06.01.2022 In Australia, ear infections affect 650,000 youngsters a year, and those with multiple ear infections often need grommet surgery. This involves tiny tubes being... inserted into the ear drum to drain fluid from the middle ear, and grommets are the second most common reason for young Aussie children to need surgery. It's great to hear that Australian researchers have identified the main bacteria responsible for recurrent ear infections and repeat ear surgeries in children. This article from Care for Kids looks at the culprit and investigates how this research takes us one step closer to wiping out childhood ear infections for good. http://ow.ly/y6JP50zT9Ca

05.01.2022 Outdoor Activity #68 - Egg Box Scavenger Hunt Scavenger hunts are a great way of exploring and investigating a place, and using an egg box is a neat way of... organising such a hunt! It’s constantly adaptable, you can focus on shapes, colours, textures or a combination. We’ve got beautiful weather here for the next few days so will be out in the garden scavenger hunting! Have fun!

04.01.2022 St John’s Preschool is open for Term 4. The children were very excited to return and explore our new playground equipment today. Such a beautiful addition to the playground with new challenges to extend the children!
