25.01.2022 Head to Grill'd during September to support our Kindy in their Local Matters community programme. With every burger ordered, you'll receive a Local Matters token to drop into our Kindy's jar. At the end of September, $500 is split between the 3 charities/ groups ($300 for 1st, $100 for 2nd and 3rd). I'll be getting the Summer Sunset, what will you order?

25.01.2022 2020 Committee Christmas Party Thank you to all the amazing staff, committee and contractors who contributed so much of their time to the Kindy this year!

25.01.2022 This week the Kindy children are having interactive sessions with Ocean Life Education. They will observe a Baby Bamboo Shark and touch creatures such as Seastars, Tropical Sea Cucumber, Black Sea Cucumber and Sea Urchins. Through this visit the children are learning that it is up to all of us to look after our oceans and the creatures that live in them.

24.01.2022 Our Transition to Prep Program has begun! This week we visited the Kenmore State School tuckshop, prep classes, playground and library. Thank you, Kenmore State School, for making us feel welcome.

24.01.2022 This week is NAIDOC Week. Celebrations are usually held in July but this year they were postponed due to Covid 19. The aim of NAIDOC Week is to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. The week is a great opportunity to participate in a range of activities and to support your local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. https://www.naidoc.org.au/about/history

23.01.2022 Every child is unique!

23.01.2022 This is really helpful! Thank you Sensory Stories.

22.01.2022 Kevin, from the Evergreen Children's Theatre, took us on an underwater adventure to the 'Great Barrier Reef'. With his beautifully crafted puppets he kept the children truly engaged. Kevin presented knowledge of the reef and the importance of caring for this fragile environment in an age appropriate and educational way.

22.01.2022 Thank you, Mrs Hoek and Ms Anthony, from Chapel Hill State School, for coming to visit us at Kindy today and for reading the children stories about going to school.

21.01.2022 "Small world-play is a way of creating (and recreating) scenes and settings, both real-life and imaginary, in child-size proportions. Small world play allows children to explore and consolidate things they experience and learn in real life, and to see the world from the perspective of others. Doll's houses, play farms and other settings inspired by the real world are classic examples of small world toys. But children can just as easily make their own small worlds in places of their own devising; a shoe box, on a Lego base, under a table or in a quiet corner of a room. There are no rules." https://www.onehundredtoys.com/blo/the-100/small-world-play

20.01.2022 Some fun Christmas activities at Kindy this week. As we only have 2 weeks left of the Kindy year, our Christmas activities have begun!

19.01.2022 Today is National R U OK?Day If you feel like somethings not quite the same with someone you know theres something going on in their life or you notice a change in what theyre saying or doing - trust that gut instinct and take the time to ask them Are you OK? If someone says theyre not OK, make time to listen, encourage action and check in. That conversation could change, or even save, their life." Source: https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

19.01.2022 Caroline from Bread Tags for Wheelchairs came to collect our big box of bread tags today. Thank you to all the staff, families, friends and Chapel Hill SS tuck-shop for collecting these throughout the year. We will continue to take in bread tags next year so keep collecting!

18.01.2022 Have a great long weekend!

17.01.2022 Not quite chicks but this was still a very interesting watch.

17.01.2022 Theres always lots to see at the Mt Coot-Tha Botanic Gardens. If youre looking for a beautiful day out with the family during Spring, this is the way to go.

16.01.2022 Do you know that about 370 million indigenous people are living in 90 countries across the globe? These people are only 5% of the global population, but they account for 15% of the world's poorest people. The indigenous people speak about 7000 languages and represent 5000 different cultures. The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples seeks to protect these people's rights and prevent them from marginalization. That explains why the UN set aside August 9th every year as a day to honor these groups of people.

15.01.2022 Musical Hiking Stick - love this idea!

12.01.2022 At KDK we encourage children to take their shoes off, especially when outdoors. This is not only for better control when climbing, but we believe going barefoot has great benefits for them. This article explores these benefits further.
