24.01.2022 The Prekinder children have ventured out on a walking excursion around Blueridge park. This has allowed the children to learn about road safety and being part of the community. The children point out familiar landmarks (Bunnings) and share their experiences with going to Bunnings with the families. They were even lucky enough to see the garbage truck and got a wave from the man inside the truck.

21.01.2022 Cooking with Lily The junior children have been talking with our cook Lily and showing an interest in making their own food. With the help of Lily the children measured out the ingredients and then mixed it all together.

20.01.2022 We have been exploring different artworks that we have noticed in our environment. We tried to mimic some of the patterns we found on our own rocks we gathered from the garden. We then extended this learning by looking at aboriginal symbols and what they represent.

17.01.2022 Water painting- The Juniors were provided with paintbrushes and a bucket of water to create their own artworks on the concrete. The children all used different methods when creating their artwork, some used the paintbrushes and other dipped their fingers into the water instead. The children used their imagination to create dinosaurs, monsters and trucks! This experience allows the children to become aware of fairness, as they needed to share the paintbrushes with their friend’s who hadn’t had a turn. It also encourages children to use their reflective thinking to consider why their paintings were fading away after they had created them.

16.01.2022 Fire drill practice Today we practiced an on-site evacuation. The children calmly moved through the yards to an evacuation point. These are important to practise so in a real situation we can be prepared and remain calm.
