25.01.2022 Over the last week the children have been learning all about 'healthy eating'. To extend on this topic of learning they have been doing arts and crafts about what food items are considered healthy, cooking classes including hummus. In group time they have also discussed store bought foods compared to raw foods!

25.01.2022 To celebrate grandparents Day, our children made very special handprint and heart ornaments to show their grandparents how much they love them. Grandparents are so special! #grandparents #grandparentsarethebest #GrandparentsDay2020 #ilovemygrandparents

25.01.2022 Happy Early Childhood Educator's Day to all of our amazing team. It takes a big heart to help shape little minds! Thank you for your passion, hard work, dedication and creativity. You are all truly the superheroes of our centre! This morning we celebrated each one of our team as the children presented everyone with gifts which was a personalised drink bottle, chocolates and a card with beautiful words from all of our families. A big thank you again! We love you all!

25.01.2022 Happy Father's Day!! We wish all the Dad's, Grandfathers, single parents and those who we look up to as Dads a very special day! You all do an amazing job and you are our real like super heroes!

24.01.2022 As part of our learning about the jungle, the children participated in an outdoor physical activity. The children had to walk through the obstacle course that resembled the jungle. They firstly had to slide down the slide and land in leaves, walk through the vines and attempt not to touch them, walk along the bridge, balance along the balance beam and lastly jump into a bucket of mud! The children engaged their gross motor skills as they were seen climbing, running, walking, leaping, balancing, crawling and jumping. The children loved this activity and we will continue to use it during free play outside.

23.01.2022 The Kangaroo and Joeys joined together to celebrate the Queens birthday, by sharing some delicious scones, sandwiches and bread and butter pudding. The children enjoyed being together as they made meaningful conversations.

21.01.2022 On Monday we celebrated Crazy Hair Day! The children enjoyed getting their hair done in all sorts of crazy styles. Firstly we watched a short video about why we were doing it, which was to raise money for Cystic fibrosis. Our amazing families donated a gold coin donation for this great cause.

20.01.2022 Yesterday we celebrated Holi, the Hindu festival of colours, giving and love. In Nepal, people put coloured powder on their friends' faces and give them big hug and say Happy Holi to represent love and forgiveness. The children were so excited to celebrate Holi. They put colour on each others faces and on educator's faces and gave them a big hug with big smiles. The celebration of the Holi festival exposed the children to a different culture and allowed them to show respect and interest by participating happily in all the fun!

20.01.2022 To celebrate the beautiful friendships our children have formed, the children made heart bracelets for their friends, gave flowers to their friends and shared kind words about their friends. We love watching these beautiful friendships flourish!

19.01.2022 Worms & Sustainability Following on from our recent interest in bugs, we learnt all about worms outside by exploring the compost. The children enjoyed holding worms in their hands and observing them. Before going outside, the children also created and decorated their own worms with paper and eyes. The Kangaroos really enjoyed having group time outside as it really allowed them to apply their learning through a ... hands-on experience. A few days later, the children fed the worms scraps from morning tea! By exploring the garden and their environment, the children become more connected with their world and surroundings, thus developing a strong sense of well being. Furthermore, their hands on experience allowed them to be more vocal during group time, further building their confidence! Plus - a great sustainability project!

19.01.2022 BUGS BUGS BUGS..Lately we have been learning about bugs. We have extended on the children's interest in insects and bugs over the week. They have done lots of fun activities such as looking for insects in the garden, painting lady bugs, learning about the caterpillar's life cycle and inspecting lots of different types of bugs with magnifying glasses. It seems that bugs are a real hit!

19.01.2022 Don't forget that this weekend is the Queen's Birthday long weekend. We will be closed on Monday. We hope you all have a wonderful and safe holiday! See you on Tuesday.

19.01.2022 To celebrate science week, the children became scientists! Investigating, experimenting and having fun, our little scientists were in awe of their amazing discoveries.

18.01.2022 Excursion time!! Over the last week, we have been exploring restaurants and cafes, and each child in the Kangaroos room visited the Favoloso Cafe. Before we ordered, we asked the Kangaroos, "what do we do when we go to a cafe?" "we use manners", "we walk nicely and don't run "we say please and thank you" they answered. When the waiter brought us our food and drinks, the Kangaroos said a big thank you and enjoyed their banana bread and babycinos. ... By exploring the topic of restaurants and cafes in a hands-on manner, the children broaden their understanding of the world in which they live, thus they become connected with and contribute to their world. Additionally, when walking to the cafe, the children demonstrated spatial awareness and oriented themselves, and they moved around and through their environment confidently and safely. By doing this, the children develop a strong sense of well being. We would also like to say a big thank you to Marianela for coming along and helping us on the excursion and buying us all delicious banana bread and also Thomas's mother Miss Liz. Thank you Marianela and Liz!

