25.01.2022 Sadly this event has been postponed due to poor weather forecast. Follow Nat Cook MP for updates.

24.01.2022 If you do not need to leave the home, please keep your children home with you in a safe environment.

23.01.2022 Continued planning from our snail observations over recent weeks.....

23.01.2022 2020 has been the year from hell for FDC Educators so it is really nice to be appreciated today. Thank you for my beautiful flowers

23.01.2022 If we focus on the positive things, we promote better behaviours.

21.01.2022 As an extension to yesterdays snail find, we went on a hunt through the garden today. We found baby snails and caterpillars eating Michelles mint and we even found two cocoons. We discussed the "Very Hungry Caterpillar" story using picture cards that matched our find.

21.01.2022 Over recent weeks we have observed slugs n snails in the garden and today we made our own using playdough and shells. A great follow up and discussion builder to previous experiences

20.01.2022 As part of our fortnightly program we are learning about social rules for children. This involves Waiting, Taking Turns, Sharing, Negotiating, Listening and Cooperating. It is important for children to cooperate in play and sometimes this means we get frustrated. By learning to wait and take turns, children also learn to regulate their behavior. Some simple ways you can help your child is by:... *encourage them to WAIT if you are doing things. Acknowledge them and tell them you will help them when you are finished. *encourage your child to take turns with a sibling or friend. *Remind children that listening is important so role model good listening when they are talking to you. *Praise your child when they are doing any of these actions eg "Ï like the way you were able to help me put the toys away with me today" *Negotiate terms like "If you help me put away the blocks I will read you a story" *Dont give in!!! Children will push boundaries. This is normal behavior, but the adult needs to remain in control and encourage the child to follow directions. If you constantly give in, a child will learn to manipulate the situation and this will cause issues as they get older. I can be quite firm in the fdc environment and I very rarely give in. Children are encouraged in a positive way and consistency is key. Children will participate in routines eg packing up if I role model and make it a fun experience. Try some of these things at home and see if you notice a difference. Good Luck

19.01.2022 Using various songs at pack up time encourages participation from children

19.01.2022 Mindfulness for children can be beneficial in setting coping skills as they get older. Mindfulness for Parents can allow calm during frustrating times. This is a great read with great ideas.

19.01.2022 Nature provides a perfect canvas for painting a masterpiece. This week we have been decorating bark and pinecones as part of our Christmas activities #fdcideas

18.01.2022 Some kids just love showing off their creations. Young T requested some photos of his "castle tower'. How great are these photos. Such a great smile

18.01.2022 What does a didgeridoo do? It makes music of course! Today we painted our indigenous instrument ready for "playing"

18.01.2022 Today we were following the arrows to encourage taking turns and waiting. The children worked out that the arrows stuck on the window which created a spontanious activity and discussion about colours.

17.01.2022 A beautiful day out in our community exploring, building, climbing, digging, playing and learning.

15.01.2022 Spring is Here Action Song we have been practising this last week.

15.01.2022 It is proven that being outdoors and in nature is good for us. It makes us happier, healthier, more resilient and more caring. In recent decades, childhood has changed. Kids have moved indoors as screens have replaced outdoor play. Here at lotsafun2bwith fdc I encourage outdoor play all year, rain or shine.... Today as rain pelted down outside, we explored under the verandah and found a snail. The children were fascinated as we discussed how they eat, move and change shape. #natureplay #fdcideas #ilovefdc

14.01.2022 My name starts with ..... And I am ... years old. Using letter and number magnets on various metal materials gives children a sense of identity.

14.01.2022 Physical activity is important everyday. With the sun shining down brightly we were able to get up in the excursion zone.

14.01.2022 Today the children chose their two favourite colours to paint a picture on black and white card. Some beautiful creations were made.

13.01.2022 This is an easy, cheap and fun sensory experience for children which will develop fine motor skills.

13.01.2022 Meal times are a part of our daily routine but are also a pleasant social experience that promote social interaction, conversation, promotion of healthy eating but most of all FUN. Today we joked and laughed about silly things and made up names for our food with a focus on the letters eg Silly Sandwhich and Fun Fritz. How do you make your meal times an experience?

11.01.2022 Its easy to get caught up in the negativity and forget about all the wonderful things we can still do at home with out families.

11.01.2022 CHILDREN’S WEEK 24 OCTOBER - 1 NOVEMBER 2020 Children’s Week is a national celebration of children’s rights, talents and citizenship held on the fourth Wednesday of October in Australia to coincide with Universal Children’s Day. Each year the theme of Children’s Week highlights a particular Children’s Right.... The Theme for 2020 is Article 15 ‘Children have the right to meet together and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights. This includes being free to: meet individual people and groups of friends set up an organisation join an organisation take part in peaceful protest come together to discuss the issues that affect their lives. Children’s Week 2020 is a wonderful opportunity to promote the rights of children and young people, and to celebrate their capacity to actively contribute to the world around them.

09.01.2022 Early childhood educators day is today. A big shout out to all of the fantastic family day care educators who dedicate their time to educating young children and supporting families.

09.01.2022 My "babies" are a bit old but I have tried to teach them to be enclusive and accepting.

09.01.2022 Today is a reminder to check in and ask someone RUOK? People in crisis need empathy, compassion and understanding without judgement so if you are going to ask the question, be willing to stay and listen. Often we jump in and offer resolutions but if we sit back and LISTEN and really hear what the person has to say, they will feel heard and supported. ... Remember that even your strong friends may need support too. #ruokday2020

09.01.2022 Good Mental Wellbeing starts at a young age. An important start is building resilience and helping children cope with all the things life throws at us. Here are some tips.

08.01.2022 Slug Vs Snail ? One carries his house on his back! Today while exploring the excursion zone we found slugs and snails (no puppy dog tails) and discussed what is different about them. We found that they are very slimy and feel cold.

05.01.2022 BE WARNED. CHICKEN POX OUTBREAK IN SA.

04.01.2022 Confidence, self criticism and body issues begin at a young age and as adults, we influence our children by what we say around them. Here at LotsaFun2BWith FDC I encourage positive body image in all shapes and sizes. With discussion about our bodies and intentional teaching practices, we focus on accepting all people no matter what they look like. What you say about people in front of your child will guide their beliefs for life so be careful how you react to people in public.... You dont know their story and making assumptions is never a good outcome. Promote healthy choices and physical activity as often as you can but never criticise different body shapes. #loveyourbody

03.01.2022 What happens if you mix black and white? You make grey!

02.01.2022 Using our fine and gross motor skills to draw with chalk on the brick wall.

02.01.2022 Here at LotsaFun2BWith FDC I rotate my toy shelves on a fortnighly basis to allow the children variety. Some basic favourites may stay a little longer if the children use them alot but I keep the shelf toys to a minimum and change planned activites several times throughout the day.

02.01.2022 Our focus for the current fortnight is SPRING and we have been engaged in various activities that create discussion about our seasons and what happens in those seasons. EG the sun starts to shine more and we get less rain; the flowers start to come out in our garden and bugs/butterflies can be found if we look hard enough. #fdcideas #ilovefdc
