20.01.2022 We are lucky enough to have a fabulous team of educators, who are all dedicated and caring people. We are grateful to have them. Thank you to our educators for everything they do. Especially during the difficult times. They are amazing

19.01.2022 This year has not been easy, with so many restrictions put on all of our families and on our program at Indra. It was so wonderful to get back into our local parkland today! It was just a short excursion to practise leaving the kindergarten and talk about our safety rules. We also looked at textures and patterns in nature. Today almost felt like normal. It put a big smile on all of our faces! We are looking forward to more of the same next term

18.01.2022 Tragic news: Hello Indra community, We have had a lot of messages today. The young child who was tragically killed in last nights storm is not a child who attended Indra. ... The staff and community at Indra have been deeply moved by this tragic accident. On behalf of the staff and the committee of management, we send our heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of this beautiful young boy. Give your young ones an extra cuddle today

16.01.2022 Helping Kids Return to School As kids begin returning to school, many may be feeling anxious about leaving their carers, going outside where germs may be lurk...ing, reuniting with friends, and even wondering if friendship groups will still exist. Some kids may be super happy about going back to school and yet, in time, the return may not live up to their expectations. Once in the classroom, some kids will find it hard to concentrate on academic studies and may find it hard to focus on day-to-day learning of maths and spelling, for example. Times are turbulent for us and they are turbulent for kids. Here are 5 points as adults we need to be aware of to help our kids navigate these unprecedented times. 1. The world may be a lot scarier for kids right now than it used to be, so check in with your kids daily. Give them the tools to talk about their feelings (www.e2epublishing.info/free-resources#SocialEmotional) and give them the time and space to express these feelings. 2. Lower your expectations of kids bouncing back. It may take some time for them to adapt to the new normal. Be patient, kind and understanding. And give them the time to work through the past few months where life was unsettled, and to be honest, quite scary. 3. Do some work on Growth Mindset where you and your child can explore these ideas of trying, persistence and resilience (see www.e2epublishing.info/free-resources#SocialEmotional) 4. Take time out every day to do some mindfulness such as deep breathing, yoga and gratefulness (see Grateful Journal www.e2epublishing.info/free-resources#SocialEmotional) Maybe you could do this as a class or as a family. 5. Explore nature and walking/riding trails every chance you get! Spending time in nature is very grounding and will help everyones anxiety.
