25.01.2022 Little Shop dramatic play. Educators and children took turns for being a cashier, receiving payments and using a till.

24.01.2022 Birthday party and Thomas The Tank Engine' cake!!!

24.01.2022 Hula Hoops Miss Crystal showed the children a trick with the hula hoops - standing it upright and spinning it so that the hula hoop spins vertically. The children then tried to do this themselves by holding onto the hoop by the top and spinning it in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. This helped the children with their gross motor skills and sharing skills.

22.01.2022 Trying on Police Uniforms!! Isabelle also assisted Constable Goodwin by pretending to be a lost child in a public place. Thanks, Isabelle!

19.01.2022 Paper Plate Pirates Craft The children made beautiful pirate ships out of a pirate ship template, a paper plate and blue and white paint. Miss Kathy and Miss Boram explained to the children they had to colour in their pirate ships and then paint the sea with blue and white paint which represented the ocean. Whey they finished, their teachers helped them cut out their pirate ships and glue it onto their plates. This helped the children with their creativity, fine motor skills and pencil grip.

18.01.2022 Birthday party and ‘Thomas The Tank Engine' cake!!!

16.01.2022 Water and oil experiment: this helped the children with their imagination and creativity as well as their hypothesising and experimentation skills.

16.01.2022 What's The Time? Although the concept of 'time' is quite challenging for younger children to grasp, it was still a great learning experience for children to familiarise themselves with the characteristics of a clock such as the numbers and the hands. Furthermore, this helped them develop their number recognition.

14.01.2022 Special dinosaur eggs hatch: Miss Kathy helped pour water into jars. Then, one by one, the children dropped their egg into the water. The eggs floated in the glass. Before long, they began to sink to the bottom of the jars. Cracks appeared and miss Kathy removed a baby dinosaur from one of the eggs! Miss Kathy placed the dinosaur back into the water to grow.

13.01.2022 Babies The girls took such great care of the babies. They dressed them up in their clothes, bathed them in the baby bathtub and changed their nappies. This helped the girls in being more compassionate and empathetic towards individuals, specifically babies.

12.01.2022 Book Week Reading Children brought in their favourite books to read to our friends. This was a great way for the children to hear about their friends' favourite books as well as their listening skills, creativity and imagination.

11.01.2022 Staying Safe We were so excited to welcome Senior Constable Denis Goodwin for a visit! Continuing our Emergency Helpers Week learning, Constable Goodwin explained the role of police in a community. Children patiently listened and respectfully contributed when they were asked questions.... Constable Goodwin taught the children some ways to stay safe. They learned about safe places, safe people, safe symbols, and what to say if they feel unsafe. Children also visited Constable Goodwins car in the car park. He explained the significance of the markings on the police car.
