Hurlstone park Children's centre.

Today i went to Hurlstone park Childcare Centre and i thought it was just going to be a look around the centre ask a few questions and hand in a resume. Boy was i wrong but in a good way. :) When i got there at 10:02 am i meet with the centre's manager who showed me around the centre and introduced me to some of the staff and of course the children who found me fascinating and started asking "who is that man" it was very sweet. I got to some of the kids from the 3 to 5 year olds. Lets see if i can remember some of there names. 
  •  Lucas 
  • Evie (or a name that sounds like Evie) 
  • Ben
sadly thats all the names i remember at this time :( I watched them being read to in the morning then they separated into there little groups and did there own thing some painted which i watched for a while at the same time i spoke to them. to learn what they were painting. I also sat with some children who were playing with playdough the children pretended it was cookies and cakes. They had there own toy oven to put the playdough aka cookies and cakes in.
I helped some of the Children make puzzles and find the pieces. There was Three puzzles. There was a caterpillar that turned into a butterfly puzzle and a platypus puzzle and the third i can't remember that this stage. Damn my Memory. :(      

  Im jumping around a bit. The Children were then read another story or two to calm them down a bit before they danced to a surfer song? thats whats the centre staff called it. They also danced to a bit of eye of the tiger  and the whole of Thriller which like i said earlier was very cute. They then did some stretching which i joined in with. I think the Kids were watching me then the instructor. :)

The Children then proceeded to go to lunch it was pasta and salad yummy. This is the time i said goodbye and left. On my way out i spoke to the centre manger and she suggested i do some work experience at the centre. I think its a great idea so i said i was nearly at the end of term one at tafe and almost on holidays i also said i had tafe Monday Tuesday and Friday. She suggested Wednesday. So all i have to do is call them next term to arrange a few hours on Wednesday to come to the centre. 
A job well done i think. I think God helped me abit by letting me get an interview and very nice staff at a lovely centre.
