20.01.2022 We collect our fruit scraps to feed our worms, in the inground compost.

20.01.2022 We would love to say a huge thank you to our parents. We have had some gorgeous babies join Deb & Jeanre in our babies room having been referred by existing parent. We really appreciate you sharing your experiences.

18.01.2022 City Centre's Experiment Time!!! This experiment shows how clouds hold invisible water vapors that turn into rain when the warm and cool air condenses the water vapors into rain. The shaving cream clouds represent the clouds and how they can hold the water vapors for so long, until the cloud becomes heavy and drops the water rain. Children responded really well to this experiment and demonstrated dispositions for learning such as excitement and enthusiasm as they watched the colored food dye slowly sink through the shaving foam into the water and swirl around.

18.01.2022 Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there !!!

16.01.2022 Pittsworth Centre: Today we did some flower paintings. This ties in with our emerging theme of looking at nature as the Possum children were interested in looking at a tiny little bird egg Miss Tyla had found yesterday. The Possum children did a wonderful job with using scissors to cut the flowers out of the bushes. We also added an additional learning element by counting how many flowers we collectively gathered. The Possum children selected the colours they wished to use: blue, red, purple, pink and yellow. Then they dabbed the flower into the paint and placed it on their paper creating an imprint of the flower on their pages. All of the children create beautiful works of art with their paintings!

14.01.2022 Every interaction with another person represents an opportunity to connect or disconnect. #Connections build positive #relationships, which are the foundation f...or all types of learning and growth, but particularly for social emotional #development. Irrespective of the situation or type of interaction, we can work on building connections by focusing on meeting what Dr. Gerald Newmark calls the 5 critical needs of children (and parents too)! They need to feel: - respected; - important; - accepted; included; and - secure. https://emotionallyhealthychildren.wordpress.com//do-you-/ #neurochild #humanity #collectiveindividualism

13.01.2022 Collecting the chicken eggs, never gets old. How many will there be tomorrow?

13.01.2022 Be a Sunsmart Role Model Parents and Educators can be powerful role models. When you use sun protection such as hats, shade, sunscreen and clothing, not only is it protecting you but it also means your children are more likely to use them too. Research shows that healthy habits learned in the younger years are more likely to continue than ones acquired in adulthood. A study also found that teenagers who used sunscreen generally had parents who insisted on sunscreen use when t...hose teenagers were children. https://www.sunsmart.com.au//p/how-to-be-a-sunsmart-family

11.01.2022 City Centre: From last week " Jeans for Genes Day 2020 This national event supports Children's Medical Research Institute and helps find cures for children's genetic diseases. Today children built a sense of belonging to groups and the community while engaging with people and processed materials as they acknowledged promoted Jeans for Genes day. Educator provided children with a pair of white jeans and children demonstrated dispositions for learning such as enthusiasm as they each got their hand painted and left their hand print on the jeans."

03.01.2022 City Centre: Extending on our National Science Week learning, today we created our very own volcano using sand, bi-carb soda, vinegar and food dye. Educator Siobhan constructed the volcano using the sand and created a small funnel in the sand. In the funnel, bi-carb and food dye was poured down the middle. We then poured vinegar into the funnel and observed the reaction that the ingredients created. "WOAH!" the children exclaimed excitedly. "Can you hear it fizzing" Educator Siobhan pointed out. Some of the children leaned forwards to explore the texture of the bubbles and sand and popped the bubbles with their fingers. "Look what happened to the sand!" Siobhan pointed out to the children. "Bubbles" Children replied. "The bubbles have made holes in the sand" Siobhan added to the conversation. Children loved this fun activity.

02.01.2022 Look what Grandad Noel made for our Gruffalo path at Kate's Place. Our Fox, Owl & Snake will be so scared!
