25.01.2022 Today at Redgum Drive we completed our Day for Daniel walk. The aims of the Foundation are to educate children and young people about how to stay safe in physical and online environments and to support young victims of crime. Child safety is very important to us and we walk in support of the foundation and to ensure we share this important message with our children.

23.01.2022 Woodwork is a wonderful medium for expressive art and creative design and it also has the benefit of encompassing many other areas of learning and development, providing a truly cross-curricular activity. It helps to develop mathematical thinking, to gain scientific knowledge and children become engineers as they construct. We explored wood craft materials and expressed our imagination in a variety of creative ways by producing work that we personally found interesting. Here is our kindergarten engineers in action...

21.01.2022 Pre-kindy have been learning about different animals and their habitats, today we started the second part of our bear cave painting it brown and black...we’re going on a bear hunt sang the children as they began their creation. Learning about animals has helped the children develop care, empathy and respect, it has helped with their research skills as well as built on their own self confidence and social skills.

20.01.2022 For the third week at Redgum Drive we have Miss Becca’s Book Corner, where we offer a new story each week for the children to enjoy at home with their families, bringing that Redgum sense of belonging to your home. This week’s book is, I’m a dirty dinosaur, written and illustrated by Janeen Brian and Ann James. If you have any request for Miss Becca’s Book Corner drop a message below

20.01.2022 Just a reminder to our Redgum families that tomorrow you will need to wear a mask when dropping of your child/ren. We will be doing foyer drop offs and staff will be available all day to assist with this.

19.01.2022 Our toddler space is where children are encouraged to develop on their self-identity, able to transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another.

15.01.2022 Maths is like ice cream, with more flavours than you can imagine-and if all your children ever do is textbook maths, that’s like feeding them broccoli-flavoured ice cream (Denise Gaskins-Let’s play maths). Our Kindergarten class was provided with a provocation...a simple question....How many shells are in the jar? From there developed collaborative and parallel investigations into shape, measurement, classification and patterns. Our approach to learning numeracy is a rainbow assortment of delightful learning, ice cream for the brain.

15.01.2022 Exploring sense of smell with fresh herbs from the garden Through this absorbing exploratory session, children are experimenting and developing their skills by connecting with the nature.

11.01.2022 Children are naturally creative, It is our job to give them the freedom, materials and space to let their creativity blossom to its full potential and in Pre-Kindy the children have been doing just that using their creativity and imaginations to create and build their very own birds nest.

04.01.2022 In the Pre-kindy room Miss Becca and Miss Amy have been encouraging the children to learn news skills and this week we have been learning to thread beads.

Threading also helps to develop eye-hand coordination and concentration skills.

02.01.2022 Our toddlers have been exploring the world of ‘The very hungry caterpillar’ by Eric Carle as part of their room project on bugs. This book has been brought to life in the toddler space and it’s even more exciting when we find a visitor in our garden beds
