SESSION UPDATE: Sunday 13th September 09

This week was our first session at the Greenwith Community Centre. We had three families attend and welcomed another wonderful new family.... the Kerin Family. Carley & Shaun brought along their gorgeous sons James & Mitch and had fun with the rest of the group playing with toys, riding bikes outside and taking advantage of the massive basketball court.

My sons Jacob and Aaron were so worn out by the time we got home, I haven't heard a peep out of either of them and Kristie has been quiet as well (if only we had Rainbow Land Play Time to go to every day!!). I would expect Taylor and Ben would be the same with all the activity they joined in with.

We were also fortunate to have the City of Tea Tree Gully's Neighbourhood Development Team Leader, Maggie L'Estrange, visit the group.

It was a bit of a relief to get the first session back after a four week break out the way, especially because we are now using a different building. It will probably take a bit of getting used to, but I am sure after a small amount of time, it will feel like we have been there for ages. The basketball court was a big hit today, which was lovely to see.

Take care and HAPPY RAINBOWS

Photos of the New Location for Raibow Land Play Time

I am so excited because I have been to the centre twice this week and I know everyone is going to love it. I took Jacob there today and he had the best time, even though we spent most of the time in the office playing with toys. I have posted photos of the Centre below so you can see what to expect when you arrive. Be sure to show your children the photos if you can so that they feel a little bit familiar with building when they get there.

The reason I was at the centre today was to complete a grant application to the City of Tea Tree Gully (with Lynne Ogbeide's wonderful assistance) for some resources and equipment for the social skills group. We are calling the group the Rainbowland Kid's Club. Fingers crossed we are successful with the grant because I have put down for some fabulous stuff that I know the kids will love. I will be brining a copy of the grant application and the resources and equipment I have asked for on Sunday so you can have a look if you want.

Because we have shifted venues, we no longer have our own tea and coffee supplies. I have to follow up if they still exist from when I purchased them for Sunnybrook. If you could please bring your own supply of tea, coffee and sugar and I will bring the milk for this week. I will do my best to sort out the supplies for the following week.

HAPPY RAINBOWS AND SEE YOU SUNDAY :-)
