of a very special and beautiful time shared together.

Many thanks to all our parent helpers – Karen Drutman, Cara Frank, Niva Burke, Ali Benzaquen, Naomi Benko and Sharon Miller for their help setting up on the day, as well as the canteen for their delicious catering. Thank you to the maintenance team for their help with chairs and tables.

We appreciate and value the special relationship we have with the grandparents at Kornmehl and feel privileged that they can be involved in the daily lives of their grandchildren as well as attend our special Grandparents day events. Such a significant and memorable time of being together indeed!

This year we did a live stream of the concerts to all our overseas grandparents, enabling them to stay connected and be a part of their grandchildren’s lives from far away. Many thanks to Ben Marshall for setting up this live stream.

Kornmehl Karnival

On Sunday, 150 Kornmehl children and parents will gather in the MPH and on the basketball court for an afternoon of fun, games, physical challenges, and carnival atmosphere for our exciting annual social event of the year – The Kornmehl Karnival. The event will take place from 3.00 pm. Please bring lots of energy, water and your smiles.

Burger Centre

The Dolphins and Starfish will visit the Burger Centre on Tuesday 27 August 2019 and Thursday 29 August 2019 respectively. We are looking forward to singing and dancing for all the elderly visitors. This opportunity is a way for us to brighten the day of other elderly people in our local community and bring some joy into their day.
