24.01.2022 Thank you to the wonderful Holdsworth family who are babysitting pur much loved birds these holidays. Each holidays our three beautiful finches need a loving home to go to. Excitedly the Holdsworth family will be caring for them these holidays, and previously the French family took them over the Christmas break. Our birds are extremely low maintenance, they come in a smaller Bird cage with their food for the two weeks and only need to be topped up every two-thirds days. ... The birds are very quiet and quite interesting to watch-their little sweet sounds are quite lovely to listen too. If you would like to go on our 'Bird Baby sitting list' please send through a message to register your interest! What an exciting way to start the holidays!

18.01.2022 CCPS Story Salad Last week a small group of researcher children engaged in a story writing experience. We began by reading a book ‘Animal Pants’ by Brian Moses and Anna Borerzki. The educator explained to the children the text is the spoken words we read, and the picture corresponds to those words. Next it was the children’s turn to create a page for their very own story book. The children came up with a title ‘Animal Jungle’ they then each chose an animal character to dra...w, before using their creative skills to add a sentence about their picture. The educator assisted the children in putting the book together before we read it as a group. Learning Outcome 4: children are confident and involved learners Learning Outcome 5: children are effective communicators
