25.01.2022 This week we have celebrated Naidoc week. We read lots of aborigianl stories and extended lots with our craft off these stories. The children have learnt many aspects of the aboriginal culture like the meaning of the colours on the flag, what different symbols mean how to dot paint and learnt alot about their lifestyle and culture. Been a very interesting week.

23.01.2022 This week has been all about Halloween. Lots of sensory play and craft. Its starting to heat up so the children have been cooling off with some water play. Been a fun filled busy week.

21.01.2022 This week we have been continuing our learning about our bodies and senses. Been a bit of a wet week but the children have handled the extra time inside well. Next week is the start of the school holidays. So plenty of fun activities planned. Just a reminder I am away the second week from the 28th September to the 1st October.

20.01.2022 This week we had a few areas we were looking at. Beginning of the week was Melbourne Cup. Most favourite activity for the day was making our own horses to have our own race. And to finish the week we looked at name and letter recognition and patterns which extended of childrens observations. Overall a wonderful week with lots of water play to cool down.

19.01.2022 One of my children discovered he loved smoothies this week at home. So thank you to one of my wonderful parents for bringing this lovely fruit in so we can make smoothies next week with the children.

18.01.2022 Over the past 2 weeks we have been looking at different types of Insects and Bugs. . Has been lots of fun. So many learning experiences for the children and beautiful opportunities to interact with one another.

17.01.2022 With the change in weather occurring daily I ask if your children are showing any symptoms or signs of the cold or flu I ask could you please keep home. This will just help stop the spread of any germs within our fdc environment and protect one another from becoming sick. I really appreciate your co-operation.

16.01.2022 This week we have been extending our learning about dinosaurs. We created a really cool dinosaur land and made some crispy dinosaur eggs to eat. The children loved following the dinosaur path developing their number recognition and enjoyed the sensory experience digging for dinosaurs and the dinosaur slime sensory tub. Its been a horrible wet week but when we had a chance to get outside the obstacle course has been a huge hit this week. We picked our first cucumbers this week children were very excited.

16.01.2022 Today we had a visit from Janelle the Educational Leader from the Cassowary Coast Family Daycare Scheme. The children thoroughly enjoyed interacting with her whilst she read a book which was called " My body". This has been the intentional teaching for the week. Having the children look and learn about their bodies. Was a lovely visit and can't wait for next time.

15.01.2022 Last week was short days for the children and I though I was still able to get in some Intentional teaching. We focussed on bodies and senses this week which extended off a group conversation the week before when the children asked, What are bones? Aswell as looking at our different body parts we have started looking at our 5 senses aswell.

14.01.2022 Its been a short week for me this week but we have been looking at colours. Learning colours and creating colours. Been a very colourful week. The children have really enjoyed the books about colours I resourced from the library. Especially the book " Whit rabbits colours".

12.01.2022 This week we have wrapped up our learning about dinosaurs. Has been a few interesting weeks with the children really engaging in the experiences. We have looked at fossils, dinosaur parts, habitats of dinosaurs and what they eat. Many learning opportunities for the children to have engaged in whilst developing all areas of development. Looking forward to after the holidays to welcoming a few new families.

12.01.2022 This week we have continued our learning and exploring about colours. Its been a very colourful week.

Welcome to our new friend Natalie this week hope you had a wonderful first day

12.01.2022 We have talking about farms and farm animals and today we extended on this. We planted our own corn and snow peas. We painted and collaged pictures of corn, we created some scarecrows using a variety of shapes cut out of paper and we made some delicious popping popcorn from corn kernals. We also watched and sang the " Dingle Dangle Scarecrow." Been a fun filled day

07.01.2022 Over the last few weeks I have been trying a new program called Kinderloop. It's is a great tool to help myself as a educator share photos and observations on your child's development, to display my programming and ideas on a daily basis and to help link all areas that are essential for a educator to make sure we are meeting all children's needs. It also means we are becoming more sustainable which helps the environment. I will be sending emails out soon so please download the App. If you have any questions please just ask.

07.01.2022 So this week is National Science Week so we incorporated some science into our theme of insects and bugs. We looked at static electricity using a balloon to lift the butterfly wings. We used force blowing through a straw to move our creeping catepillars. We also looked at creating colours which extended off a group observation. Using frozen ice cubes and paper towel to creep the colours into one another. Aswell as our science we looked at the letter A and S for ants and snails and today we looked at wringly worms with the children creating a wormery. The children decided to take these home as well as connecting them to the world through this experience they also now have to take responsibility to look after their worms. Was wonderful experience.

05.01.2022 This week we have been discovering dinosaurs. Many opportunities to extend so many developmental areas for the children. has been another wonderful week.

03.01.2022 Well first week back after holidays and I have welcomed some new families and children which I am grateful for as i have now filled my vacancies. Looking forward to getting to know the children and their families. This week hasnt been as structured as i have focussed on working to settle the new children and to learn about each individual child.

01.01.2022 This week we have started looking at farm animals and the farm. After welcoming all the new children last week they have certainly started to feel safe settling into routines and have started developing friendships with eacother.

01.01.2022 Nothing like finishing the week off with a slimy dinosaur sensory land. Such a great way to explore new words, interactions, problem solving and imagination.
