25.01.2022 Morning tea outside for our Nursery friends today. The children love sitting at the table. This promotes self help skills as the children eat finger foods and use their drink bottles independently.

24.01.2022 Over the last few weeks we have been working on a new garden project. The kindergarten children suggested we grow some more plants.... but what to grow. We spoke about our already up and running gardens with herbs, vegies and flowers. What else could we plant? "Butterfly and Bird plants", they suggested. So with some research we found some lovely Australian Native plants that would do the job. We asked Rory's Pop to build a planter for us (It's it awesome!), Miss Michelle went to the plant nursery on the weekend, and the kindergarten children planted today. We also have a bird bath, for the birds and butterflies to drink from. We have actioned a water committee, to help the plants grow. Great work Kindergarten children. Tucker Bush

19.01.2022 Good Friday, means a breakfast of toasted Hot cross buns in my house. Hot cross bun Easter trivia; Hot cross buns became commemorations of Good Friday and accross Christendom the cross came to represent the crucifixion and the spices symbolised those used to embalm Jesus at his burial.

18.01.2022 There is so much learning happeing in our everyday play. Look at all these components of learning, that help children with fine motor development to reach a goal of cutting and writting. (Stacking and blockplay, threading and connecting).

16.01.2022 In the toddler room our friends explored leaves. We felt them for their texture and smelt them for their fragrance. Then used them with our paints and brushes to create lovely leaf prints.

Place your order by Friday for delivery the following Tuesday. Great Christmas gifts. Only at the centre till 9th October. # if you have any old formula tins, pls bring them in.

16.01.2022 Yesterday was national sign language day. While walking around the centre I saw our kindergarten class learning some sign language for nature items (to co-ordinate with their spring time program), and our nursery friends looked at some signs which they tried to copy.

15.01.2022 One of Miss Michelle's favourite childhood memories .... have some fairy bread today and add a little sparkle to your day !

14.01.2022 Today our toddler friends explore the Very Hungry Caterpillar. They read the book, talked about healthy options and used their fine motor and gross motor skills to feed the Caterpillar they painted last week from recycled boxes. This was also a great turn taking activity.

14.01.2022 Lots of new Tucker Bush plants ready to be planted on Monday with the children to continue our Indigenious garden and RAP journey.

14.01.2022 Our Centre Director Michelle, loves to pop into the kindergarten room and share lunch with the children. It's a lovely time to just be out of the office, and chat with the children. She learn lots of new things, and is part of all the discussions. Today's discussion was about going to coles to collect the Mini Treehouse books, what vegetables we like and what we might get up to on the weekend.

11.01.2022 Day 4 of the Snr Toddlers "Spring Time Program" and the snr toddler children used white roses and coloured water to create coloured roses. The children watched in anticipation and named the colours of the water. After rest time, they discovered that the white roses were changing colour!

10.01.2022 Yes it’s lovely to receive a card, a photo, a pasta necklace etc, but how is this meaningful for the child and involve their learning and relationship throughout the rest of the year? Each of our rooms have talked about and discussed different ways they will be celebrating all the mums and special ladies in their lives, with the children and how we can continue celebrating all year round. With the help of our families by sending in photos of mum n child, or grandmothers, or s...pecial family events, our rooms made large floor books, that the children will be able to access all year. Our kindergarten children completed questionairs about their mums and finished off with a drawing of their mum. Happy mother's day to all our mum and special women in our lives.

10.01.2022 With summer just around the corner, here's a reminder of why we will still play outdoors, when we can, after all our safety checks and ground temperature checks have been completed and pass the test.

10.01.2022 Our "Spring Program" has sprung. Today our nursery friends explored the garden, watering cans and looked at pictures of fruits and vegies. Our toddler friends created some caterpillars. In the Snr toddler room they made special feely bags with flowers, herbs and leaves. The pre kindergarten children used leaves from the garden to explore, feel and trace around.

10.01.2022 Talk like a pirate day.(Fundraiser for childhood cancer) Arrrrr, we had some great looking pirate mates throughout the week.

07.01.2022 Today the children in the pre kindergarten room continued their SPRING TIME PROGRAM by making bird feeders. Using recycled bottles, the children used their fine and gross motor skills to squeeze the honey on the bottle, then rolled them in bird seed.

03.01.2022 Return of the centre weekly assembly! During the last few months we stopped our assemblies due to covid and restricting close contact etc. But today we shared our first assembly since the end of February. It was lovely to see our embedded practices (even though they have been on holidays for the past 6 mths) were still remembered by the children. We started our assembly with our Welcome, Circle song and Acknowledgement of Country, before discussing the meaning of our indigeno...us mat. (people sitting around a camp fire having a chat). We then marked our rolls and talked good hygiene practices. Parents if you hear "Happy Birthday" being sung in your bathrooms, this is the song we encourage the children to sign while washing their hands, given them enough time to build up bubbles and wash the top and back of hands and in between fingers. Our centre assemblies will continue again on a weekly basis. See more

02.01.2022 Friendships formed.

01.01.2022 Springtime Program. To finish off week 1 of our springtime program our Kindergarten friends have been doing some gardening. They have planted some Marigolds and have weeded and water all the gardens in the centre. They also looked at some life cycles. Our Nursery friends engaged in some farm activities with a gluing collage, songs, books and puppets. Our Pre kindergarten class used herbs from our garden (mint, lavender and rosemary) in their playdough today. The smell in the room was devine. Our Toddler friends used paints and brushes to create their own butterflies.
