24.01.2022 This is my most widely shared post. And rightly so, it’s an important one. These are prewriting patterns, with the average (not prescribed) age at which child...ren are developmentally ready to achieve these patterns listed below them in years and months. Being able to process visual information and produce a movement in response (e.g. copying these prewriting patterns or letter formations), is known as visual motor integration. Note that an X is not typically achieved until 4 years 11 months, and a triangle at 5 years 3 months. If a child can’t form these basic shapes...then they probably won’t be able to form letters. It is quite concerning then that there are 3 year 7 month olds starting formal schooling, where they’re expected to write. Not only are their visual motor integration skills not developed enough, their hands are also physically under-developed. In addition, recognising letters, understanding phonics and beginning to read are all needed in order for a child to write meaningfully, skills which children starting kindy typically don’t have. We also know that when a child learns something that doesn’t hold meaning, it‘s unlikely to stick. So if you have a 3-4 year old who spontaneously asks or attempts to write letters, that’s great; otherwise, there is no need to initiate or worry about this. Unfortunately there is a misconception, particularly with the way that the current curriculum stands, that earlier is better. Earlier is not always better. Very well said Perth Children's Occupational Therapy! Thank you for sharing! Source: Beery Buktenica Test of Visual Motor Integration, 6th Edition

16.01.2022 Now that’s what I call a veggie patch. Finally finished, unfortunately because of the dogs it’s not as child friendly as I’d like but we’ll make it work. Watermelon, Rockmelon, Tomatoes, Capsicum, Corn,zucchini, lettuce, cucumber, broccolini, Bok Choy, Basil, Oregano, strawberries and parsley for now, fingers crossed. It could also be called all the gear and no idea, I think I’ve got some studying to do.

10.01.2022 I thought this might appeal to some of the kids, I did think about taking them but......... It’s school holidays and the risk assessment for this would be a nightmare. But I thought I’d put it out there if any of you want to take your kids.

08.01.2022 Well said Katrina, I know I will be amongst many (in fact most) other FDC educators who will not be providing my service if the government go down this track again. If people want free childcare they must lobby the government to pay for it. But be warned it’s never going to be free, we will all be paying in higher taxes.

07.01.2022 For the next few weeks we will be learning all about sustainability after recently building and planting out a veggie patch which is going amazingly (some more learning and research required though). We now have our very own worm farm with 2000 new pets, we will have to learn how to look after them properly and what they can and cannot eat. We also have a new 160 litre double compartment compost tumbler, again we need to learn how to look after this and I found the most appropriate book on already on our book shelf. What an exciting time it’s going to be.

06.01.2022 Thank you for the nomination, who ever you are

05.01.2022 This is so true,we care and comfort before we think about the ramifications, it’s just what we do. I’m lucky to be living in a state where we are doing so well and feel for all the educators in states not doing so well, I also think there for the grace of god go I.
