20.01.2022 We found a frog! The children at Hopscotch have been so excited to observe and learn about the frog we found in the Junior yard. We placed the frog in a bug catcher educator Suzie had and allowed the children in each room to take a closer look. We spoke about what frogs ate, where they lived and of course there was lots of squeals and laughter each time the frog jumped. Afterwards educator Tiffany found a safe space to let our frog friend go. Thanks for visiting Hopscotch Mr Frog!

13.01.2022 Today Hopscotch celebrated Red Nose Day Red Nose Day is supporting the extremely important research that goes towards SIDS. We are promoting safe sleep methods for all children from birth to 2 years. We raised awareness throughout the day by exploring everything RED! ... The Nursery and Toddler children put on their very own red noses and dove into a red sensory experience feeling jelly and cereal. The Juniors also wore red noses and reflected this by making biscuits with red noses and eyes - delicious! The Junior Preschool explored how they could dye apples red before making red fruit skewers and blending up red foods to make a healthy juice. The Preschool children helped to create a big red fruit platter and were very excited to try all of the foods as they sat down for a picnic together.

07.01.2022 Behold the mighty force of great minds working together One morning this week some of our Junior Preschool children decided to turn an empty container into a vehicle! They worked together to get their vehicle moving - beginning to cooperate without needing to say a word to each other. From their hard work the vehicle made its way across the yard and through the tunnel! At Hopscotch we foster the development of teamwork, collaboration and positive interactions between all children. These are important social skills to develop that will help with building strong relationships in later years of life.
07.01.2022 At Hopscotch we believe in embedding and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture in ways that are meaningful to us and our local community. This week we embedded this culture into our programs stemming from NAIDOC 2020. The educators respectfully introduced and re-visited aspects of Indigenous culture such as bush tucker, story sharing, connecting to country, and evaluating significant symbols and colours. Each of these experiences supported the children to enhance their understanding and develop an appreciation of our rich Indigenous background. We acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr People as the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live, work and play.

05.01.2022 National Reconciliation Week is a time to reflect on our shared histories and cultures, and explore how we can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia. Here at Hopscotch we used the week from the 27th of May to the 3rd of June to continue our journey of exploring and understanding Indigenous culture. The educators provided opportunities for all children to learn about the significant of Aboriginal colours, explore Indigenous symbols, move to music by Indigenous artists and use Indigenous musical instruments such as clap sticks. Hopscotch acknowledges the service is operated on the Traditional land of the Gumbaynggirr people. We acknowledge the resilience and strength of the custodians of the land and pay respect to the Elders, past, present and future.
05.01.2022 It was a beautiful day for the Nursery children to head out to the park on an excursion. The Nursery children have been becoming increasingly confident in their climbing and balancing skills, so the educators planned a play at the park to help continue to develop these skills. Each of the children had a fantastic time, which we could see through the big smiles on their faces.
05.01.2022 Some of our Hopscotch friends have been visiting zoos recently so educator Suzie decided to set up her own zoo in the Junior room. The children have had so much fun exploring all of the different types of animals in their zoo and exploring how they live, eat and sound.
03.01.2022 Friday Wrap Up! What have we been learning this week? In the Nursery, the children have been excitedly exploring their new soft space. They love the sensory ribbons and practicing climbing in a safe environment. In the Toddler room the children have continued their interest in airplanes. They have been able to explore airplanes through creative play and dramatic play. ... The Junior room has been very busy being doctors and nurses, making sure they look after all of their sick friends and educators. In the Junior Preschool room, educators followed on from some family input and set up a fishing experience during group times. Each child concentrated and watched where their fishing rod was going. Everyone celebrated together whenever a fish was caught! It was one of our Preschool friends birthday this week so it’s was time to make a cake and celebrate. The Preschool children enjoyed this so much that they continued to make cakes for their friends throughout the week using lots of play areas such as the sandpit and the play dough table. I wonder what we will learn next week?

Mud connects children directly with nature, plants and the living creatures that inhibit that world, and supports children to be more curious about the world. Mud also provides the opportunity to learn through sensory stimulation and provide the understand that materials can be used for many creative purposes. ... It is so much fun getting muddy!
03.01.2022 Earlier in the month we celebrated Dental Health Week and many of the children have had an ongoing interest in teeth and dental hygiene. The educators from the Toddler, Junior, Junior Pre and Preschool rooms have set up environments and experiences to further explore this interest. Today we had the lovely ladies (and tooth fairy) from Fresh Dental Care come into the centre to talk with the Junior Pre and Preschool children about how to care for their teeth and what happens when they visit the dentist. It is important to teach young children about dental hygiene to support building positive dental habits for life!
01.01.2022 One, two, three chefs in the kitchen The children in the Preschool room love to participate in cooking experiences with their educators, so it’s no surprise that they also love to pretend to cook in their own little kitchen. Cakes, pizza, fruit salad - what will they create next? Whenever children say Let’s Pretend a new landscape of possibilities for learning is revealed. When children pretend they try on new feelings, roles and ideas. They stretch their minds along with their imaginations - Curtis & Carter
