25.01.2022 Be kind to each other and the earth

24.01.2022 The Noongar Season Djilba is represented by the colour pink as it symbolises growth of wildflowers and plants. This is the start of the massive flowering explosion that happens in the South West. Beginning with the yellow flowering plants such as the acacias. Djilba is a transitional time of the year, with some very cold and clear days combining with warmer,rainy and windy days mixing with the occasional sunny day or two. Traditionally, the main food sources included many o...f the land-based grazing animals including the yongar (kangaroo), the waitj (emu) and the koomal (possum). As the days start to warmup, we start to see and hear the first of the newborns with their proud parents out and about providing them with food, guiding them through foraging tasks and protecting their family units from much bigger animals, including people! The woodland birds are still nest bound, hence the swooping protective behaviour of the koolbardi (magpie), djidi djidi (willy wag tails) and chuck-a-luck (wattle birds). As the season progresses and the temperatures continue to rise, the flower stalks of the balgas (Grass Trees) emerge in preparation for the coming Kambarang season. ecu.edu.au//cultural-ambassado/nyoongar-six-seasons/djilba See more

24.01.2022 Happy Sunday Everyone! We hope you are enjoying the sunshine. Sunita is reading the book "Lost and Found". Have you ever lost something? Or maybe you have found something?

24.01.2022 Happy Harmony from all of us at Mount Lawley CCC. Today we celebrated all the cultures that make up our centre, with dance, food, language and tradition.

22.01.2022 This is true for early care and education professionals too. Narrating what were doing in front of infants, toddlers and preschoolers is an important early lit...eracy development strategy called Self Talk. Similarly, narrating what a young child is doing in real-time is called Parallel Talk. (Part of) Co-Regulation: Self Talk as you are calming yourself down in front of young children. (Ex. Im so mad right now because I forgot to bring my lunch! Ok, Im going to take a deep breath to help me calm down - breathes deeply - Im feeling a little better now but Im still a little upset. I could sure use a hug right now...)

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone! Are you remembering to wash your hands? What song do you like to sing when you wash your hands? Chantelle likes the song Wash Wash Wash your hands. <3

21.01.2022 Here is a great recipe for finger paint. Finger painting is great as a fine motor activity for infants, toddlers and older children.

20.01.2022 wishing you all a happy Indigenous Literacy Day; a great day to read children books by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander authors and learn about Australia's many languages https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YtrOi2Y-B8A

20.01.2022 Here's an idea to get the children outside,enjoying the magnificent weather.

20.01.2022 Chantelle is reading We are Going on a Bear Hunt. Dont be scared, its a beautiful day, a perfect day to be in nature <3

20.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Stella is reading a book about being different. " You are special and important just for being who you are". We hope you enjoy the book!

19.01.2022 happy Early Learning Matters week!

17.01.2022 This is a vitual hug to all the amazing grandparents who miss spending time with their grandchildren <3 . Amanda is reading a story about the different names grandmothers are called in different countries. Amanda calls her grandmother YiaYia. What do you call your grandmother?

15.01.2022 The team at Mount Lawley Child Care Centre would like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and all the best for the New Year. We thank you all for your support during this unpredictable year and are looking forward to a bigger and brighter 2021. Thank You for all your warm wishes and gifts during this week.... We really appreciate your thoughts. Have a happy and safe break

