25.01.2022 School Holidays Another school holiday come and gone so fast! With trips to the fire station, tech fest, apple picking, wildlife park, zoo and many more it certainly been full of learning and (more importantly) fun

24.01.2022 Almost Easter Today we did the first of our Easter crafts using good old potato stamping. Some craft ideas never get old. The children used the potato stamps in different ways, some painting the paint on, some dipping in the paint and some painting the top of the stamper We also remembered the time we hatched eggs last year and talked about the baby chicks ... Some of our Little Friends extended the craft by finger and handprint painting. See more

23.01.2022 Dreamtime Storytime A fascinating morning at the Fremantle Art Center (with our friends Little Sparrows!) listening to Noongar Elder Betty as she lead a storytime session about native animals. She bought different animal pelts and traditional clothing for the children to touch and try on. After the session she invited us to share a dish of kangaroo tail together. Not all the children were brave enough to try it but those that did loved it!... We also had fun crunching and swirling in the crispy leaves before the session See more

20.01.2022 National Simultaneous Story Time We had a wonderful day yesterday celebrating with the rest of the country and reading Macca The Alpaca. We attended our local library in the morning and then had our own reading in the afternoon, pairing littles with schoolies to make our very own Maccas

20.01.2022 Such Excitement!! One of the best things is watching a child (or anyone) finally achieve something they have been trying so hard at! One of the many reasons I love my job!

16.01.2022 Tree Day A beautiful morning with Sarah's Tiny Tigers and Little Sparrows Family Daycare at Baldivis Children's Forest! The children were given the freedom to explore a new area of the forest. They found a fallen tree that they enjoyed climbing and discovered a cubby that sparked their imaginations. ... We planted seeds ready to grow and observe for ‘tree day’ on Sunday 28th July, once these seeds have sprouted we look forward to sharing these with our families and community to plant the native plants

15.01.2022 Djeran Today the children learnt about the season of Djeran, using information from the Wadandi Cultural Custodian Iszaac Webb. The younger children made art using the colours of Djeran and natural found resources (sand/soil and leaves) and the older children researched some traditional foods and plants available at this time of year using the ipad.

15.01.2022 Fine motor skills Working out our fingers on this rainy morning by playing with pegboards, practicing our colours, patterns and imaginations

14.01.2022 OK...so this just made my week! Thankyou

12.01.2022 NeeNaw NeeNaw Fabulous (and exhausting!) trip to Perth today to the Fire Engine Museum with Little Sparrows. The children were so excited to play dress ups and pretend with a REAL fire engine and were so engaged with the other simulations and activities. Even I learnt a few things!

12.01.2022 Anzac Day Last week we spent time talking about our soldiers that fought, and still fight, for our freedom. The children enjoyed painting the poppies and I arranged them, and we took some time to go and say thankyou to the people who protect us.

11.01.2022 We are looking for a new friend to join us on our Thursday adventures! Call or message to find out more!

10.01.2022 Letter recognition Today we combined forces with Emers Family Daycare to have a messy play day with a focus on letter recognition. We extended our learning after lunch with alphabet, colour and shape puzzles.

09.01.2022 Inclusion There are so many different types of families. This week we have looked at who is in our family and how our families are similar and different. It is important that all children feel respected and included, regardless of their family type. Love is love

09.01.2022 Muddy Puddles This morning we jumped in muddy puddles with the Save the Children foundation. The children got to explore different textures and see how big they could make their splashes. We also made muddy footprints, explored muddy ooblick and coloured in Peppa Pig pages. Thanks to Sarahs Tiny Tigers for organising and Little Sparrows Family Daycare for the facepaints! Such a fun event

09.01.2022 Dancing Time Huge thankyou to Miss Cassie who came to Little Friends Family Daycare last week to teach us some awesome dance moves!

08.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day Some cute little gifts went home this week. I hope all you lovely mamas are enjoying your day. In the words of my daughter "I wish you cud do wat ever you want forever and wen ever you want espeshly on mothers day"

07.01.2022 Birthday Party What a great way to start back from holiday with some birthday party fun! Celebrating special events give our children a sense of belonging and community and help to strengthen friendships and interactions. Happy birthday Master W, so happy to spend your special day with you!

07.01.2022 Were going to the zoo, zoo, zoo How about you, you, you? Weve had two wonderful trips to the zoo recently! I find each time we go we find new things to love The painted dog puppies, along with the reptile talk / snake handling (for those brave enough!) were definatly todays highlights.... Repeated visits allow the children to feel really comfortable somewhere. They also mean we dont have to rush and can really enjoy each moment. It also helps to cement knowledge through repeated exposure and encouraging interests. Its so wonderful when they tell you something they learn on their last visit

06.01.2022 Ice play Today we revisited an activity that we enjoyed over Easter with our Little Friends. Melting our ice eggs to find the prizes inside provides a sensory experience, while also providing reward for patience and determination. They experimented with warm water and salt, to see the different effects, introducing simple science

01.01.2022 Spiders This morning we had our garden sprayed to keep us safe from spiders (by the awesome folks at EcoPest WA) We were fascinated watching it and then read some spider books and made some spider pictures. We also enjoyed pretending to be spiders and creeping across the floor!
