23.01.2022 The children at Precious Cargo Marion have been enjoying mastering their gross motor skills with our new outdoor resources and obstacle course! They have been jumping, running, balancing and carefully stepping through, over and on the stepping stones, climbing ladder and hurdles. Gross motor skills are an important part of children’s development and physical wellbeing. These activities also encourage children to use their resilience and persistence to try new challenges.

23.01.2022 The Myrtle Bank ELC and Kindy children are fortunate to visit the residents at Carinya Nursing Home on alternate weeks and share a variety of planned activities such as music, dancing, art and storytelling.

Last week the ELC children made collage pictures with the residents based on ‘where we live; where we belong’.

06.01.2022 Farmer Darcy’s Traveling farm recently visited our Collinswood centre as the Pre Kindy children have been learning about animals. The children enjoyed engaging with the animals by holding, patting, brushing, feeding and cuddling them. They showed a strong interest in learning about how each animal should be cared for and what they like to eat and drink, especially the 7 day old little piglet that the children showed so much love and care for.
