25.01.2022 In our Nido room we created bright colourful paintings on black paper. The children extended their fine motor and hand-eye coordination using cotton tips to distribute the paint.

23.01.2022 On Friday 23rd October 2020 is 'Loud shirt day' an amazing cause to raise awareness for children who are deaf or hard at hearing. Our Infant Community A have done an amazing job at designing their very own 'Loud shirts' in preparation for Friday. How great do our children look in their shirts.

23.01.2022 In a Montessori environment we read stories that are realistic and educate children on topics that relate to the world in which we live in. Everyday stories are read to the children during our group time experiences. The children are also provided with the opportunity to read to themselves and others throughout the day.

23.01.2022 During our Montessori session the children have the opportunity to explore creative arts materials. Here the children are creating ice block paintings, whilst enhancing their fine motor skills.

22.01.2022 Happy Educators Day to all of our wonderful educators

19.01.2022 This week is National Science Week 15th-23rd August 2020. Here at Montessori Beginnings we are inspired to explore and experiment with a range of materials and ingredients. Its a great way for children to hypothesis, research, communicate and express their thoughts and ideas.

18.01.2022 Our cycle 1A room made banana oat cookies. The children each took a turn to peel and mash the bananas and mix in the oats and sultanas. We had fun getting our hands messy squishing the mixture into balls. These cookies were a great healthy and yummy afternoon tea snack. What are some healthy afternoon treats that you make with your children?

18.01.2022 In our cycle 1A Kinder room the children participated in a science experiment making rain. Using shaving cream, food colour and water the children experimented for themselves watching the water move through the shaving cream clouds. This was a wonderful science and sensorial experience.

17.01.2022 For science week our infant community A made 'snow dough', using a combination of cornflour, shampoo and food colouring. The children watched and felt the different materials combine together to form a soft dough like texture.

16.01.2022 In our Infant Community-B room we experimented with the string phone or walkie talkie science experiment, in celebration of the national science week. We used a brown thread and coffee take away cup for this experiment.

15.01.2022 Working with clay is a great way for our children to explore textures and stimulate their senses.

14.01.2022 Thank you to all of our wonderful families for following the mandatory requirements and wearing face masks into our service and out into the community. We appreciate your support.

14.01.2022 The children in Infant Community B participated in a science experiment where they observed the chemical reaction using milk, dishwashing liquid and food colouring dye for the experiment. When liquid dishwashing soap is added to milk with drops of food colouring on the surface, the soap reduces the surface tension of the milk and reacts with the fat. This interaction causes the fat particles in the milk to move and create swirls of colour.

14.01.2022 A part of the Montessori curriculum is to encourage the children to care for their environment, not only indoors but outdoors as well. Our children gain a great sense of satisfaction in watering the plants for themselves.

14.01.2022 Free books available at Big W every Week for four weeks

07.01.2022 Hello from Willow and Honey, two of our greatest companions at Montessori Beginnings Mildura.

07.01.2022 Our Infant Community A practiced an emergency evacuation. We implement these evacuations regularly encase there is a fire. We are very proud of how well our children are able to take part in these important procedures to keep us safe.

06.01.2022 Our Infant Community A experimented by mixing colours together and watching the transformation of new colours unfold, using bi carb soda, food colouring and vinegar.

05.01.2022 During our morning tea routine, we encourage children to use their practical life skills to prepare, cut and serve their own fruit. Yesterday the class had the choice to peel their own mandarins. This is a great experience that allows children to develop their concentration and problem solving skills.

03.01.2022 Flower arranging is part of our practical life experiences as well as botany lessons. Flower arranging helps with fine motor control and encourages an awareness in creating aesthetically pleasing environments.

03.01.2022 Last week Infant Community A enjoyed a very hands on experience making glue using flour and water for paper mâché. The children used their hands to mix the ingredients together, squeezing it between their fingers to feel the consistency. The children then proceeded to lay newspaper in the glue before placing it onto the balloon to make paper mâché planets to help celebrate World Space Week 4th- 10th October 2020.

02.01.2022 Yoga is incorporated into our routines, as a fun and relaxing exercise that promotes health, well being and mindfulness.

01.01.2022 Our children have the opportunity to engage in many sensorial experiences. In our Infant community A the children participated in a jelly and sea creatures experience. We talked about the sea creatures that live in the deep blue sea, whilst feeling the different textures of the materials.

01.01.2022 Our children in Infant Community B participated in a volcano experiment in the sandpit. We used Bi-Carb soda and vinegar for the erupting lava. The children expressed wonder, curiosity and enjoyment throughout this experience, as they observed the reactions between the ingredients.
