23.01.2022 At Western Plains Lismore Childcare, we have been super busy outdoors this term, learning about nature, gardening and insects. We investigated snails and spiders & extended children’s interest in this by creating these insects and their environments through our art experiences. Children were eager to help educators, tending and looking after our garden beds, assisting with the weeding, and planting of our new plants. Children were all very excited at the opportunity to take some of our produce home from our gardens. #everydaylearning #lismorevic #corangamitekids #corangamite #gardeningwithkids

13.01.2022 An educator and I were discussion how some children like to collect all the toys for what seems to be not other reason than to have them. Also about watching a two year old lie on the ground and watch the wheels of a car go round and round, this led to discussions of Schema and research that led to this explanation Knowing about these play-urges can help us to understand why our children are so determined to do certain things that we might not understand from the following website. I hope you enjoy the information as much as I did. http://www.nature-play.co.uk/blog/schemas-in-childrens-play

11.01.2022 Theres more to say after R U ok? check in with your friends, Family and work Colleges2020 has been a challenging year for everyone and circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected and, for those who are able, be willing to support those around us. In the lead-up to R U OK?Day well help Australians know what to say when someone says theyre not OK and guide them through how they can continue a conversation that could change a life. You dont have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says theyre not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before theyre in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life. #RUoK https://youtu.be/erHLP29tzPE

Virtual painting with a friend who is learning at home & virtual card games with Skipton Aged Care. We continue to catch up with our elderly friends at Skipton Aged Care. Today we played a number game. The residents yelled out a number and we had to work out the corresponding amount at the kinder end. We are also teaching them some of our sign language songs. We were happy that Eve could come to our catch up virtually as well #Stayingconnected #Kindergarten #Corangamite
