24.01.2022 Dont forget to take some worm juice for your plants and garden when you pick up your children. Our worms have been very busy creating this natural plant fertiliser and we are so excited to share it with our wonderful families

24.01.2022 We have been continuing on with counting in the toddlers room today with some ladybug painting. The children used theirs finger to dot on the spots for their ladybugs, counting each spot as they went. We have seen a huge improvement in the children's interest in counting over the past few weeks while it has been a focus in the room. Today we heard counting from 1-25, what a great effort guys! Don't forget to encourage this at home when going about your day to day activities.

23.01.2022 Today in the toddlers room we made our own moons!

23.01.2022 Like you, we know the early years of a child’s life are critical in building strong futures. Not everyone is aware of this which is why the Thrive by Five campaign has been launched.

To find out more about this initiative please visit thrivebyfive.org.au
