25.01.2022 R U OK? This extract from Winnie the Pooh pretty much sums it up. Be Piglet today for someone "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.... There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet. "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." "That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending our thoughts to anyone having a difficult day today. May you have your own Piglet to sit beside you

18.01.2022 When life throws you a rainy day, play in the puddles ~ Winnie the Pooh Our Toddlers loved being a part of nature's gift today ...

18.01.2022 The start of Spring has seen the children at GS Narellan Vale very busy tending to our garden outside. They show a real love for gardening tasks such as watering plants, planting seedlings and digging in the dirt. Our Preschool 1 children have recently begun a flower themed exploration and this week spent time with their educators learning about the lifecycle of flowers and different parts of flowers as well as creating their own flowers. Being involved in learning about nature fosters a sense of respect and care towards our natural environment as well as encouraging the children's sense of curiosity and wonder. #natureplay

14.01.2022 Book Week is always an exciting time at Goodstart, when children can let their imaginations run wild and celebrate their favourite stories and characters. One of the things Goodstart has done to celebrate Book Week 2020, is to add a new ‘Story Time’ tile in the Parents section of Goodstart@Home. In this new section you will find the four video readings of this year’s Children’s Book Council of Australia shortlisted books, as well as to other book readings, plus age-based rec...ommended reading lists for families! Mums, dads and carers will love having some guidance on which are the best books for babies, toddlers and 3-5 year olds for maximum learning and fun! Check them out today! Language and literacy development is a vital part of a child’s overall development. It’s the foundation for doing well at school, socialising with others, developing independence, and succeeding in life. Reading to children stimulates imagination and play, boosts vocabulary, provokes discussion and expands thinking and knowledge. In the first five years, a child’s brain is rapidly developing and forming connections at a faster rate than any other time of their life - these connections are strengthened by language and literacy learning experiences. This learning lasts a life-time. At Goodstart our aim is to ensure every child in every centre has access to high-quality language and literacy curriculum and pedagogy to enrich their imagination and develop vital language and literacy skills from an early age.