14.01.2022 Hi Everyone, Uroosa is reading a book about Kindness. What kind things are you planning to do today?

13.01.2022 Reports show that 30% of young children #sleep less than recommended and/or have behavioural sleep problems associated with insufficient sleep. And to date, lit...tle is known about the #neurophysiological response to acute or chronic sleep loss in young children. It is not until age 4 or 5 that most children are able to go happily through the entire day without a nap, and even then, there is large inter-individual variability in the #brain physiology of recovery from missed sleep. Sleep research provides important insights into the neurophysiological basis of vulnerability to sleep loss in early childhood. And it suggests that even through adulthood a midday #nap or rest break is extremely beneficial in reducing the pressure in all human beings. Understanding a concept called homeostatic sleep pressure can help you interpret what is really going on in your home or classroom at the end of a long day, when children are fussy and adults are grumpy resulting in stressful interactions. Sleep pressure builds throughout the day. It can be exaggerated by environmental issues such as the previous poor nights sleep, on-going sleep deprivation, or daily #stress such as the current world climate. This stress is then compounded by each persons moodiness feeding off the others, causing contagion of bad emotional affect and adding to homeostatic sleep pressure in the person, child and adult alike. Studies have found that quality naps can make up for lost night sleep, but extra night-time sleep DOES NOT make up for missed naps, due to the homeostatic sleep pressure concept. Therefore, no matter how a child sleeps at night, their daily naps may be critically important to release the rising sleep pressure that arises from a reduction in the neural-activity-dependent build up of homeostatic sleep pressure during waking times. It may dismay some to hear that brain studies reveal young children may not actually be able to obtain the sleep they need only at night. For some children, daytime sleep may be crucial to satisfying 24 hour sleep need and may also be protective of developmental and health consequences associated with sleep loss. Each childs behaviour is a key indicator. Daytime napping has been found to be crucial in early memory development. There are also patterns of findings suggesting that night-time sleep and daytime naps are of differing importance in consolidating #vocabulary and other #learning in young children. Importantly, napping in early childhood has evident beneficial cognitive effects far beyond the age of 2 years old, where the many pressures of todays industrialised lifestyle begin to discourage (or pragmatically, must disallow) daytime sleeping. Every baby and child is different, and individual and household needs vary considerably. Most children continue taking an afternoon nap until ages 3 to 5. The National Sleep Foundation says that newborns need 14-to-17 hours sleep a day; 4 month to 1 year olds need 12-to-15 hours; and toddlers need 12-to-14 hours. Around 30% of children still daytime nap past 5 years old, and some do so into their teenage years, depending on how much information they absorb, how much stress they are under, and what their family or cultural lifestyle allows. Sleep pressure accumulates quickly across the day during early childhood, with the rate of build up declining with age. It is thought that children stop having naps when brain maturity arrives at a point where less neural recruitment is necessary for optimal functioning when some domain-specific specialisation has occurred. Sleep is the price we pay for plasticity. Having insights into the neurophysiological vulnerabilities of sleep loss in early childhood can guide each of us in making better decisions for ourselves and our young charges on a day-to-day basis. Knowledge of current sleep research can also help us in exercising more compassion to one another when were all feeling a little worse for wear after a long day. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5087974/ https://www.sciencedirect.com//artic/pii/S1087079215000878 https://www.dovepress.com/spotlight-on-daytime-napping-duri https://www.mother.ly//the-volcano-effect-why-skipping-a-n https://www.sleepfoundation.org//2005-adult-sleep-habits-a #neurochild #brainscience #childdevelopment

13.01.2022 The Noongar Season ‘Makuru’ is represented by the colour dark blue as it symbolises rain and cold weather. Makuru sees the coldest and wettest time of the year in the South West. Traditionally, this was a good time of the year to move back inland from the coast as the winds turned to the west and south bringing the cold weather, rains and occasionally snow on the peaks of the Stirling and Porongurup Ranges. As the waterways and catchments started to fill, people were able to ...move about their country with ease and their food sources changed from the sea, estuarine and lake foods to those of the land, in particular the grazing animals such as the kangaroo. As well as a food source, animals provided people with many other things. For example, the 'yongar' or kangaroo, not only provided meat but also 'bookas' (animal skin cloaks that were used as the nights became much cooler). Nothing was left. Even the bones and sinews were used in the manufacturing of bookas and for affixing barbs to hunting tools such as spears. Makuru is also a time for a lot of animals to be pairing up in preparation for breeding in the coming season. If you look carefully, you might see pairs of 'wardongs' (ravens) flying together. Upon the lakes and rivers of the South West, you'll also start to see a large influx of the Black Swan or'Mali' as they too prepare to nest and breed. Flowers that will start to emerge include the blues and purples of the blueberry lily (Dianella revoluta) and the purple flags(Patersonia occidentalis). As the season comes to a close, you should also start to notice the white flowers of the weeping peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) as the blues start to make way for the white and cream flowers of Djilba. https://www.ecu.edu.au//cultur/nyoongar-six-seasons/makuru

03.01.2022 Today we remember those who were taken away from their families. Both my grandparents and their brothers and sisters were taken away too. Our people were placed... in Missions across the whole of this country. Today I show my respects to what we know as The Stolen Generations and may we keep sharing their stories and remember them for who they were. Loving, kind and caring people who hid their pain so well #sorryday2020 #stolengenerations #sorrow #painintheirhearts #nogood #respect #aboriginal #aboriginalaustralia #nottheforgotten #rabbitprooffence #memoriesforlife #mogumber #mogumbermission #moorerivernativesettlement #newnorciamission #carolupmission #wanderingmission #roelandsmission #badjalingmission #sisterkates #pallottinemission #tardunmission See more
