24.01.2022 Nursery Cooking Class This morning’s cooking class in the Nursery was a great sensory experience for the children. They explored the yoghurt with their hands and enjoyed eating the ingredients of the yoghurt and fruit bark before it was frozen. This is a simple snack that is easy to make at home. You can use any variety of fruit (we used berries and bananas). Your little ones will love this on a hot, sunny day!

22.01.2022 Kids and Traffic It is never too early for children to begin learning about road safety. As soon as children can move, they are on the go, exploring! Children are also unpredictable, which is why it is important to hold your child’s hand upon arrival and departure to the Centre, especially around the car park and near the road. Be sure to grab your free copy of the Road Safety booklet from our Parent Hub, it is filled with great hints and tips on how to keep your little ones safe on and around the roads.

22.01.2022 Pretend cooking is one of the most popular ways that children engage in natural imaginative play. During these experiences, children are developing their social and emotional intelligence as they learn to negotiate, consider different perspectives, read social cues and recognise and regulate their own emotions. The development of these skills and how children interact with others could be the key to their lifelong success and happiness

20.01.2022 NAIDOC Week 2020 (November 8-15) NAIDOC week is held each year (usually in July) to acknowledge and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. This year’s NAIDOC Week theme is ‘Always Was, Always Will Be’, recognising that the First Nations peoples occupied and cared for this great continent for over 65,000 years. The First Peoples have the world’s oldest oral stories. They engraved the world’s first maps, made the earliest pain...tings of ceremony and invented unique technologies. They even built and engineered structures predating well-known sites such as the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge. This year we will celebrate that Australia has one of the oldest, continuing cultures on the planet, and recognise that the very first footprints on this continent were those belonging to First Nations peoples.