17.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day!! We hope all our Dads love their pancake mix! This year we celebrated Fathers day a bit differently. Since we couldn't host a father's Day breakfast, our dads joined us for lunch in a different kind of way ... We also sent home a choc chip pancake mix for families to make dad on their special day.

17.01.2022 Book Week Fun!! The children are loving Book Week, so many wonderful costumes and books! #curiouscreatureswildminds

17.01.2022 Science Week! Last week we celebrated Science Week with so many fun experiments and activities including the 'mad scientist' incursion. The children took part in lots of experiments including 'dancing sultanas', rocket ship building, colour mixing and float and sink. It was a great way to extend on learning about colours and shapes!

16.01.2022 Last week we celebrated Book Week with Bronte Public School and joined in on their parade. The Kangaroos had lots of fun visiting the school and showing off their amazing costumes. Thank you very much to the parents that came along and helped us! The Kangaroos all responded really well to the primary school environment and were all enthusiastic when showing off their outfits. The children's sense of identity grows stronger as they were open to new challenges and discoveries. They also develop a strong sense of identity as they approached a new situation with confidence.

15.01.2022 The Kangaroo children went on an excursion to the park to have fun completing an obstacle course and to look for bugs. They discussed what might live in the park. We had some great answers, Tobias said "flowers", William said "dogs" and Teo said, "worms". The children practised their gross motor skills on the obstacle course and had a fun time doing it! After the obstacle course, we went looking for bugs using a minibeast hunt checklist. The Kangaroos ticked off the bugs as ...they were found. Teo said, "I saw a spider." Adam said, "I found a lime tree." Sophia N said, "I saw some ants." and Teddy said, "I saw a cockroach." The Kangaroos expressed great wonder and interest in their environment. By being involved and interactive with their environment, the children gain a sense of respect for their environment. A huge thank you to George's mum, Kate, Noah's nan, Liz and Ella and Perry's nan, Dianne for being such a great help on the excursion!

07.01.2022 Today was our exciting 'Under the Sea' incursion. Lots of sea animals were brought in for the children to look at and touch. The children were very enthusiastic to learn about these creatures and their habitat. They were all participating and were very engaged when touching the animals and answering questions. This was a great opportunity to broaden their knowledge of sea animals by using their sensory skills and also their understanding and care for natural environments.

06.01.2022 Yesterday we had a visitor Mr Gary from Planetarium, for part of Science week. He took the children on a adventure into the night sky and space. The children were engaged with lots of conversations and questions. As they looked at the planets and then the constellations we discovered that Saturn now has 83 moons. The children were amazed by this. Next we watched a video about a dog who went to space and visited the moon. Through this social experience, the Joeys and Kangaroos engaged in meaningful conversations about space. They demonstrated their learning by observing the night sky, planets, sun and constellations! Thank you Mr Gary for visiting Bronte Kids!

04.01.2022 Say hello to our new pet fish, CUPBOARD! (or Cubby for short :) To extend on the childrens interest of sea life, the Joeys room has a new pet fish. The children watched the gold fish come into its new home. As they listened to instructions on how to look after the fish, they came up with some names. All the names were put in a hat and Oliver picked a name out for us. The Joey room pet fish name is... CUPBOARD! An original name picked by Odette and she was so excited! Welcome to the Joeys room, Cubpoard :)

04.01.2022 Our children at Bronte Kids Preschool, along with millions of children around Australia and New Zealand, simultaneously listened to a reading of Whitney and Britney: Chicken Divas by Lucy Gifford for National Simultaneous Storytime 2020. Such a special and fun event using an Australian children's book to promote the value of reading and literacy!

03.01.2022 Yoga! The Joeys had fun thinking of different yoga poses to do and trying them out. We talked about the importance of exercise. When children practice yoga it increases their confidence, builds concentration and strengthens growing bodies.

03.01.2022 We wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful 2020! Have a joyful and safe holiday! We hope Santa is good to you all!

03.01.2022 Our NAIDOC week celebrations continue with the Joeys learning about the Aboriginal flag today and what the colours represent. The yellow for the sun the red for the land and the black for the people. We then made our own collage on our window with our hands. We also made some snakes outside!

02.01.2022 Cooper the Beaglier came to visit! He got involved in the childrens' group time while also explored the outdoor area with them. The children took turns walking him around the garden. They were aware of his needs and eager to help, making sure he had water. The children found a bowl and poured some water for him. They thought he might be cold and want a rest as he lay down on the mat and they wrapped the parachute over him. They practiced tricks with him like speak, "sit", "paw", "down" and "up". He was too excited to do his rollover trick so we might try that another time :)

02.01.2022 This week is NAIDOC week. It is all about celebrating the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. It is also a great opportunity to support our local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. The theme for this year is "Voice, Treaty, Truth". The children sing Acknowledgement of Country every day and show our respects for the Gadigal people, past, present and future. Singing the acknowledgement of Country enables the children to show respect to Indigenous cultures and belong to a group of love and respect for diversity.
