25.01.2022 Sonas Karrinyup - Santa We made sure we watched out and we did not cry, We did not pout and I’m telling you why.Santa Claus came to town!... We created our very own Santa in a sensory tray. @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonaskarrinyup Read more http://bit.ly/32snfs5

25.01.2022 Sonas Atwell - Our Christmas Preparation All week the children were preparing for Christmas through meticulously painting baubles to place on their Christmas tree and baking cookies for Santa. Throughout the learning experiences the children and Educators’ shared their Christmas memories experience with family and friends. In addition, we expressed our hopes and wishes for the day particularly focussing on the presents Santa could potentially place under our tree, oh and not... to forget and yummy delicious treats. The conversation shared helps build deep and meaningful relationships with Educator and child, in turn strengthening/developing a strong sense of belonging at Sonas Atwell. #aussiexmas #playgrouplearning #learningthroughplay @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasatwell Read more https://bit.ly/2O0m1yR

25.01.2022 Sonas Atwell - Hocus Pocus Recently the children of Sonas Atwell have been so intrigued by mixing and blending elements from within their environments and talking about potions so we thought what a great way for us to experiment, create our very own potions and discover some wonderful and whacky science together along the way. We even dressed up for the occasion Thankfully there werent any spells cast that could not be reversed.... #sonasatwellhocuspocus #sonaskidslovescience #sonasatwelllovetomakepotions @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasatwell Read more https://bit.ly/2O0m1yR

24.01.2022 Sonas Baldivis - Colourful Worms This morning in the kindy and toddler room we explored some colourful paper worms. Integrating science with colour recognition the children were given the opportunity to use water combined with ink and watch the worms wiggle and expand colour. During this experience we opened the opportunity to discuss what was happening to the worms when we added the water and what colour they were. Once we had finished adding the water to the wiggly worms, ...we squeezed out the colour and watched as they combined creating a variety of different colours and finishing with a brown. During activities like these it gives the children the opportunity to hypothesis the theory behind the mixing of the colours and why the worms began to wriggle when water is added. @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasbaldivis Read more https://bit.ly/2CXpV8N

24.01.2022 Sonas Baldivis - Potion Making The Sonas Baldivis children love making potions in our mud pit, mixing the mud with coloured water, herbs and flowers from our garden and any other ingredients they can find. It is an amazing collaborative experience, with all age groups getting involved in the messy fun.... The most memorable days usually end with the dirtiest clothes at Sonas Baldivis . @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasbaldivis Read more https://bit.ly/2CXpV8N

24.01.2022 Sonas Atwell - Sink or Float Experiment Will it float, or will it sink? Was the inquiry question at Sonas Atwell. In preparation for their experiment the children and educator gathered a few objects and filled a container with water, then the fun started. Before adding objects to the water, we wondered and made inference whether the object would sink or float. Together with the educator the children tested the density and buoyancy of the objected. The children made fantas...tic predictions deducing their hypothesis on weight, size and construction; however, the peeled and unpeeled orange was a big surprise for most of the children. Our little scientist discussed the concepts with the educator and discovered that air and little itsy-bitsy molecules within the item only visible with a microscope were responsible for such a magical outcome. Our little scientist had so much fun and they are waiting in anticipation for our next science experiment. #STEM #Scienceisfun #learningthroughplayandexperimenting @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasatwell Read more https://bit.ly/2O0m1yR

23.01.2022 Sonas Atwell - Now This Looks Like Fun! By simply adding an element of water to our sensory tray, this then became an entirely new experience and fun for young and old. There was muddy water splashing in all directions causing laughter and hysterics among the children. &carewelovemessyplay @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasatwell...

You become the puppet, What will you become today? Our educators put on a puppet show for some of the Kindy and Nursery children. They all gathered around to see lots of dancing and singing puppets.

22.01.2022 Happy Educators Day from all of us here at Sonas Coolbellup.

22.01.2022 Sonas Atwell - Caring For Our Babies One of our favourite dramatic play experiences is caring for our pretend Sonas babies. With the educator the children share their ideas of caring for babies and experiences they observed. A few beautiful comments were made:... warm hugs will make him sleep best. keep your baby like this, she will sleep good. kisses make her feel good when baby cries.’ The experience provides the educator the opportunity to engage in discussion about caring for each other particularly focussing on someone younger. It is wonderful to see the children transfer knowledge of possible prior experience through demonstrating their gentle hands and using many endearing words whilst engaging with their babies. @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonasatwell Read more https://bit.ly/2O0m1yR

19.01.2022 Sonas Wattle Grove - Christmas Craft Creating Homemade Decorations. This month at Sonas Wattle Grove the children have been busily making some Christmas craft to take home for their parents. In Kindy and in Pre-school the children have been enjoying making some salt dough tree decorations. We started out by making some salt dough, making sure it was just right before rolling it out into a thin sheet. Then they picked which shape they would like to create from the cookie cu...tters. They could choose a tree, a gingerbread man, an angel, a star, and a candy cane. Once they had cut it out, we baked it in the oven, and then once cooled, decorated it with some paint and glitter. The end result was beautiful tree hanging decorations. @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonaswattlegrove Read more http://bit.ly/32xyeQT

Where did this come from? How does it work? Why does this look like a tree? .and many more We have even moved some of our loose parts outside to explore.

We created our own safari park where the children could explore the various animals. We have had so much fun investigating why animals are different. We compared different shapes and sizes.

The children have been excited to explore the Aboriginal culture through story time and through creative activities. We recognise the significance of the first footprints on this continent were those belonging to the First Nations people. We decided to create the Aboriginal flag wi...th our own handprints, as our little hands can shape our world. Whilst we painted the flag we talked about the significance of each colour and why they are important, this sparked some wonderful discussions. #NAIDOC #Aboriginalculture #culture #respect @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonashuntingdale Read more http://bit.ly/32pOIui

10.01.2022 Sonas Coolbellup - We all tell a Story A morning of simply asking for chalk has turned into a lesson in story symbols and a full exploration of colours natural and child man through our riverbed. We used the rocks to recreate the story symbols that we have begun to explore in our play spaces, and it was not long before we began to create story symbols to represent ourselves and when the babies joined us. They used the mud to create their stories on their bodies.... Soon we noticed the colour running down the riverbed and again our interest peaked as we discussed how bright the chalk colours were but how they disappeared in the brown of the mud at the end. @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonascoolbellup Read more http://bit.ly/32x54Bx

07.01.2022 Sonas Baldivis North - The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round! The Baby’s room is currently exploring a Music Makers Program. The educators created an interactive song selector where the babies are able to take off a Velcro picture relating to a certain song. One of our favourites has been The Wheels on The Bus, so we thought what better way to bring the song to life than making an interactive bus! We found a super-duper box and began our work, we chose our paint and beg...an decorating away, some of us chose to use the brushes where others explored the paint with their hands! It is looking fantastic!

05.01.2022 Sonas Karrinyup - Honey Bees Well it’s that time of year when all of the flying insects swarm outdoor spaces. Although some may think that this is an unfavorable detail about our Australian summers, our children have established a different perspective as they marveled through our gardens. Some of our children discovered bees flying from one bush to the next. We speculated about what they might be doing and why they might be doing it. It was a very inquisitive conversation w...ith many assumptions being thrown out. Together, we decided to find out the facts and what better way to do that but by utilizing the internet. I wonder where this spectacular interest will take us? Tell us, what do you know about Honey bees? @sonaschildcare #sonaschildcare #sonasearlylearning #sonaskarrinyup Read more http://bit.ly/32snfs5
