23.01.2022 This morning we harvested some more veggies from our garden. Mila, Anika, Gigi, Mira and Ermina had an idea to set up a veggie shop. Their play evolved and the veggie shop became a role play of mums and dads and sisters. We had a serious situation there of one of the baby sister being unwell. Witness our serious situation

21.01.2022 Preschool has celebrated NAIDOC week this week. We had group time discussions about the Indigenous Culture, we were amazed to research together and find out it is the oldest culture known to mankind. We have made our own story books and cards with the symbols. The children explained their stories. Most of them have water holes, meeting place, emu prints to explain their story. We made lemon myrtle damper for our snack this afternoon. The children were intrigued by the flavour... and smell of it. this is like mint- Levi. The theme for NAIDOC 2020 is Always Was, Always will be. To celebrate this we made painting with green- Representing the land, Black- representing the people, Blue- Represents the sea and white represents peace. We would like to thank Brooke from unders for bringing in beautiful Kangaroo Paw Plants for us. The preschool and prekindy dug the garden and helped plant the beautiful plants . Enjoy our different languages of appreciating the amazing vast Indigenous Culture. See more

20.01.2022 Pre kindy have painted logs black to open up conversation around NAIDOC week. We talked about how the black on the flag represents the Aboriginal people. Lucas painted with his hands and then made hand prints on the paper, Jay painted a leaf black and placed on the log. Dominic and Grace worked as a team to cover a log in black paint. Using aboriginal perspective in using what the land gives, to use in our play.

13.01.2022 What does literacy and numeracy learning look like within the prekindy environment? We focus on embedding literacy and numeracy within play for children to actively experiment, explore and discuss concepts in fun and enjoyable learning experiences. The children are building strong foundations to support literacy and numeracy learning for their present and future.

12.01.2022 This week in the Infant & Toddler room we have begun the propagation process using the seeds for our butterfly garden. The children used a range of different technologies to scoop up soil, put the seeds in & then water them. The children are active participants in caring for our outdoor environment on a daily basis. Over the coming weeks we will have discussions with the children about what we can see happening with our seeds, as we care for them and help them to grow. We are very excited to see what happens next!!

10.01.2022 The water is so cooling when it is hot. Today is scooping and pouring courtesy of Febrianna, a student in the prekindy room at the moment. So refreshing, It’s a turtle’ said Ava helping them build their hand eye coordination skills this then helps them become more confident with pouring their milk at snack time and scooping their lunches.

09.01.2022 Working as a team the pre kindy and preschool helped sweep some bark from our footpath and shovel it back into its rightful place. Together we help keep our garden tidy.

09.01.2022 Dear families, it is with great sadness that we have to cancel our Xmas Party for Thursday 3rd Dec. Due to the current COVID situation, there are limitations on the number of people that can be in a space. We will however still be having the party on the Thursday during the day, just with the children. The children decided a while ago that they wanted a 'Superhero Party' so we are still going to celebrate in a 'Superhero theme'. If your child already attends on Thursdays then please bring them dressed up in Superhero costumes on the 3rd Dec. Thank you, from the team at Lockleys.

04.01.2022 Preschool had a discussion of what they would like to change in their room. Ideas were flashing as we brainstormed. Thomas had an idea, we need a new painting in the quite corner. To implement it, we got a canvas and our little artists straight away set to work. Our proud piece of art is now a part of our reading corner
