25.01.2022 What a great video of one our favourite feathered friends!

25.01.2022 Building on interests is this is one of the easiest ways to extend play with the children. A great example of this: our Senior toddlers children have been exploring and showing great interest in the ocean; Miss Megan thought that a sensory experience was a great way to build new play experiences based on the childrens interests! Blue pasta did the trick!

24.01.2022 Using Chopsticks in our activities promotes hand-eye coordination, is a great pre-handwriting task and strengthens hands. It also Improves fine and visual motor skills. With a bit of rolled up paper, 2 chopsticks and a rubber band you can make your own child friendly chopsticks at home!

23.01.2022 Miss Mel and Orlagh have enjoyed experiementing in the Sadnpit this afternoon! Discovering the world through play!

23.01.2022 The Kindergarten children have been patiently waiting for this moment! Over the weekend, 4 of our Sunflowers came to bloom! Seeing the delight and excitement on the childrens faces was the most special way to start this fabulous week!

23.01.2022 Thanks to Bunnings Warehouse Australia at Virginia for the generous donation of vinyl flooring! We now have an outdoor eating area ready for our Senior Toddler and Pre-kindergarten children to use on Monday! Thanks to Miss Megan, Miss Eloise and Miss Sarah for coming in to work today to make it happen!

21.01.2022 This week we are celebrating National Science week, exploring the theme Deep Blue!! The theme embraces the innovative technologies, capabilities and skills needed to achieve economic, environmental and social sustainability of our oceans. It also aims to encourage an interest in science pursuits among the general public, and to encourage younger people to become fascinated by the world we live in.... We are looking forward to a week full of fun and ocean inspired learning

19.01.2022 How amazing is this!

19.01.2022 Learning our names is the springboard for literacy learning in kindergarten! Children’s names are the most important words to them, and learning them leads to all other types of learning. When we talk about teaching children their names, it is important to consider these three stages. https://playtolearnpreschool.us/stages-of-learning-names/

19.01.2022 The Goodstart Family Behaviour Support Kit has information and resources to help support your child to understand and manage their emotions and help them learn how to communicate their needs in an appropriate way.

Today we extended this interest by adding small mesh strainers to help sieve the sand.. the children were busily searching for treasures all day!

05.01.2022 What is the purpose of experimenting? An experiment is a procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated. This morning we enjoyed experimenting with Sand; using water, sticks and our hands!
