23.01.2022 It's Children's Week: the perfect time to think about how we can better 'tune in' to the children around us. Check out these simple tips for parents and carers, and find out how you can be part of Children's Week at www.napcan.org.au/childrensweek/

23.01.2022 I have done a few of these in my time!

21.01.2022 Do you have any of these growing at home? We must plant some more at kindy!

21.01.2022 Playgroup is ON tomorrow!!! Come and let your child experience our amazing outdoor space in a casual atmosphere. 9am to 11am We'd love to see you there!!

21.01.2022 How do you (gently) get your child to brush their teeth? Have a routine, find a toothpaste flavour they like, sing a song or make it a game while they brush, read books about the importance of toothbrushing and keep trying!

20.01.2022 Mark it in your calendar! Our next Pre-Prep Experience Day - Tuesday 13 November. Parent information session on the importance of early numeracy and a tour of t...he classrooms and facilities. Enrolment forms can be returned to the Office so class preparations can be made for 2019. If you have missed out on an enrolment goodie bag, more are available at the Office. We can't wait to see you all again! See more

18.01.2022 Research shows that the different ways parents read stories (like tuning in to a child's interests or asking questions) can help their development even more.

17.01.2022 Oh dear! Did you see the forecast temperature for tomorrow!? 42 degrees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It's going to be sweltering! We've got a slip and slide planned for tomorrow morning, so your child is welcome to wear their togs (still must have sunsafe shirt and hat). PLEASE ENSURE YOUR CHILD HAS SPARE CLOTHES.... Stay safe and hydrated tomorrow, and don't forget to look after your pets and neighbours.

16.01.2022 COLOURS AND EMOTIONS EXPLORING PICASSO, VAN GOUGH AND DINE This week at kindy we looked deeper into colour theory by exploring how colours make us feel.... We began by talking about what feelings we feel when we think of a certain colour. When you think about blue, how do you feel? (Check out the pics for some of the children's responses). I then introduced some oil paintings by famous artists, including Picasso and Van Gough. We looked at both the subject in the painting and the colours that the artist used. I asked the children, "How do you feel when you look at this painting?" The children's responses were all very similar and matched the artist's intentions for painting in those colours. So, we discussed the artist's intentions and how our feelings can be affected by colours. We actually had such a great discussion about this that we were late for lunch! I think it's important that we acknowledge children's ability to deeply explore and make connections to their world and sense of self. These discussions are intended to instill a sense of wonder and curiosity about all the things around them. This goes beyond simply identifying names of colours. Going forward, we will be encouraging the children to paint their emotions and use colours to match their feelings. They have the ability to mix and create their own colours now in our art studio, so it is exciting to think about what they're going to create. Tune in this week for updates! Sara

16.01.2022 Play..... so important!

15.01.2022 FAMILY INFORMATION SESSION For all enrolled families for 2019 AND New Enrolments!... Our information session is coming up!!!! We'd love to see you there.

15.01.2022 We all need to do our bit! Refuse plastic first.... reduce the amount you use, reuse/repurpose the stuff that you do have.... recycle last!

15.01.2022 HAPPY NATIONAL RECYCLING WEEK! Tomorrow we'll be looking at what recycling means and how we recycle at kindy. We'll look at the red and yellow bins and what should and shouldn't go in them.... We'll also look at our lunch boxes and see if there's any way to reduce the amount of plastic we use. Did you know that recycling is just one way to reduce waste? This is an interesting visual to remind us that we should firstly be reducing how much we actually consume in the first place! Sara

13.01.2022 ***INFORMATION SESSION TOMORROW*** Come along and find out about kindy for 2019. New enrolments welcome!

13.01.2022 Seeing parents manage their own emotions, like anger and sadness, can help children learn how to manage their own. Why? Because children and babies are very go...od at seeing through parents who try to hide emotions and the more parents talked about their emotions, the better their children managed them. See more

12.01.2022 Shout out to the students, and Paul and Phil from Gilroy Santa Maria College for their contribution to our sensory pathway!
