25.01.2022 A few weeks ago on January 22nd, the children at Southbank had a lovely morning picnic to celebrate the beautiful country that we live in, and respect the land owners for their sacrifices. Children brought their favourite toys, enjoyed yummy food, and also listened to stories about Australia.

24.01.2022 On 20th July children and staff came to Southbank Montessori dressed in their pyjamas. The children had lots of fun making popcorn and pancakes, watching a Dr Seuss movie and doing art and craft. The day was very relaxing as the children enjoyed the comfort of the "Pyjama Day" event.

22.01.2022 Over the month of May our Bilby classroom learnt about dinosaurs. They learnt about the archaeology as they tried to unearth the dinosaur fossils. They did a classroom experiment on how the lava from active volcanoes might have destroyed the dinosaurs and caused their extinction. Children also made dinosaur footprints and we created a matching job in our classroom where children were able to match all types of dinosaurs with the correct name cards. Everyone loves this job!

21.01.2022 Helping your child learn what behaviour is expected and begin to control their impulses can be easier if you keep in mind her basic needs. They want to understand the world around them, the routines and rhythms of daily life. You can assist her growth in self-discipline when you follow these three key principles: 1. Create an environment that fosters self-discipline. 2. Connect your child to the environment. ... 3. Make time by respecting your childs activity. See more
