22.01.2022 Have you seen any Spoonville's while you have been out for your daily exercise? You could make your own and put them in your garden or on your nature strip for others to see or add to. All you need is a spoon, any scrap materials and your Covid-creativity.

14.01.2022 Parents and carers asked: "What is it? What do you do with it?" The children scraped, scooped and touched the mix, they explored what it could do. It stretched and oozed, yet it felt dry.......2 ingredients anyone know what?

12.01.2022 In response to the current situation regarding the pandemic COVID-19, we have decided to suspend term 1 Playgroup sessions a week early ie the sessions on 24th and 26th March will not be running. We will continue to monitor updates from the Victorian Education Department and will follow their advice as to recommencing Playgroup sessions. This link has current updates and advice. https://www.education.vic.gov.au//d/Pages/coronavirus.aspx We encourage you to continue providing play opportunities at home for your children and to get outside as much as you can. The internet is a great source for activity ideas. Check out the following Facebook pages: Playgroup Victoria; Playgroup Australia and The Wonderful World of Playgroup. See you all again soon.

11.01.2022 Our sausage sizzle at Bunnings Notting Hill was a great success. Thank you to all who helped on and before the day it was a real community effort with the St Luke's congregation and the playgroup working together to raise funds for the playgroup. Thanks also to our local state member Matt Fregon who added his support.

11.01.2022 It was great to be back at playgroup at St Luke's Uniting church this week. The outdoor area is a wonderful play space and the children really enjoyed playing in our new sandpit for the first time.

10.01.2022 Next week is Book Week. If you havent already, please check out your local library. We have very well resourced libraries in the City of Monash with storytimes for young children being held each week at each library, including storytimes in other languages...check out Monash Public Library service for details.

10.01.2022 Playgroup is on holiday for the next two weeks. We start again for Term 3 on Tuesday 16th July. Keep warm, slow down and remember to smell the flowers...happy holidays everyone!

10.01.2022 We thought this is quite fun! Hope you are keeping safe and well

09.01.2022 One of our playgroup families created this amazing outdoor kitchen in their back garden while theyve been home during the current COVID 19 restrictions. Their children love it and we can see why. What creative activities have you been doing at home with your children, wed love to hear about them?

09.01.2022 Playgroup has started back for Term 3 as has the train set by popular request. Train set play involves lots of social interaction as the children play close to each other and use the same track. This is a big challenge for very young children who have not yet developed the complex skill of sharing and adult involvement is important.

08.01.2022 Playgroup starts this week 4th and 6th February! However, we are following the Victorian Education Department's advice: This recommendation is that parents/guardians/carers of students should ensure that any child/family member attending Playgroup returning from mainland China (not including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) who was in mainland China on or after Saturday 1 February 2020 is isolated at home and should not attend Playgroup until 14 days after they were last in mai...nland China. This recommendation does not apply retrospectively. It applies only to students who were in mainland China on or after 1 February 2020. The existing advice remains that children/family members attending Playgroup should ensure that any Playgroup attendee is isolated at home and should not attend Playgroup for 14 days if either of the conditions below are met. That is: following exposure to any confirmed novel coronavirus case; or after leaving Hubei Province. https://www.education.vic.gov.au//d/Pages/coronavirus.aspx

06.01.2022 The children were excited to see a new pile of fun and adventure in the playground to start term 4. Welcome back everyone!

06.01.2022 Soap whipped up is a great mix to touch, spoon, pour and mess with!

05.01.2022 Hello families. We are continuing to have a break from the on-site functioning of Playgroup at this time due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We are monitoring updates from the Victorian Education Department and as before following their advice in regard to restarting playgroup sessions. Our co-ordinator has been making contact with enrolled families to check in with them and provide support as required. There are many resources available to families with ideas for activities that can be done at home. One of these is Monash Library Service which under Library from Home has a large number of on-line story times and activities to enjoy. This is a challenging time for the community please stay safe and look after yourselves.

05.01.2022 Hi families, thought you might like to try this, it looks like great fun...

04.01.2022 One of our playgroup families created this amazing outdoor kitchen in their back garden while they've been home during the current COVID 19 restrictions. Their children love it and we can see why. What creative activities have you been doing at home with your children, we'd love to hear about them?

04.01.2022 Another fun idea to try...

04.01.2022 Houses were made for the dolls this week at playgroup. They involved using a variety of materials and some building with the blocks.What do you think?

03.01.2022 Ball fun at playgroup this week! Please note playgroup is on holiday for the next 2 weeks. We return again on Tuesday 8th October. Enjoy the spring weather and lots of play outside.

02.01.2022 Another great idea for you to try thanks to one of our Playgroup families who created it in their back yard. All you need is a fence and a couple of pieces of pipe and wood. Balls, cars, etc can be posted into the top of the pipe. What other things could you roll down??

02.01.2022 Celebrate the Christmas season at St Lukes! All are welcome at our family-friendly services

02.01.2022 We had fun with our teddy bears, unicorns and other special soft toy friends this week at playgroup.
