21.01.2022 We are so proud of today's little land helpers who worked together to clean up our green spaces for people and animals to safely explore.. This reflects the Early Years Learning Framework Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.

This year we have chosen to support the Soul Cafe and create some hampers with the children at the centre.

17.01.2022 Our carrots were ready to be picked and the children had a great time pulling these out of the garden and were entertained by the different shapes and sizes that they were. The children helped to wash the carrots in a tub so they were ready to eat. During group time the Preschool children measured them and put them in order from biggest to smallest using the ruler to measure. This promoted numeracy skills including number recognition, counting, measuring and size (big or small).

16.01.2022 Lots of great discoveries being made today as the children experiment with science. Preschool: Experimented with sinking and floating. We discovered that heavy things sink and light things float. We were surprised by the floating apple and block because the children did think they would sink. Treasures: Explored what made the ice melt and explored what was hidden inside. They shared it felt cold, they cold see flowers and that the melted ice was the water puddle.... Cherubs: Created a fizzing potion using bicarb and vinegar. The children were very excited by the bubbles.

16.01.2022 Today is Early Childhood Educator Day. A day to say thank you for the amazing job educators do to care for and educate children. Everyday is different in early childhood and we would like to say a BIG thank you to our awesome team at BPCCC for the relationships they have with the children and families, the teachable moments and play experiences along with the fun, laughter and creativity they bring to the centre.

16.01.2022 Our National Recycling Week and NAIDOC celebrations continue this week as we engage in many experiences reflecting the history, culture and achievements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

15.01.2022 Don't forget that next week is Book Week. Children are encouraged to come dressed as their favourite book character to celebrate the importance of literacy. We are very lucky to have Jasey Stanley visit us on Thursday and share her books with us. Check her books out at https://nurturewithwords.com.au/ Signed copies of these books will be available to purchase on the day.

15.01.2022 The children had a busy day prepping vegetables for lunch and picking and tasting snow peas grown in the garden and using the vegetable scraps to feed the worms. These experiences link to the centre philosophy promoting and encouraging sustainable practices within the service When the children planted the snow peas they measured themselves on the to see how tall the snow peas would grow using this as a tool for understanding Math concepts of measurement and numbers. Maybe you could grow some beans, peas or snow peas at home and see how big they grow or do some gardening and enjoy the fresh produce from your own back yard or even encourage your children to help peel and cut the veggies.

15.01.2022 Today we used the book 'Wilfed Gordon McDonald Partridge' to think about what it might be like to get older and to live in a nursing home or retirement village (and to have less visitors during COVID 19). The preschoolers helped to write a letter to our local nursing home and we hope that when they receive it in the mail that it makes their day! We love the children's wish for make up for their faces!

15.01.2022 Today was our first opportunity for the Cherubs to try out our new 4 seater pram when we went for an excursion to the lake. A lovely time was had by all Cherubs, collecting flowers along the way, splashing in the water and throwing rocks, not to mention climbing a tree and playing with the balls.

12.01.2022 It's a wonderful day for RAIN play! Not only is it lots of fun to jump in puddles and collect rain drops, it is also a great sensory experience, allows children to be in the moment (wellbeing) and reinforces lots of literacy/numeracy concepts such as empty/full, wet/dry, hard/soft etc. Please remember to pack spare clothes for your child as our spares are running low. Thank you x

12.01.2022 We thought we would share this useful information with families about what school readiness can look like. If you have any questions regarding your child being ready to commence Kindergarten in 2021 please don't hesitate to speak to the Preschool Room educators.

11.01.2022 We ventured next door with our garbage bag and tongs for our first BIG big bush clean up session early this morning. Please send your child in enclosed shoes tomorrow if you would like them to help clean up our community.

10.01.2022 Fundraising idea Over the years we have done a https://www.pictureproducts.com.au/ fundraiser where children can create their own plate along with some other products (mug, clock, calendar, bags etc) If there is enough interest this is something that we can look at doing this year. Could be a great present for the Grandparents, a great keepsake of your child's artwork and a fun way to get your children to eat their dinner! These plates would be approx $28 each. Put a below if this is something that you would be interested in.

06.01.2022 Lots of creative CrAzY fun making these hats with some great posed 'CrAzY' faces for the photo.

05.01.2022 Look at us go! This morning friends and educators had lots of fun using our listening ears and our drumming hands to make some BIG noise with Craig from Kids on Congas :)

05.01.2022 What a wacky ending to a wacky week with wacky faces and a wacky outdoor set up!

05.01.2022 As Kinder orientation commences here is some info to help support you and your child as they get ready to start BIG school.

04.01.2022 Happy Father's Day! We hope that you all enjoy your special day!

03.01.2022 Yesterday we were lucky enough to have Jasey Stanley(Author) Nurture With Words - Children's Books visit and share her book Believe in Yourself with the Preschoolers. This book promotes children as being Smart, Strong, Brave and Kind. This along with her other book Where are you most Beautiful are available to purchase. These books are on display in the foyer. Please complete order forms and return to the centre with payment by next Friday 4 September.

02.01.2022 The Preschool Children have shown an interest in writing letters and chose to write a letter to Toronto Fire Brigade to invite them to visit our centre and share with us how to keep safe in a fire and perhaps look at the fire truck. This experience promotes literacy skills, the ability to share ideas and connect with others in the community. Do you know anyone else we could write to in our community?

01.01.2022 The Cherubs have enjoyed another great excursion to the lake today. We were lucky to have a cool day to run around and connect with nature. Because it was a windy day there were some little waves so our Cherubs were a little cautious at first but before long they got their confidence up and were very wet They loved the great open space to run free, kick the balls, find feathers and climb trees.
