21.01.2022 Junior Toddlers- With the beautiful weather returning the Junior Toddlers are participating in more time outside, we have been eating our morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea outside in the lovely sunshine. With fewer transitions in and out of the room this leaves lots of time to play.

19.01.2022 Today in the kindergarten room the children decorated the Christmas tree, posted letters to Santa and sang along to Christmas carols. Over the following weeks the children will be enjoying many festive Christmas activities as we get into the spirit and make it extra special for the children.

14.01.2022 Pre-Kinder: The Pre-Kinder children are currently starting to make self-watering plants. We collected recycled soft drink bottles to create the pot and water feeder. Within our yard we have some of our succulents beginning to sprout babies. The children are able to add the water and soil to their water feeder and then pick which succulent baby they would like to plant. ... We cannot wait to see how our self-watering planters go.

All of the children tried the strawberries and thought they were very yummy!

The children will be working on pieces of Art to send back as a thank you for their activity pages.

07.01.2022 Senior Toddlers: Over the past couple of weeks we have added an obstacle course into the outdoor yard which consists of balancing buckets, stepping stones, hoops and hurdles. The children have had lots of fun completing the course and extending on their gross motor and balancing skills.

06.01.2022 The centre participated in Diwali Day. Deepawali is the Indian festival of lights, usually lasting five days and celebrated during the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance". Educator Ruma brought in a variety of her traditional Indian outfits for the educators to wear. The children were able to try chicken biriyani made by Ruma. Each room participated in a range of experiences such as rangoli art, puppet shows, light shows using party sparklers and glow sticks. Rooms listened to traditional Indian music such as Bollywood and learnt how to dance.

04.01.2022 It has been a busy few weeks, the children and educators in the infants room have taken part in activities such as NAIDOC week, Christmas arts and crafts and most of all enjoying the great outdoors with our older peers from the junior toddler room. This gives the infants a chance to build new relationships between the other children and Educators and become familiar with the outdoor environment. As educators in the infants room we like to challenge the infants by having activities that require the child to use a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry,researching and investigating.
