25.01.2022 Easter Activities We had so much fun at participating in the Easter egg hunting both indoor and outdoor. The children covered their eyes and did not peek as we hid the Easter eggs. The eggs were hidden around in the indoor area and once they have collected all the eggs, we counted them together. They even shared their eggs with their friends! Great job everyone Futhermore, we went outdoors together and they all waited so patiently as the eggs were placed nearby the o...utdoor toys on the grass area. All of them did a fantastic job at listening & locating every single one of the eggs. We identified the colours, shapes, number of eggs, patterns as part of the learning journey. The children also decorated their fluffy bunnies. They were expressing their creativity through play based learning. Additionally, they were developing their fine motor skills, colour recognition, social skills throughout the activity. The children enjoyed listening and reading the Easter books Hope you all have a lovely and safe Easter!

The children learnt to make truffle that day which consists of banana , cake , peach , strawberry , apricot and yoghurt. They were able to follow the instructions step by step, sang songs in between and also learnt where and how the fruits are produced in a fun way! Furthermore, they were excited to be able to gently pat on some of the farm animals such as the sheeps, cow, chicken, llama and others too. The sheep is so soft G said as she patted on the sheep gently. Yes, soft A replied and gave the sheep a gentle pat as well. Moo! The girls said loudly and a few seconds later, the cow Moo’d back at them Off they went hopping on the dinosaur’s back and couldn’t contain their excitement as they saw the huge egg RAWWRRRR!

It was fun to watch and had a laugh together I think they came out creative and no wonder they were thrilled to show it to their peers, poppo and to myself!

16.01.2022 Happy Valentine’s Day It took us some practice to stand up straight and stretch our arms up high for the activity. It was a great yoga exercise for the children in the morning. Afterwards, we had a few attempts in creating the best capture moments for the project. They all created wonderful results All the children had demonstrated great listening skills and were excited to paint their love hearts on top of their image. The children were telling their friends... I love mummy and daddy. They expressed their love towards their parents and friends throughout the activity. There’s also compilation of other photos the children were practicing writing their name on the first day of kindy at school and Australian Day activities. We are all enjoying the sunshine during this summer season and having picnics outside. They also remember to keep hydrated and reminded their friends to drink lots of water throughout the day too.

16.01.2022 Happy Chinese New Year ( Gong Xi Fa Cai ) During Chinese New Year we wish others by saying Gong Xi Fa Cai, which translates to as Wishing you to be prosperous in the coming year and May you attain greater wealth. ... We have been blessed to be able to make our very own Chinese Dragon Lanterns this year as one of the parents has generously shared with the daycare children. It’s great to see how the children has shown enthusiasm during their participation in doing this activity as it is a little tricky! They have provided assistance to one another in the process. Furthermore, it was fantastic to see how their prior knowledge of learning the Chinese New Year song from last year and was able to sing it along together with confidence without the teacher’s help

13.01.2022 Skittles Rainbow Science Experiment Skittles are particularly good for experiment because they are colourful and dissolve even faster than other candies. When placed in a shallow pan of water, the dye quickly dissolves and starts to absorb into the water, making a colorful rainbow. The children learned a bit more about dissolving, absorption, and how colours mix.... During the activity, the children were amazed and said: Wow, it’s a rainbow Look, I can see a rainbow Amazing!

12.01.2022 Hand washing experiment In the midst of these times, we’ve been maintaining our hygiene more than before. The children washes their hands once they join us, the usual before and after meal times, after going to the toilet, before home time. They were also reminded to cover their mouth if they needed to cough or sneeze. We have also read Handy the Octopus Saves The Day to support this learning. We did an experiment with the children to demonstrate the importance of... washing their hands with soap. Throughout the experiment, we discussed the process of it and to enlighten the children’s understanding. The children have washed their hands prior to commence the experiment. I poured out a bowl of water and added pepper, the children then dipped in their fingers having washed their hands with just water and the pepper remained in the same place. Afterwards, they then added soap to their fingers and tried again, this time the pepper (which represents the germs) moved away immediately. Such a simple but effective demonstration of how hand washing with soap helps to get rid of germs!

11.01.2022 14 more sleeps till Christmas Children have been excited to create their very own Christmas tree this time round. They’ve brilliantly constructed it with recycled materials. It’s a great way to encourage their creativity. Throughout the ongoing project, there were endless support from one another, helping & continuously provided each other with positive feedback. Not only that, they also encountered some issues which they managed to fix it in the end. E.g. A few of the b...ase parts required more to make it stand up taller. Hence, the children decided to add some more. They were developing their problem solving skills. Well done! Wow, look at yours G! A said with excitement. Yours look good too A! G praised A’s beautiful work Thank you for the lovely learning experiences. Very impressed with the outcome! Have a great weekend all

04.01.2022 Another year has passed & I want to express my gratitude for the evaluation from the City of Melville. Children's health and hygiene is my day care's number one priority. By doing so, I keep my day care clean by regular disinfecting and daily cleaning. More importantly the kitchen side of it and how the food (morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea) is prepared & served fresh.

02.01.2022 St Patrick’s Day & Harmony Day The children had fun learning about the two worldwide events that had occurred. They have showed enthusiasm towards the activities and great listening skills. Saint Patrick's Day is a big party for everything to do with the country, Ireland - it's people, art, religion and all the things Irish people like to do. According to St. Patrick's Day lore, St. Patrick used the leaves of a shamrock as a metaphor for the holy trinity. We decorated... our St Patrick’s hat and practice their cutting skills by cutting it out. Then the children put it on their head. Harmony Day is a day to celebrate our culturally diverse society. The children have traced over their hands on their individual art work to demonstate that we all belong. Afterwards, the children painted their hand prints with puffy paint. We also read books regarding Harmony Day to support this learning opportunity. All the children participated in the local library’s Harmony Day poster competition. We are still waiting to hear back from them once they are running again regarding the participation certificate and gift for every child that has submitted their beautiful artwork!

02.01.2022 L I B R A R Y Visiting the local library provides several benefits for children. They are such as:- Providing a sense of community... Encourage a lifetime of learning Teaches responsibility and accountability An equal access to resources, such as computer to do further research / extending their learning on books We all enjoyed listening to the story time session. The children had a great time singing songs too, in particular the Hokey Pokey song Extending upon their story time session learning at the library, they did a bear activity. It encourages the children to develop their fine motor skills such as cutting with scissors , gluing, creativity, social skills and spatial awareness.

01.01.2022 Naidoc Week Exploring Aboriginal storytelling symbols through sensory play (sand drawing) I asked the children what they were drawing. Here’s just a few of what they have drawn. A was drawing mountains... G was drawing possum tracks Indigenous Art (on a Kangaroo ) Dot Painting - Aboriginal Dot Paintings are created by making several small dots of paint to create an entire piece of art whether it depicts an image or a pattern. We extended the idea by using the flag colours of black, red and yellow paints to create their own Boomerang. Black for people, red for the earth, yellow for the sun. We listened to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Noongar Language ‘Djinda Djinda Kanangoor’. Furthermore, the children learned a new song Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in Noongar Language ‘Kaart, Djerdim, Boonijt, Djena‘.

01.01.2022 Happy New Year We welcomed 2021 with fireworks artwork on dark (night) and bright (day) backgrounds.
