Its been a long winter but hopefully spring has now arrived. Our bulbs are out and hopefully we can get into our kitchen garden and start enjoying our revamped playground. Glen Park looks great in spring.

We have just finished building a new addition to our playground equipment. Our old fort was sadly too difficult to maintain, so we built a new one to replace it. We will add pieces onto it over the next few years including a shop front, climbing wall and maybe another slide.

We just wrapped up our 10 week one hour swimming lessons at the Ballarat YMCA. Our students made great progress over the course of their lessons. We were lucky to have an excellent instructor and terrific facilities. The great thing about our lessons was that the kids weren’t standing around like larger groups around us…

We completed ANZAC Day research and craft activities this year including making a medal, a trench periscope and a plastic model fighter plane.

One of the great things about being at Glen Park in the warm sunny weather is that we have plenty of space and plenty of shade and we can take our fold up chairs and picnic rugs and head outside to read, eat lunch, work on our iPads or enjoy some water play.
