25.01.2022 Wombat School Readiness- Things that keep us alive This week the Wombats sat in a nice circle with Miss Vanessa to go through some magazines to find things that our bodies need to keep us alive. The Wombats worked in teams looking through and talking about things that we need, they found water, food and the sun the children then used scissors to cut out what they had found they then glued it on to a piece of paper. The Wombats worked well in teams to find things.... It was great seeing them share and talk to each other with their ideas.

25.01.2022 Supervision Training All the staff at Elderslie ELC participated in a supervision training day. Children need safe and secure environments to thrive in their life and learning. Effective supervision is integral to creating environments that are safe and responsive to the needs of all children.... It also helps to protect children from hazards or harm that may arise from their play and daily routines. Effective supervision also allows educators to engage in meaningful interactions with children. We promote our staff to have the highest qualifications by always ensuring staff stay current in their training of on going practices within the centre, ensuring the best care for all the children within our care.

24.01.2022 KANGAROO'S SCHOOL READINESS Over in our book corner the kangaroos enjoyed exploring their new nature area. The children had so much fun playing with the toy animals in the different natural elements such as sand, bark, rocks and even water. This activity also links to our school readiness program for the week as the children continue to focus on and develop their cognitive skills as mix and water to create wet sand in which they use their fine motor and sensory skills to mould and manipulate into different shapes and objects.

Together as a class and each of us individually have achieved some many new accomplishments and milestones, including a couple of tooth fairy visits, learning to confidently write their own names, participating in classroom group games with rules and instructions, standing up in front of their friends and telling news, a...nd starting the orientation process to big school. It has been a crazy year that has flown by so fast, We have laughed, we have cried, we have danced, we have sung and above all we have had lots of fun, but we still have some more fun to go...... We are so proud of all the Wombat’s and all that they have achieved! It has been a very busy week for Elderslie ELC!

15.01.2022 ELLA- French This week the Wombats sat with Miss Vanessa on the mat and went over their newly learnt French words to see what the children could remember. Miss Vanessa asked the children how to say hi my name is; it was great to see so many hands go up to have a turn at saying it in French, the children each said salut je m'appelle, which was correct. They then went over the colours to see if they remembered the French terms for each word. The children did so well with some of the colours but needed some help with some other trickier ones. It was great to see the children so happy with themselves for remembering the translation of words.

06.01.2022 Mini Master Chef After the Koala children's morning play, the children eagerly engaged in making a cake with Miss Ashley for Elderslie's Mini Master Chef. The Koala children used their fine motor skills to help mix the cake batter with the wooden spoon and then passed the bowl onto their friends. Miss Ashley explained that we need to mix all of the butter, milk and cake mix together until its nice and soft. Once the cake batter was all smooth, we sent it up to the kitchen for Miss Minnie to put in the oven and cook. The children were very excited to eat their yummy vanilla cake for afternoon tea!

05.01.2022 Memory Game For School Readiness the Kangaroo children were invited to take part in a class game of memory. The children gathered on group time mat with Miss Amy around a variety of random objects, Miss Amy explained the rules of the game to the Kangaroos before playing, once the Kangaroos understood the concept it was time to play! For the first round they started off with three objects, Miss Amy placed a sheet over them and removed one, the children were then encouraged to use their cognitive skills and memory to identify which item was missing from the three. The children did so well with this that their educators decided to make it a little more tricky each time by adding another object. The Kangaroos really enjoyed this school readiness activity and displayed amazing cognitive skills.
