Thanks to the “Pick of the Crop” initiative, we have had two successful Try It Days this term!

🍍 Tropical Fruit Edition — featuring pineapple, watermelon, dragon fruit and passionfruit.

🧑🏼‍🌾 Garden Edition — featuring fresh produce grown in our very own Willows garden, including tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, beans and sugar snap peas.

Try It Days are all about encouraging students to try something they may not usually eat and promoting healthy eating habits. It has been so wonderful to see our students trying and enjoying a variety of fruits and vegetables! 🍓🍉🥒🥕

Keep an eye out for more Try It Days in Term 4!

🌟 The Willows Warriors Pre-Prep Transition Program 🌟

Today at Warriors, it was all about our wonderful dads! 👨💙

We had so much fun creating special surprises for our dads, including hand puppets 🖐️, colourful dotted pictures 🔴🔵⚪️, a fishing poem 🎣 and our special ‘two hands’ craft showing just how much we love our dads! 🫶 There were plenty of other creative activities to enjoy too! 🎨✨

Our story today was My Dad, which celebrates all the special things dads do. From carrying their little boys on their shoulders, helping them brush their teeth 🪥 and giving the biggest, warmest hugs 🫂, to dancing together 👣💃, visiting the park 🛝🌳 and building sandcastles 🏖️ — most importantly, dads are always there to love and care for their children. ❤️

We finished by thinking about an important question: Why do you love your dad? ❤️

Wishing all of our wonderful dads, grandads and special father figures a very Happy Father’s Day! 🥳💙

We hope you feel very loved and appreciated this Father’s Day! 🌟
