21.01.2022 Our finale for NAIDOC week was the completion of our two collaborative canvases that showcased our acknowledgement and recognition of this weeks theme Always Was, Always Will Be. We are so grateful that we have such a talented team of early childhood specialists on board at Little Bunyas. This activity was facilitated by one of our team that has an interest in Indigenous art; she worked with the children to design and plan out the illustrations and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. What a special keepsake from our week! #naidocweek2020 #collaborativeart #culturalheritage #diversity #respect #childrenarecapableandconfidentlearners #childrenarecreative #

21.01.2022 Our youngest nature warriors were hard at work this week refreshing our worm farm as we head into summer.. did u know that the majority of our food waste is given to our worms, placed in our compost or sent home to community families via our ‘chook’ buckets? A large component of our sustainability policy is to reduce our waste footprint; teaching these important concepts to our children is also included in our day to day actions in relation to the plan. Even our younger litt...le Bunya children enjoy feeding our worms and contributing to looking after our planet. Caring for our worm farm fosters a sense of responsibility as children learn about the interconnectedness of living things- how our direct actions leave a ‘footprint’ on the world. #wormfarms #childrenlovegardening #natureplay #sustainability #sustainabilitymatters #beingbelongingbecoming #centreofexcellence #exceedingthestandard #reducingwaste See more

We had such a beautiful morning welcoming our grandparents and special friends into our centre for morning tea... the wonderful relationships that were clearly visible this morning was so heart warming.. there were smiles from ear to ear when the children saw their special person walk through the door and like always, our Bunyas community supported our event and made our morning a memorable one.. so thank you! #grandparentsday2020 #grandparentsarethebest #exceedingthestandard #centreofexcellence

18.01.2022 Celebrating and recognising NAIDOC week is always a highlight of our year... the week has started well with such a diverse range of age appropriate learning experiences that allow large and small group contributions as well as opportunity for conversation and togetherness. Always Was, Always Will Be is the theme for 2021... Always Was, Always Will Be recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years. It also signifies tha...t we are all spiritually and culturally connected to this country in many ways. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were Australia’s first explorers, first navigators, first engineers, first farmers, first botanists, first scientists, first diplomats, first astronomers and first artists. We are raising the next generation of engineers, farmers, botanists, scientists, diplomats, astronomers and artists... and we recognise this and take our role with this influence seriously.. We are also excited to share a wonderful collaborative art project that is currently underway.. stay tuned as we will share later in the week.... #naidocweek #naidoc2020 #culturalsensitivity #beingbelongingbecoming #atsi #centreofexcellence #boutiqueearlylearning #exceedingthestandard See more

16.01.2022 Reggio Emilia explores the creativity that lies within each and every child as a unique individual; promoting awareness of their own decisions to learn. There were so many creative opportunities with our children this morning; painting, natural clay sculptures and paper mache building of a spaceship!! All wonderfully diverse but all explicitly linked to the children’s interests and ongoing projects. We support and guide the children’s creative expression and allow them to direct the activity ... we believe strongly in process over product; more learning occurs during the actual creation rather than focusing on a ‘product’ being produced at the end. #reggioinspired #reggioemiliaapproach #childrenarecapable #childrenarecreative #natureplay #clayart #centreofexcellence #boutiqueearlylearning

14.01.2022 As you all know, we are huge fans of Maggie Dent here at Bunyas - she has a great podcast on Spotify- jump on and follow if you are a podcast fan.. we talk often about how children can be 'roosters and lambs'; its a great way to understand your child and what they need. We often get comments from families that their children's temperaments are so different from each other.. some great tips in here to support your parenting.

11.01.2022 Out this morning and I saw so many prams covered tightly to protect the baby from the sun (great idea), yet the way the muslin covers were attached to the pram, the air circulation for the bub inside would have been minimal. With the hot weather now upon us, it is a timely reminder to ensure your baby has sufficient airflow inside the pram and to be aware that the temperature inside the pram will be significantly higher than outside the pram. Please ensure that you are regularly checking your baby, opening the back panels to allow sufficient airflow, seeking shade, and ensuring that you are only using the dedicated accessories that allow for correct ventilation - not pegged wraps or sheets that prohibit airflow. Great reminder shared from Parents 2 B Facebook page - share with your fellow new mums!

10.01.2022 Our December Playgroup is now up and ready for registrations, if you have family, friends, neighbours or anyone who you know would love a quality playgroup facilitated by early childhood specialists, please let them know about us. Bookings are essential and we appreciate the share.

07.01.2022 Final chance to wear your footy colours to Kindy - last game of the year - last chance to wear the red or blue.. make it count!

03.01.2022 Today our beautiful babies ventured outside and collected a wide range of natural materials from our bamboo garden and used them in their clay experience. Clay is such a beneficial tool for our babies; it develops those fine motor muscles needed for hand eye coordination as they push, pull and pat the clay. Pinching and squeezing is also important as they add detail to their objects. Clay also gives them the opportunity to be creative and learn about textures, how things feel, the relationship between textures and natural items and to just be together as a group and have fun! #clayart #natureplay #babiesarecapable #childrenarecompetentandcapable #reggioinspired #reggioemiliaapproach #exceedingthestandard #boutiqueearlylearning #centreofexcellence

02.01.2022 Diwali day was recognised today with a diverse range of activities introduced to the children to celebrate it. Candle tea light holders and stunning fireworks paintings were just some of the creative ways our children signified the event. Diwali is the five day Festival of Lights that often coincides with their new year and harvest. It signifies new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil; light over darkness... #diwali2020 #childrenarecompetentandcapable #childrenarecreative
