24.01.2022 Dear bright sparks families and friends Just advising that our phone and internet is down. You can still contact us on 0481972634. We hope to have this issue sorted as soon as possible.

23.01.2022 The children were interested making lemongrass tea and having a tea party. We collected ingredients from our own garden. They tried different combinations to make their tea. Some tried lemongrass, mint, rosemary and honey. M- I like this tea P-I like the honey. I can put it on my spoon M- the mint is yummy... A- "Lemon grass is the best tea" AV- "Yuck but I like the honey" See more

17.01.2022 Just a friendly reminder that we will be doing excursions to Iscream over the next 2 weeks for Jacaranda ice creams. Please return your note, located in your pigeon hole and $3.00 for ice cream as soon as possible Thank you.

11.01.2022 Bright Sparks will be taking part in vegie month. Monday 22nd February to Friday 19th March 202.

10.01.2022 The children have been enjoying the sensory experience of playdough. Playdough helps develop children's fine motor skills which they will need later for holding pencils, cutting with scissors. It helps develop social skills "You have more than me!" children negotiate fairness and sharing during the experience as more children join in the fun. They explored a variety of concepts through their experience with the playdough. Eve and Evelyn explored patterns. "Look what the shell does". Some children explored the patter imprints that natural loose parts objects made in the playdough. Others used it as agent to hold materials together to build their creations.

09.01.2022 We wish all our families a bright and happy Christmas and you enjoy this special time with your children.

09.01.2022 The children have been exploring ramps. We challenged ourselves and each other to see who could get their car to go down the ramp and up the other side. The children worked closely with each other, testing out their ideas and making adjustments to the ramp. This provided numerous opportunities for problem solving, mathematical thinking, collaborating with each other by sharing ideas and thoughts. We then explored other materials that could go down the ramp such as round bloc...ks. Here are some of the comments from the children during the experience. T- We need to make it higher. A - It’s not getting enough traction. The wheels are slipping on the ramp. J- We need a bigger car. Its not heavy enough. M- we need sides on the ramp to stop the car from falling off. See more

09.01.2022 This week has been a very busy week for excursions. We have been out in the community. We were able to go for a drive on the Bright Sparks Bus to go and see the Jacaranda trees, and to visit John’s Farm. We were able to feed the cows and see the calves. Look at all the trees A said I live down this street Z said My brother goes to that school M said "Why doesn't the bull have horns?" M said ... We have been getting into the Jacaranda spirit by walking down to get ice cream from the Iscream Shop. The ice cream Excursion will continue through until next week. Excursions provide valuable opportunities to develop children's curiosity about their community. It allows Educators to plan for experiences that interest the children. Most importantly the children have fun!

07.01.2022 Jacaranda Week 2020 Due to the cancellation of the 2020Jacaranda Festival, Bright Sparks is hoping to capture some of the spirit and fun through a week of Jacaranda inspired activities. The children will be able to participate in crown making, face painting, hair spraying, jumping castles, a talent show and much more. If you have any concerns about your child participating in any activity please let an educator know. We will also be taking a trip to Iscream for a Jacaranda ice cream, permission notes will be in your pigeon hole. Happy Jacaranda.
