11.01.2022 Mmmm come and taste some Fresh Ricotta made in Playground to Plate today. Its warm, fresh and delicious. The children had a great time helping to make the cheese and watch it turn from milk to ricotta. What a fun sustainable thing to do, why dont you try it at home.

10.01.2022 Many Handsmake light work on a sunny winter morning Chef Ian was super impressed with Rachel and the Childrens delivery of freshly harvested and trimmed Red Spring Onions from our Playground to Plate Food Garden this week. Red Spring onions have a juicy white flesh made of thin layers and a savory and sweet flavour - YUM!

10.01.2022 Have you seen the new Tree planted near the sandpit downstairs? Rachel planted this Crepe Myrtle to create shade in Summer and to give us some flowers to enjoy and to attract happy insects to our eco system. The tree is deciduous and will give us a lovely Autumn flush of leaves

07.01.2022 The Bushfires across Australia as we know have devastatingly impacted countless Australians and Australian Wildlife. We are working with the talented Narrelle Cahill, our Centre Manager at our soon to open sister centre in Fitzroy who is an experienced sewer, to sew pouches for injured wildlife that have been affected by the devastating fires across Australia this Summer. How can you help? Please drop off any left over fabrics or material that you have at home to Brunswick We...st ELC by Friday 10 January to be sewn into pouches that will hopefully help our injured wildlife recover. These fabrics must be clean and in good condition. Narrelle and her team of experienced sewers will hold a sewing bee. The pouches will then be donated to a Wildlife Sanctuary in Diamond Creek that will work to distribute these pouches as necessary to the areas across Australia that need them most. Thank you so much for your help and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected during this very difficult time.

06.01.2022 Our Tasmanian Purple Garlic , grown from bulbs planted around Easter in the Playground to Plate class, were ready to harvest as the leaves have started to die off, a sign they are ready. Its a 6 month commitment to grow them but well worth the smell and flavour! They are also a natural pesticide to deter Aphids. Plant them in between your roses next year ... Ravi will be cooking with them tomorrow for the Family Christmas party as well as using them in the childrens meals over the coming weeks. What lucky children. #garlic #organic #gardeningwithchildren

05.01.2022 This week in Playground to Plate the children made their own Sauerkraut. Not only is it a sustainable practise to preserve your own food, Sauerkraut is good for your gut health. We are looking forward to tasting it next week! We also enjoyed the Spring sunshine and the children loved watering the garden and feeling the water tickle their hands and feet

04.01.2022 Happy Early Childhood Educators Day! Today recognises and celebrates the work of Australian Educators in all Early Learning Centres for their contribution to the wellbeing and healthy development of the young children in their care. At Brunswick West ELC reception, were inviting our families to write a note of gratitude or appreciation for an Educator who has contributed and has made a positive impact on their childs learning journey

04.01.2022 Well done and Thank you to the children in Playground to Plate that helped Plant a Tree for Planet Arks School national tree day this week. Planet Ark have been planting trees all over Australia on this special day since 1996 and have planted over 24 million Trees. Trees provide us with Fresh Air, Food and Shelter. Being amongst them and in nature provides us with a positive state of mental health and wellbeing ... All our families can visit Gilpin Reserve to see the Eucalyptus Trees we planted near the Albert St side. Look for the stakes with red paint on the top. A huge Thank you to Basil from the City of Moreland for providing the trees and locations. If you want to get involved visit https://treeday.planetark.org/get-involved/community for Tree Planting in your area Sunday 28th July.

04.01.2022 Silverbeet one of our favourite green leaf vegetables to eat and super easy to grow. Organically grown in the Playground to Plate beds at Brunswick West ELC. It was harvested, chopped and added to the Beef and Vegetable Soup on Wednesday. Sustainable, delicious, and enjoyed by all.

04.01.2022 Thanks to everyone that participated in todays fundraising fete! Happy Grand Final Weekend to all our children and families, stay safe and we look forward to seeing you all next week

03.01.2022 Mmmm the Sweet Potato Fritters were popular this week during our Playground to Plate lessons. I even had requests for the recipe from the children! Sweet Potatoes are full of Vitamin C and Magensium and are an Anti Inflammatory Root Vegetable. Funny enough they are not related to the humble potato and instead come from the Morning Glory Family ... If you want to grow your own, plant them using a tuber or seedling in November and they will be ready to Harvest in Winter next year. Happy Gardening #playgroundtoplate

03.01.2022 Exciting News! As of July 1st Moreland City Council are taking fruit and vegetable scraps in your green bin. Over 50% of household waste is food Organics and fruit and vegetables that are in landfill give off a harmful methane gas that affects climate change. ... The council initiative compliments our Playground to Plate principals of REFUSING to add to landfill REUSING the waste and RECYCLING it into compost to enrich the soils at our local parks, gardens and schools. Contact the council to get a bigger green bin or a new bin if you dont have one free of charge and a complimentary compost bin for your kitchen. #sustainableliving #refusereuserecycle #playgroundtoplate #brunswickwestelc

02.01.2022 In Playground to Plate today we were lucky enough to have Morgan from Bee Sustainable come in to talk to the children about Bees and Beekeeping. Did you know Bees only live for 6 weeks and only collect honey in the last 2 weeks of their lives! Bees have been around for around 500 million years! They are as old as dinosaurs ... Also one beehive produces 50kg of honey a year, wow!

01.01.2022 Thank you to all our wonderful children, families, dedicated staff, suppliers and the wider Brunswick West community for your continued support of Brunswick West ELC - we wouldnt be able to what we do without each and every one of you. #earlylearning #ourchildrenourfuture #ittakesavillage #onetoday
