20.01.2022 Helping our friends to swing! #koolykindy #kindy #kindergarten #helpingfriends #swingsareawesome #ladygowrieqld

20.01.2022 Children need lots of unstructured #play time to benefit their developing #brains, and they tend to have a natural awareness of what they need to naturally grow... up healthy and strong. Every child develops in a particular pattern. For example, they have to be able to sit up by themselves before they can crawl and eventually walk. And this is part of why a child naturally progresses to loving swinging sensations when they are in the midst of developing coordinated motor movements. Their sensory system is ready to organise and interpret moving information, and swinging is a fun way to do that. The #proprioceptive system, located within muscles and joints, provides a child with a sense of body awareness and also detects force and pressure while they swing. Meanwhile, their developing #vestibular system, located in the inner ear, detects movement and gravitational pull. The timely development of these senses can help a child learn to calm down if they are easily overwhelmed by sensory stimulation, or can help bring alertness to a child who needs sensory stimulation to facilitate attention and learning. The balance that feels so natural to an adult is a complex process where large groups of muscles work together to maintain postural control. It's very easy to forget how much we all loved swinging when we were little, or to minimise it as frivolous play without serious and necessary developmental benefits. If your child loves to swing, try to make some extra time for them to explore this super-activity. You will be helping their little brain grow in harmony with their body, and they will love you for it. #neurochild #childdevelopment #letthemplay

08.01.2022 Attention Kooly Community Please find below a message that was shared with the 2020 families this week from the wonderful Mrs Hancock announcing her retirement at the end of this year . While we are so happy for Mrs H that she will now have more time to do all of the things she loves and spend more time in her favourite place, its also a very sad time as its the end of an era for Kooly Kindy. Please keep your eyes on our page for information on celebrations to be held... next term. Dear Families, It is with VERY mixed emotions that I write this post. At 2020 years end I will be saying goodbye to Koolyangarra. This for me is like saying goodbye to a child who is leaving home but the other way around. It is me leaving my other home which has had an impact on my entire life. After a few decades spent teaching SOOOOO many children in the Gladstone community, it is now my time in the next chapter of my lifes journey. I know for a while it is going to be difficult as I am going to miss the centre HUGELY, the staff, the families & the children but I wont disappear altogether as I have a grandson attending next year. I also know that Koolyangarra will continue to be a wonderful educational centre continuing to influence the lives of the children & the families who attend. As the saying goes ONCE A KOOLY FAMILY ALWAYS A KOOLY FAMILY!!!! Love to all Mrs Hancock.

08.01.2022 A huge thank you to Homeground Gladstone for donating 2 tickets in a corporate box to see Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash! Our major raffle is $2 a ticket - gotta be in it to win it!
