22.01.2022 Bush Kindy Monday 08/03/2021 Today the Kindergarten engaged in a new experience for Kids Patrol Oakey Academy. We engaged in authentic way to engage with nature and for the Kindergarten children to challenge themselves. It allows for unequalled rich and varied exploration of self directed play experiences, and always impresses apon us the amazing skills that our children carry with in them. we embarked on a journey together, a bush walk along Oakey Creek to the Jarrowair Hos...t or Giver circle. The children showed their respect for the traditional land owners, with communicating their Acknowledgment of Country together as one. We then went on a nature walk to find natural pieces to add to our play dough. Why Bush Kinder? A bush kinder provides children with a welcome change from familiar surroundings, a freedom to use imaginations and bodies in new and challenging ways and an opportunity to connect in meaningful ways to local natural ecology, indigenous culture and seasonal changes. To interact with wild nature is a very different experience than playing within a constructed learning environment, even one that offers diverse play equipment and resources to challenge children’s thinking, creativity and development.

22.01.2022 Community shout out! Thanks to the wonderful staff at The Oakey Pharmacy for your kind donations for our role play of doctors surgery.

22.01.2022 Remembrance Day in Australia is dedicated to the Australians who died as a result of war, particularly from World War I onwards, today Kindy dedicated a minute silence at 11am to those who fought to protect our nation.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.

22.01.2022 What a great start to our June/July vacation care program. We start our adventures off with Monday Marble Racing and Milkshake Making.

All children enjoyed themselves with small group interactions working together. Today for Tuesday is Treasure Hunt and Pirate Day, watch this space for more vacation care photos throughout our fun filled adventures.
