25.01.2022 The acronym NAIDOC stands for National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee. NAIDOC Week celebrates the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Here at Kids Capers Wamuran we value the importance of showing respect to the traditional owners on the land which we meet, learn and play. This week has seen us engaging in face painting and rock painting with indigenous symbols, doing puzzles to make up the Aboriginal and Torr...e Strait Islander flags, dot painting and much more. Today we had the Aunties and Uncles from the Waminda Centre join us for our morning play time. They went to each of the rooms to participate in the activities that the Educators had organised for the children. A child turned to an Aunties and said your like our grandma. It was a sweet moment

The children also used the buckets filled with water to tip on each other. After the water fun, we put on a sausage sizzle for all of the children to enjoy.

Water play gives many opportunities to develop gross and fine motor skills across all of the the age groups.

12.01.2022 What a way to end the week then with a crazy hair day. The pre-kindy and kindy educators and teachers used this opportunity to organise activities based around self portraits including what kind of crazy hair they like. A self portrait gives children the time to study their eyes, nose, mouth and the rest of their face and body, and to work out how it all fits together

08.01.2022 How many ways do you think you can use yogurt lids? To continue on with recycling week, today the children used the yoghurt lids to create with the paint while the children in the sugar glider room designed lovely necklaces. As young children use recyclable objects in different ways, it triggers their imaginative play as well as building creativity and problem solving skills. Children also learn about their own environment as they manipulate different materials in addition to... enjoying the process of creating or building things. I wonder what the children will use for tomorrow's recycling activity?

Today our educational leaders met to share each Centre's journey towards reconciliation, sharing ideas to further empower our educators to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspective in all aspect of the program.

The children have many discussions about washing their hands and the steps on how to properly wash all of the germs away. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important steps we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others. Many diseases and conditions are spread by not washing hands with soap and clean, running water.
