Light Party 2011

Greerton Community Playgroup

Our Playgroup is Government funded and 20-30 pre-schoolers and Mums from the local community gather each Tuesday morning during the school term in the Activity centre at GBC. The parent contribution is $2 per family per week.

Morning tea.
We also have a shared morning tea and everyone enjoys chatting and meeting new friends over a cup of real coffee and cake.

Activities.
We have a large range of play activities including puzzles,painting, bikes, playdough and sandpit. We generally have a theme activity for the day and take turns to come up with the ideas! Some successful days have been colour themes, leaf prints, rock painting, Wacky Hair day and the very successful 'Snow' day, when Sanfords dropped off a truck load of chipped ice for us to play in.

Membership.
New members are always welcome. Each child attending must have a parent or caregiver stay with them, interacting in the play activities with their child, as well as socialising with others who are coping with the same ages and stages as they are experiencing at home. A government grant is received twice a year calculated on the average number of children attending, so please sign in the roll book each week. We have a committee responsible for running the group as well as going shopping for new toys and equipment!

ICONZ

ICONZ Adventure-Tuesday- fortnightly

ICONZ Adventure is a boys programme aimed at ages 8-11 (Year 3 – Year 6). We meet every second Tuesday from 6pm – 7.30pm during the school terms.

The majority of our boys are from the local community with many of them from blended/split families. Our goal is to give the boys access to activities, role models and opportunities that they may not otherwise have.

These activities will include a Rodeo camp at Lakes Ranch with other area ICONZ groups. The camp is in November and if you would like to sponsor a boy ($80) please call the church office.

Other activities have included:
• Team and individual competitions
• A giant ice cream sundae
• Safety with guns and in the bush, what to eat how to start a fire
• Learned how to spoil their Mums
• Worked on a race car
• Homework
• Food, devotions and many other activities

We are looking for some projects that we can have the boys involved in next term. If you have some garden work or other type of work that we could do on a Tuesday night please call the church office or contact us through our web site.

2011 Term Dates can obtained if you ring the church office...
