25.01.2022 Another butterfly hatched today! Were excited about the release tomorrow . Not our video but click here to check out the whole process of caterpillar to beautiful monarch butterfly!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AUeM8MbaIk

25.01.2022 The Lilli Pilli class have been hard at work investigating the power of air this week! Lots of fun with rocket balloons zooming along a string and squeezing empty drink bottles to propel a pom pom along a track. I'm sure we have some future scientists in our midst

25.01.2022 Heres something to get you started!

25.01.2022 Everything is a bit different this year, and we cant have our usual events... but here is proof that our preschool dads are the best ever!!

24.01.2022 I had to share this amazing artwork one of the children did today. Josh chatted with an Educator for feedback as he added features to his painting. We think the finished product is beautiful! Definitely one to be framed, mum & dad

24.01.2022 Our 2-day Jacarandas are very interested in sea creatures at the moment! They had a great time playing with this creation set up by their Educators - there was even a duplo elephant who had come to visit by the end of the day

23.01.2022 There is something new to see in our foyer - a butterfly garden! Over the next two weeks we will watch as the caterpillars make themselves into a chrysalis and then transform into butterflies. We have 3 caterpillars and a number of chrysalis already, I wonder if any of the children can tell us how many chrysalis they can spot when they are going home this afternoon?

23.01.2022 Its a little hard to hear "Row, row, row your boat"... but you can definitely hear "dont forget to SCREAM!!!"

22.01.2022 This week were celebrating HARMONY DAY at preschool! We love that we are a community made up of people from all over the world. Add your family to our tree, include where your family comes from, and tell us what you love about Australia . We are stronger together

22.01.2022 It's so fun to be back!

21.01.2022 Always growing and changing - both the preschool and our little friends! We have been quiet on here, but I hope you have all been enjoying our preschool@home program on Storypark. Here is a snapshot of preschool today: lots of children have returned and we're continuing to connect with others via group time on Zoom! I am grateful to be part of such an amazing team and community

18.01.2022 It's nearly time for us to say goodbye to 60 of our BIG KIDS heading off to 28 different schools next year. It will be sad to see them go but we're confident that we've done everything we can to prepare them for their next step!

05.01.2022 Some cockatoos came to check out what we had planned for Outdoor Day today!

05.01.2022 WHAT THE CHILDREN LOVED THIS WEEK The children have been very interested in investigating spiders! They have used their knowledge to draw their own giant spiders and put them up in the bathroom. Masking tape spider webs turned up on the sides of our cupboards, and they made MORE spiders with black paper. But the highlight of our week was when we found a real spider on the ceiling in the bathroom - we guessed it must have come to say hello to the spiders they had drawn!

01.01.2022 We raised $191 for the Childrens Hospital at Westmead with our Teddy Bears Picnic! Thank you for your donations

01.01.2022 WHAT THE CHILDREN LOVED THIS WEEK: After reading a book on Reduce, Reuse and Recycling, the Jacaranda 3 Day class were inspired to use recycled boxes to make their own City to play with. Together we looked at maps and different buildings to plan our own city. Each child decided what structure they would like to build and add to the city. We then used our plans and our collected recycling to build, paint and create our very own Jacaranda City. The children demonstrated problem solving, collaboration and innovative thinking while developing their Science, Maths and Literacy skills. Now we get to enjoy playing with our city together!

01.01.2022 We were glad there was a break in the weather for us to practice our Emergency Evacuation procedure today! No dramas for the children at all - they know what is happening and what to do. Hopefully we'll never have to use it in real life, but we have it under control if we do

01.01.2022 WHAT THE CHILDREN LOVED THIS WEEK! Each week the 4 year old classes participate in a gross motor program to learn and practise fundamental movement skills. Today we enjoyed using the extra space in the church grounds to practise our hand and eye coordination, by striking a ball with bat. As the children had already developed this skill, we introduced a new team element, where they had a partner. After they hit the ball, they ran to chase the ball and then swapped places. This is a simple introduction to team sport and the children took delight in celebrating each others big hits and taking turns.
