24.01.2022 PLAYGROUP @ MILLFIELD BUILDING MUSCLES AND COORDINATION The inclusion of the large stepping stones added a challenge for the older children at Playgroup as they balanced across the pathway. Using textas and thick paint brushes for art, provided practice for developing pencil grips and exploring children’s creativity. The monster story book entertained as the children identified and labelled their facial features. Lots of singing and action rhymes followed, with cheeky monkeys and sleeping bunnies as favourites. We ventured outside for ball games and a bear hunt to finish the morning. Cessnock Multipurpose Children’s Centre has been Educating and Caring for Children since 1963

18.01.2022 PUZZLING It was a puzzling afternoon at Occasional Care this week, when expert educators provided a selection of jigsaw puzzles of increasing difficulty for the children to complete. The children took on the challenge of the new puzzles and showed focus and determination as they discovered where each piece should be placed. There were many proud and smiling faces at the completion of each puzzle. The advantages of puzzles for children’s development are numerous, from fine mot...or, to problem solving and self-esteem. Completing puzzles assists children to learn cognitive, physical and emotional skills while challenging themselves.

15.01.2022 BUBBLES AND SENSORY BOTTLES There were many sensory experiences this week at Playgroup @ Millfield. The children made sensory bottles with water and glitter, we had bubbles and parachute activities, finger plays and a singing story. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain's pathways, which lead to the child's ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.

The children and expert educators at Nulkaba Educational Preschool were discussing alternative things they could make, and to extend on their Hammer Time enthusiasm.... The children concentrated as they hammered the nails into the wood.
