17.01.2022 Hello everyone, By now you have probably recieved multiple HIPPY books. As you are aware, we are moving to contactless HIPPY delivery in the coming weeks. We are working to get this up and running as soon as possible. Please call, text, Facebook message or email us with any questions in the meantime. Updates will be mostly given via this Facebook page and text messages. ... Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to learning to adapt to this new way of HIPPY, which is only temporary :) We also just wanted to let you know that if you or children are feeling overwhelemed by what is happening at the moment, there are many online and phone services you can access, such as beyond blue. I have attached a photo with a list of phone services also. On another note, share what you have been doing with the children at home! It can be HIPPY or any other activities you have been upto. In my house we have been doing a lego challenge (photo of challenge is attached for those interested). Jess
16.01.2022 Hello everyone! As of today, it has been decided that playgroup will be cancelled indefinitely. We will keep everyone informed of when that will start back up again. HIPPY materials will be delivered to your door and followed up with a phone call. This will mean you have something to do while the kids are at home and it will also mean that we can continue some things as normal as possible in these uncertain times.... Your tutor will be in contact with you regarding information about deliveries of HIPPY books, with regular contact via the phone and other electronic means. We thank you for your patience in this time and we are always happy to have a chat if you are unsure about anything. Jess is available by phone or email and will respond as quickly as possible with any questions or concerns you may have. As usual, we will be learning together and we are so happy to be able to still deliver HIPPY to you and your children during this time.
16.01.2022 The Autralian Reptile Park is live streaming feeding times and sharing educational videos you can watch with your children. Something to change up the days a bit while we are mostly keeping healthy at home.
13.01.2022 Part of settling into a school routine can be tricky. Making a healthy lunch to sustain your child's energy through the day can be made simple with tip sheets like these! Also check out the comments for a 'lunchbox builder' link. Use this with your child to educate them about healthy lunch choices and to learn new recipes!

13.01.2022 Good morning everyone! With most children staying home, it is more important than ever that we give them ways to use some energy and keep active and healthy. This link provides some great ideas as well as links to YouTube channels offering kids workouts including dance, yoga, meditation and exercise. They are all designed for kids! Join in with them for some fun :) ... Links to the YouTube channels are in the article that is attached to the Mumfo post I have shared let me know if you have any trouble! Jess
09.01.2022 Hello everyone :) We are aware of the panic that is around our community at the moment due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) and we want to reassure you that we are closely following the information and recommendations from the Department of Health and Human Services. At this point, we will still be going ahead with playgroup and visiting families but stay up to date in case this changes. If you are not happy about someone visiting, please let your tutor know and we can arrange alt...ernative delivery of your HIPPY materials. In the interest of public health, if you're unwell or have had contact with people who have recently traveled overseas, please refrain from coming to playgroup, let your tutor know you need to postpone your home visit and seek medical advice.

04.01.2022 Always was, always will be. Happy NAIDOC week to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families out there! Having a strong sense of identity and feeling connected with and contribute to the world are important in children’s development (and are key outcomes in the Early Years Learning Framework to which HIPPY is aligned). Children who feel accepted, supported and safe in who they are grow in confidence to learn and grow. ... At HIPPY, we think it’s important that all children feel connected to and informed about the many lands we live on. Understanding our history and environment is an important place to start. Do you know the traditional custodians on whose land you live on? What have you done this week to celebrate and learn about the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander custodianship of country?
04.01.2022 We have an online challenge for families these school holidays!

Over the next few weeks, we will upload featured book covers (plus some inspiration photos) and then it will be your turn. Upload your interpretation of the cover as a Facebook comment, email it through or show us on your next library visit. We will even have a few giveaways to celebrate our favourites!
