The children really enjoyed exploring the trucks and were very interested in learning about fire safety!

23.01.2022 At such a busy age full of exciting new developmental stages and leaps its important that little ones get the sleep they need to be able to grow and thrive. The final nap loss happens in this time and its important to know how that effects their night sleep expectations. Have a look at the video in the link for some interesting information. https://parenttv.com//sleep-how-much-is-needed-at-age-3-5/

21.01.2022 Recently children at Collinswood have been enjoying excursions and incursions offered by Windsor Gardens Bunnings. The ongoing workshops are based around our current program focus; sustainability and community involvement. Bunnings came out and created some worm farms and garden beds with the children, the herbs and vegetables have grown amazingly! At the workshop the children made some garden stakes with writing on them indicating what vegetable/herb it is. They were also able to make a little Christmas gift for their families. When they were done we all sat in the café had lunch and babycinos with Eleni who conducted the workshop.

20.01.2022 Gardening and cooking has been a big focus in the Pre-kindy room at Lockleys who doesnt love watermelon!!! The children are constantly exposed to a range of cooking lessons that link directly to our Practical Life Curriculum and cooking in the kitchen with our chef Ros. The process of garden to plate has been wonderful experience. We are so grateful to have educators that are as passionate about gardening as the children are.

19.01.2022 On Saturday Precious Cargo St Peters hosted their cultural end of year celebration. The children showcased their learning around celebrating diversity. This was embraced through music, cooking experiences, art work and more! A huge thank you to all of our families who contributed to this special day with traditional food, displays and music and Adelaide African Beats who brought our whole community together through their incredible interactive African drumming and dance performance.

19.01.2022 Farmer Darcys Traveling farm recently visited our Collinswood centre as the Pre Kindy children have been learning about animals. The children enjoyed engaging with the animals by holding, patting, brushing, feeding and cuddling them. They showed a strong interest in learning about how each animal should be cared for and what they like to eat and drink, especially the 7 day old little piglet that the children showed so much love and care for.

17.01.2022 The Kindy room at Woodville Park have been learning about different emotions and how to recognise and understand them. We have explored this topic with various books, craft activities and we have even made our own emotions poster! The children chose 3 emotions to write about and role played the face they felt showed the emotion in a mirror. This has been a valuable learning experience and sparked many conversations for the children and educators.

17.01.2022 SA Metropolitan Fire Service's visit to Welland in September sparked conversation among the children about other emergency services and their role within our community. To further investigate this interest the children had a visit from the SA Ambulance Service. The children showed interest in learning about and oxygen masks, bandages and the ambulance itself.

They have been jumping, running, balancing and carefully stepping through, over and on the stepping stones, climbing ladder and hurdles. Gross motor skills are an important part of childrens development and physical wellbeing. These activities also encourage children to use their resilience and persistence to try new challenges.

09.01.2022 Last week at Westbourne Park the Pre Kindy class helped to decorate the Vinnies Giving Tree. They learned the purpose and meaning of the tree and about the charity of St Vincent De Paul. The children could identify that other children would feel happy to get a present on Christmas. The families and staff at Westbourne Park are invited to purchase and donate a toy to place under the tree and St Vincent De Paul will come to collect the toys and distribute them to families in need, ready for Christmas Day. The holiday season is a time that we can give back to our community and broaden childrens understanding of the world in which we live.

09.01.2022 The children at Myrtle Bank were recently treated to a visit by two Police Officers. They had a great time, sitting in the Police car, turning on the siren, wearing officers hats and vests, and some even being handcuffed! The Officers talked to the children about their role in the community, about ringing 000 in an emergency and the importance of children knowing their home address.
