Kindy Museum

In the Kindy, the children have been looking at objects from the past. The classroom created a 'Kindy Museum' with the items brought in by the students and the teacher. 

The student bring in the items as part of the newsbox and the items are left there for a period of time. The children are to observe museum rules and make sure they look but don't touch as the items are precious.
