25.01.2022 Our Adventure today with our vacation care children. For their last day of school holidays we went to runaway bay beach and built some amazing sand castles, played on the playground, went down on the flying fox,and watched the pelicans. In the afternoon Miss Anna did our last class of Judo where we all learnt different techniques. What a great day we all had. Miss Julie, Miss Heidi and Miss Anna

25.01.2022 We had a special visit from a local author, Alicia Millier who has recently written a children's picture book about the recent bushfires in Australia. Alicia read her story to our Kindergarten children and asked them questions about her story and what they knew about bushfires. This was a wonderful experience for the children to discuss the events of the story and share their understanding with Alicia and their peers. Mummy, the bush is on fire! is available to purchase fo...r $20 per copy and is located in our foyer. The funds from each sale will go towards the Currumbin Rescue Wildlife Clinic and to the families of the volunteer firefighters who never came home. Thank you Alicia for sharing your book with our children and staff at Learning Avenues Childcare and Kindergarten and allowing us to be involved in helping highlight the impacts of bushfires in Australia.

24.01.2022 Our Fire Pit Adventure. What a great morning for our Junior 2, Senior Kindy and Vacation Care children to experience cooking fruit bread over the camp fire this morning. The last time the children had a camp fire they talked about safety and what food they could cook on the fire. Miss Rusi decided to give the children the experience of cooking fruit bread using large sticks to cook with. They all had a amazing time and said the bread was very yummy. Thank Miss Rusi for this wonderful morning.
