We had a great day at Playgroup this week, lots of families came out to enjoy the beautiful start to spring. We did some Fathers Day artwork for the Children to Celebrate the day together. We enjoyed some fruit for morning tea and some yummy muffin pizza's, then the Children made the most of the sunshine riding bikes and building sand castles in the sandpit. I would like to on behalf of TSDC wish all of the dads or pops a Happy Fathers Day.

We had a great time at Playgroup this week, we went on a group trip to the Tenterfield Public Library to celebrate Book Week. We all dressed up as our favourite book characters and the wonderful staff at the Library read us stories and we sang songs and did lots of exciting craft activities.Then we returned to Playgroup for some fruit muffins and Ruby whipped up some chicken, cheese and lettuce wraps for our lunch. Then we played in the sandpit for a bit. On Behalf of TSDC Playgroup. I would like to thank the wonderful staff at the Tenterfield Public Library for having us.

We had our last playgroup of the term today with a visit from the Easter Bunny! We also did some amazing painting and made some Easter baskets and played with all the toys. Today I shared some cheap & easy jelly-jube lollies using one packet of jelly crystals, 2 tablespoons of gelatine powder and 1/2 cup of hot water. This was poured into silicone moulds and set in the fridge for an hour. If your child likes chewy things, this could be the trick! 👍

We resume playgroup on Tuesday 29th April. Happy Easter, everyone!! 🐰

We had fun at playgroup this morning making some green (and other coloured) sheep, then mixing up some chocolate-banana oat muffins, and then the mums made some 'self care' bags with ideas to try at home. Thanks to Emma from Rural Outreach & Support Service for this ongoing theme. The kids actually liked these choc-banana muffins, which are low in sugar with high fibre! The recipe is as below (we doubled it and didn't spill any oats on the ground this time):

2 1/4 cups of rolled oats (we used half oats and half self-raising flour)
2 ripe bananas
2 eggs
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons of maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (we used white choc chips)

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
Add oats to blender and blend so they are like flour
Add remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips, and blend again
Pour into a large bowl (if the blender is getting too full) and add the chocolate chips, stirring lightly
Pour batter into patty pans/ greased muffin trays
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a knife stuck in the top comes out clean
Remove from oven and cool on a rack for 5 - 10 minutes 😋
