25.01.2022 Science Week 2020 Day 2 The children revisited experiences that we implemented yesterday, displaying fantastic memory recall skills while engaging in play. We also introduced ice painting,which was a huge hit with everyone!! All the children appeared to love moving the ice around the paper, watching as it slowly melted and left behind a trail of paint

23.01.2022 Another fantastic day. The sunny and warm weather allowed for extended and uninterrupted outdoor play

23.01.2022 National Science Week 2020 Day 3 We continued to revisit experiences from earlier this week, while also introducing a new experience:bicarb and vinegar. We prepared a mixture of bicarb and vinegar to mould into an egg shape, with a surprise hiding within. After freezing for an hr it was ready to go! ... The children focused on this experience for such a long time! So much so, that we ran out of bicarb eggs!! With a bit of quick thinking, we improvised and hid sea creatures at the bottoms of a container before filling the container bicarb. It was wonderful to observe the older children help and guide their younger peers during this experience. See more

23.01.2022 That’s a wrap for 2020. This year has truely been amazing! I have had the best children and families an educator could hope for!! A fun filled Christmas party tomorrow and then a well deserved break for myself and Abby as well as all the families and children at Turtle Cove

23.01.2022 NAIDOC WEEK 2020. This experience extended from the children’s own interest and curiosity. By providing an enriching and engaging environment children are able to foster, develop and promote their own learning, knowledge and understanding.

23.01.2022 Child initiated learning this morning with independent creative drawing. One of the children creatively chose to use pencils like drum sticks! I Loved watching her transfer what she had observed and use it in her own context. I can see a musical career in her future!

22.01.2022 Day 3 of our party week We had a special visit from Nicky who works for illawarra Family Daycare...and she bought presents . We have been practicing unwrapping over the last couple of weeks, and today we put our practice to the test! A huge thank you to Illawarra Family Daycare!! ... Reindeer ringtoss was the favourite party game today! One of our children were brave enough to put the antlers on their own heads and encouraged the younger children to place/toss the rings onto the antlers!!

22.01.2022 National Science Week: DAY 4. Today was all about magic. Our assistant (my daughter) used candles to draw pictures for the children this morning. The children used a variety of water paints to reveal the picture. Tying in with our ocean theme, the children discovered fish, shark, octopus, whale, turtle and a jelly fish drawn on the paper. This activity promoted the children’s natural curiosity and inquisitive nature as they discovered the ...hidden pictures. To further develop their understandingand comprehension, all the children chose to use the candles to create their own drawings before going over the picture with water paint. This involved experience was so much fun for everyone, with some children even commenting that it really was magic! See more

19.01.2022 And to finish off our day.... Happy Halloween everyone

19.01.2022 First day of spring!

19.01.2022 Happy Father’s Day

19.01.2022 Today I observed as the children made their own discoveries while using the rainbow blocks. On their own, the children independently discovered that when the light shone through the blocks it shone the colour onto the wall. This naturally led to exploring and investigating shadows using different items. It was a beautiful way to spend our afternoon

17.01.2022 What a fantastic start to our Christmas party week As you can see, we have all had a fantastic day!!!

17.01.2022 Oh how I love this time of year Another fantastic day at Turtle Cove and our last week together this year . what a fantastc week it is turning out to be!!! Candy cane fishing was a huge hit with all the children. The older children fostered their resilience, persistence and determination while the younger children displayed their ability to adapt the resources in order to achieve their goal.

13.01.2022 It started off with using our imagination during pretend play to make pizza...and turned into making our own real mini-pizzas for afternoon tea!

12.01.2022 pictures convey more than words could ever say I love seeing authentic, respectful and reciprocative relationships flourish this week. So much care, empathy and respect is developing while the children engage in collaborative play, led by their own interest and ideas

11.01.2022 Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums, nans,Grandmothers and Gma’s of Turtle Cove. I hope you all have a wonderful day with your loved ones The children have worked hard over the last few weeks, coming up with the ideas for presents and then executing the ideas. We hope you enjoy the love and thought that went into them

09.01.2022 Can you guess what action song is the children’s favourite at music and movement time? . Hop little bunnies is requested at least 5 times a day and is a fantastic song for promoting coordination, motor, engagement, physical, receptive and language skills

08.01.2022 Can we all just take a moment out of our busy Friday and look at these gorgeous children? I know my heart definitely melted upon witnessing these beautiful moments today! Best friends for life in the making!

07.01.2022 Someone was very insistent on having cuddles with Abby this morning.

07.01.2022 We love using chalk at Turtle Cove. Today we extended on our interest by turning our chalk into chalk paint! The children absolutely loved this experience while simultaneously promoting their sensory, creativity, fine motor and imagination skills

07.01.2022 What a wonderful opportunity for famiies in our community. Recently refurbished and with new owners, its the perfect time to go and have fun!

05.01.2022 Happy Early childhood Educator’s Day to all my fellow early child educators. A huge thank you to Illawarra Family daycare for allowing me to be a part of your scheme. It has turned my dream into a reality

05.01.2022 Such an exciting day today. We discovered a very large stick insect in our covered outdoor learning area. The children loved giving Mr Sticky a pat and watching him sway from side to side. We discovered what he liked to eat and participated in a music and movement session where we moved our bodies like a stick insects. So much fun, and so very serendipitous that Mr Sticky came to visit during our planned insect exploration month.

04.01.2022 Could he get any cuter??? Someone is loving his yummy sandwich today.

04.01.2022 Science Week 2020. Day 1: investigating water: experimenting with water and oil Experimenting with melting ice. ... The children have had a fantastic time exploring water today.
