10.01.2022 If your child is due to start school next year you may find the following information about school readiness from Kid Sense useful over the summer holiday break. Please watch out for updates in this area over the coming weeks. What is school readiness? School readiness refers to whether a child is ready to make an easy and successful transition into school. The term ‘preschool readiness’ might be used in the same manner in reference to beginning preschool (Kindergarten). Scho...ol readiness can be actively facilitated with a little forward planning to ensure that children regularly participate in activities that develops the appropriate skills required to help optimal learning when they start school. While many people think of academics (e.g. writing their name, counting to 10, knowing the colours) as the important school readiness skills, school readiness actually refers to a much broader range of skills. In addition to some academic basics, school readiness skills also include self-care (independent toileting and opening lunch boxes), attention and concentration, physical skills (e.g. having the endurance to sit upright for an entire school day), emotional regulation, language skills and play and social skills. What are the building blocks necessary to develop school readiness? Self-Regulation: The ability to obtain, maintain and change emotion, behaviour, attention and activity level appropriate for a task or situation. Sensory processing: Accurate processing of sensory stimulation in the environment as well as in one’s own body that influences attention and learning that effects how you sit, hold a pencil and listen to the teacher. Receptive language (understanding): Comprehension of spoken language (e.g. the teachers instructions). Expressive language (using language): Producing speech or language that can be understood by others (e.g. talking to friends). Articulation: The ability to clearly pronounce individual sounds in words. Executive functioning: Higher order reasoning and thinking skills (e.g. What do I need to pack to take to school?). Emotional development/regulation: The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and regulate emotions (for a child’s own responses to challenges). Social skills: Determined by the ability to engage in reciprocal interaction with others (either verbally or non-verbally), to compromise with others and to be able to recognise and follow social norms. Planning and sequencing: The sequential multi-step task/activity performance to achieve a well-defined result (e.g. a cut and paste task or a simple maths worksheet).

07.01.2022 QA3 Physical Environment: A journey to explore the ‘realms of the reptile’, our OHSC educator Marelize created a twist on outside elements with creation of a faux indoor reptile terrarium. Bringing the outside in, the group discussed captivating creatures within the reptilian world; species, habitats, food requirements, movements. Between squeals and squirms of delight and some of fright it certainly was an intriguing display, come out and play

04.01.2022 Important information for all families regarding the new child care package.

01.01.2022 What a busy week we have been having in our Baby and Toddler Hub. The children have been interested in trucks and bikes and exploring different forms of transport, including cars, boats and buses. A road was created in the dirt area with bridges, made from planks of wood.... The children painted on paper using small trucks to make tracks. The children have been playing with the small cars and parking them into little garages. We had a look at the little metal bike and rickshaw and how the peddles work to turn the wheels. Then we looked at the London buses and a boat made from a banana palm husk!
