25.01.2022 Our 3rd workshop with Rhe took place today. The children have started work on our canvas that will have the word that we find symbolic to Giggles (watch this space). Any ideas what word it will be?? Feel free to write in the comments.

25.01.2022 Finger painting is: * an excellent tactile experience * encourages the development of cognitive skills * strengthens hand and fingers assisting with fine motor skills * gives children the opportunity to use their imagination and create ... * stimulates children’s senses. However the most important benefit is that it is FUN!!! See more

23.01.2022 To expand on the childrens sensory, cognitive and fine motor skills we love to use sensory tubs. With multi purpose and learning experiences emerging from experiences such as these, the children love to stay engaged for prolonged periods of time. Our tub today consisted of chick peas and beans with scoops and tubes. The children explore cause and effect when scooping and pouring. We talked about the different colours we could also see.

23.01.2022 Our deliciousness of the week continued today with some croissants brought in by Mateo and Lucas. Some devine mini cupcakes from Penny also did the trick of curbing our desire for a sweet treat. Thank you to both of these beautiful families that we are lucky to have at our Giggles village

23.01.2022 Going On Excursion With our backyard renovation underway, what a perfect opportunity to get out and about in the community and walking on country. Embedding safety on our outing, the Butterfly children know that a trip to the local park involves ball games, social games and taking a moment or two for some drawing.

22.01.2022 Dear families and community Please take 30 minutes from your day to watch this video and share with everyone you know. The best thing we can do for ourselves, children, family and community is to be informed and aware. Please and Thank you ... https://education.nsw.gov.au//resource-library/q-a-with-dr

18.01.2022 Happy Birthday to our beautiful Miss Natski (Natalie). The children celebrated her special day with a dolphin themed party.

She has strong bonds and connections with all the children and they just simply love her.

16.01.2022 EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS DAY The love we have for our profession is resonated through the beautiful smiles, love, care, fun and learning we provide towards our most precious little ones. We wake each day and turn up for work to be greeted with unconditional love and sticky fingers in return. We wipe dirty hands and faces, change countless numbers of nappies, play mediator between friends and roll around and get covered in mess. This is all in a days work. Giggles has the most amazing team of educators any child and parent could ask for. Today we were spoilt by everyone, through kind affectionate words, gifts of chocolate, balloons, cupcakes and then some. We appreciate you all and together we are connected as one

16.01.2022 Light board sensory table to draw and write their names using their fingers. We put some blue salt to make this experience magical. The children loved to see the light coming through their drawing.

16.01.2022 Banana Smoothies The Caterpillars Cafe was making banana smoothies this morning - we added a little bit of this and a little bit of that and whizzed it all up. What an awesome way to start our morning.

10.01.2022 Science Week We started science week with a bang today. Our experiences and experiments consisted of seeing the reaction between vinegar and bicarb soda. Needless to say there were explosions happening with lots of cheers and laughter as it all bubbled over.

10.01.2022 Outdoor Classroom Day We participated in this wonderful event today. Whilst the weather was torrential that didn’t stop the children heading outside. Dressed in wet weather clothing, jumping in muddy puddles and collecting raindrops in our mouths was a total hoot.

09.01.2022 Exploring creativity at the flower painting activity was how we expanded on the children’s talents and abilities. Miss Rachel painted some flowers using a different array of tools. With lots of bright colours in the paint pots and with guidance from Miss Rachel they were able to follow instructions to create their own interpretation and version of the picture.

09.01.2022 Our 2nd workshop with Rhe was lots of fun and hands on, using hands as tools to paint Aboriginal symbols and designs.

She will be working closely with the preschoolers room to further embed Aboriginal culture and teachings into our centre, through her Aboriginal art workshops. She spent the first visit exposing the children to Aboriginal Symbols where they all had the opportunity to recreate the symbols independently. We are very excited to begin this journey in partnership with Rhe.
