On Saturday the 3rd of December, Ally’s held our annual Family Christmas Party at the Liechhardt Park.

Families and Staff got the chance to talk and mingle outside of Kindy opening hours on a casual level.

There was a sausage sizzle on offer, candy canes and nice refreshing watermelon.

Children were delighted when Santa came to visit and gave attending children a present each!

Although it was a hot day, we hope everyone had a really good time and by the smiles on all of the children’s faces we believe everyone had fun!

On the 14th of September Ally’s Kindy held our annual Country Day. This day is held to appreciate all things country and western, with children and staff dressing up to the occasion and having a fun filled themed day!

Children enjoyed a day full of fun activities including “gold panning” and “milking the cow”. Children experienced making damper and enjoyed their delicious efforts for afternoon tea.

Our hearts have been saddened by the current drought that has affected our farmers and for this Country Day, our Ally’s community rallied together to raise funds for this cause.

A massive thank you to all of our families who participated and raised money for our Country Day; Fiver for a Farmer.

We raised a massive $2,300.00 with the proceeds going to Drought Angels and Rural Aid.

Special mention to our local businesses who kindly donated produce and merchandise for our raffle.

Friday the 3rd of August Ally’s Kindy participated in Jeans for Genes Day, raising funds and awareness for research into birth defects and Genetic Diseases. This is a cause close to many of our Educators hearts.

The event started off with 3 of our Educators; Miss Fleur, Monica and Kylie completing the ‘Hands Free Jeans Challenge’. This challenge is all about putting a pair of jeans on without using your hands. All of our Educators did really well in attempting to get the jeans on without their hands and put on a great show.

Later on the children all had a chance at trying to put the Educators jeans on without their hands and with a little help from our Educators successfully did so! Well done to everyone who gave this challenge a go!

We drew our raffle and announced winners for 2018.

After the event finished, the children got to participate in various outdoor games and play.

Thank you to everyone who donated money and brought raffle tickets. We are very proud to announce that we have raised over $300.00 to this worthy cause.

On Friday the 29th of June, Ally’s Kindy participated in Red Nose Day Little Rockers Disco to raise awareness and funds for research into SIDS and infant disease and deaths.

The children had a ball at our disco! Each child had their nose painted red, danced and participated in party games such red nose and spoon race!

Best of all we raised $40.00 towards research into Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and infant diseases/deaths. Thank you to all of our families who made this happen!

On Friday the 8th of June 2018, Ally’s hosted Pirate Day Friday to fund raise money for vital research into Childhood Cancer.

Children proudly came dressed up as pirates and enjoyed various themed day activities. The day was a lot of fun for the children and educators alike, getting into their rascally characters.

Allys Kindy is proud to announce that we have raised $50.00 towards Childhood Cancer Research.

A big thank you to all families who participated and donated to such a worthy cause!

This year the Kindergarten Room participated in the Ipswich show’s Creative Banner Competition for 2018.

The children painted a banner for this competition in their free play time in the room and the children were very proud of the outcome!

Their beautiful banner was submitted into the competition and we were ecstatic to be informed that the children had won 2nd place!

Well done to all the children in our Kindergarten Room!
