17.01.2022 Our Daycare day is spent mostly in the healthy outdoors. Most mornings we visit a playground, library, playgroup, play centre, have nature walks beach time etc. We meet up with other educators and are mostly in a group of at least 8 kiddies when out. Busy Butterflies are our service providers and plan so many fabulous excursions and play groups where lots of educators get together for meet ups. Our eating and play areas are all outside as we have lots of undercover spac...e. Quiet time/sleeping and dancing, singing is in our indoor airconditioned room. (Unless we having an outside disco ). Craft is carried out outside on the sensory table (the sensory tubs are rotated weekly) really messy craft is completed on lawn Play is a huge part of our day and 2 days are never the same with lots of planned play experiences for the children.

We have trips out most mornings which vary from beach combing to library visits.... to walks through bushland to a well run educators playgroup ... and many many more. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PLAYING IN A NATURAL ENVIRONMENT?... By being outside and surrounded by nature, children experience an ever-changing and free-flowing environment that stimulates all the senses. Outdoor play fosters childrens intellectual, emotional, social and physical development. INTELLECTUAL BENEFITS The natural world is a giant, open-ended learning laboratory. Children are innate scientists and love to experience the sights, scents, sounds, and textures of the outdoors. Nature provides countless opportunities for discovery, creativity, problem-solving, and STEM education. Interacting with natural environments allows children to learn by doing and experiment with ideas. In nature, children think, question, and make hypotheses - thereby developing inquisitive minds. Being outside feels good. Children are free to explore, move about, and make noise; all delightful forms of self-expression that are often restricted indoors. Being in nature enables children to run, jump, hop, skip, climb, roll, and shout, which relaxes, and reduces tension, anxiety, and restlessness. Researchers have found that outdoor play calms children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Furthermore, nature enhances a sense of peace and often brings out nurturing qualities in children. Many energetic children slow down to dig a hole in sand, watch a ladybug crawl, or spend focused time playing with a stick in a mud puddle. SOCIAL BENEFITS When children play outdoors there may be opportunities to interact with new and different playmates. In nature, children can play alone or connect with one another, learn to share, and problem solve. In the natural world, children often collaborate to make up games and rules because there are no prescribed sets of instructions. When exploring outside, school-age children may not be in close proximity to adults, which gives them the opportunity to make up their own rules and solve their own problems, without inhibition. Often, when involved in the natural world, even boisterous, active children may slow down and learn to focus on being gentle. They also may develop empathy and reach out to console a friend who seems hurt or sad. PHYSICAL BENEFITS The fresh air of the natural world is invigorating and offers endless opportunities for physical activity, which, in turn, builds strong bodies. Exposure to sunlight means children absorb vitamin D which has many positive benefits, including contributing to a strong immune system. Outdoor play also allows a child to be more physically active than indoor play, potentially burning more calories and contributing positively to a childs overall fitness. Some of these outdoor activities include:

02.01.2022 Dinosaur area added to our Messy area today.. Our digger/bark play, Sand play/pirate ship(adding new sand this week), veg garden and water play all accessible to the children all day

01.01.2022 Science week. Lots of experiments to make and watch. The children love taking part and discovering new things
