25.01.2022 One of the greatest benefits to sleeping outdoors is the increased brain activity which allows children to be happier , have better concentration, and an improved memory.

25.01.2022 Our experienced teachers here at Griffin make learning visual to children, families and colleagues. So why is visual documentation of learning valuable???? By providing evidence of the children's learning in all areas of the child's development through photographs, transcripts of conversations and artifacts of their work displayed, we can visibly see the learning process.... Sending a clear message to all that... Learning is purposeful Learning is social Learning is representational Learning is empowering Learning is emotional Please take time to appreciate this engaging documentation throughout the service.

25.01.2022 Children are born curious. They love to learn about new concepts and approach the natural world with wonder and awe. Here at Griffin we provide a space for children to learn about sustainability and take on new projects that encourage them tap into this natural sense of wonder and instil in them the importance of caring for their natural world. Children are taking on the responsibility of caring for all our indoor plants that provide us with clean air.

24.01.2022 Creating a shared vision for a collaborative team Respect, kindness, friendship, love, appreciation and so much more. We know the importance of creating a strong shared vision for our team. A compelling vision enables us to anticipate an exciting future. And, when developed collaboratively an inspiring vision provides a rallying cry that energizes everyone to accomplish big things.... Green Leaves Griffin is an amazing team!!!!!!

22.01.2022 The children at Green Leaves Griffin built confidence and took pride in their Easter Bonnets as they joined the parade. A fabulous time was had by all during our colourful celebrations.

20.01.2022 Beautiful flower pots created by our beautiful children for our beautiful Mums

20.01.2022 CREATIVE EXPRESSION!!! It’s all about learning to express ourselves through different avenues in the Kindy room. Creative expression provides opportunities for children at Griffin to try out new ideas, develop their imaginations and problem-solving skills and see what happens as a result of their experimentation. It helps them work out what it is that they love doing best and it teaches them that their abilities and their contributions are highly valued.... This creative experience supported the kindy children to express their experiences and emotions through communicative avenues other than verbal. Helping to develop self-confidence, communication skills and a sense of identity while supporting them to cope with their feelings.

20.01.2022 Children at Green Leaves Griffin are exploring light and shadows. Using a touch as a learning resource we encouraged children to freely explore objects and their shadows. They began experimenting with the touch using shapes to make shadows appear on the wall. They also made use of blocks to create colourful shapes. ... To advance their inquiry, Brittney asked questions like, What do you notice? How did you do that? The children continued experimenting by moving objects around. Some spent a great deal of time manipulating objects and observing their results. They found that turning an object changed the shape of its shadow, and they detected differences in size when shapes were moved closer to and further away from the light as they traces around the outlines of each shadow created. Keep posted as this inquiry continues, next we might head outside to find shadows. I wonder what we will discover.

19.01.2022 Is that a crocodile I see living in the green green swamp ??????? Children in the Nursery are exploring textures using all of their senses - touch, taste, smell, sight and sound- as they engage in a visually stimulating and inviting swampy learning experience.

18.01.2022 At Green Leaves Griffin children have an abundance of opportunities to connect with our living world. Learning to be kind and gentle while holding baby turtles was a beautiful experience for all our children.

18.01.2022 NAIDOC week was celebrated throughout the service this week. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples represent the oldest and richest cultures on Earth. NAIDOC Week is one way to recognise the unique and enduring relationship of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to our lands. This week the children in the Nursery explored aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples culture as they created art work using red, yellow and brown paint to represent the land, sun and ground.

18.01.2022 Ashleigh our Kindergarten teacher and newly appointed Japanese teacher has commenced language classes with the children from the Nursery to the Kindy rooms. Green Leaves provides the opportunity for children to learn a second language as it boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills, in addition to improving memory, concentration, and the ability to multitask. Keep posted for all the news about this amazing program.

15.01.2022 Toddler 2 children become Entomologist. Children can learn new skills, have fun, socialise and develop self-confidence by spending time in the garden tending plants and exploring the world of mini- beasts. Most children enjoy being outdoors and love digging in the soil, getting dirty, finding insects and watching plants grow.... Here at Green Leaves children are encouraged to explore the small animals that share our world.

11.01.2022 MESSY MUDDY MOMENTS !!!! Our educators here at Green Leaves Griffin are more than willing to get dirty in the name of learning and development. The children in the Nursery continue to develop their scientific thinking as they explore the language of mud, mud and more mud.

10.01.2022 We are turning our focus towards mental health and wellbeing at Griffin as we consider the emotional needs of our children, families and educators. This month we registered into the Be You program, a national mental health initiative for educators which aims to promote and protect positive mental health in children and young people in every early learning service. Our vision is to build a positive, inclusive and resilient community where every child, young person, staff me...mber and family can achieve their best possible mental health. Please join me in welcoming Casey as our nominated Be You action leader. Casey will work towards implementing this mental health and wellbeing initiative. Keep an eye out for more information and stories of this initiative in action.
