25.01.2022 IT'S CHALLENGE TIME! We will be competing with the other Wiggles and Giggles services to make something out of a pallet! If you have any ideas to share with us, or would like to get involved we would love to hear from you! Just pop them in the comments below!

25.01.2022 The Dolphin's room had a blast engaging in a range of experiments for science week! We participated in a Milk experiment, we made lemon volcanoes and we conducted a balloon experiment! Milk Experiment The Dolphin's children were able to watch the chemical reaction that occurs in milk, between the fat and protein. We are able to see this through the use of food colouring, when the dish soap and milk combine. The reaction is shown as it is hard to join the colour's that are p...laced in the milk together. Lemon Volcano The Dolphins children were able to make a lemon volcano through the chemical reaction of the bicarb soda and lemon juice. The Dolphin's children even added soap to the lemon and bicarb soda, to allow for a foam reaction. Balloon Experiment Using a funnel, the Dolphin's children poured vinegar into a plastic bottle. Next, they inserted the funnel into the mouth of the balloon and placed Bicarb soda inside. Once there is enough bicarb soda in the balloon, we placed the balloon onto the bottle where we saw the chemical reaction unfold. As the bicarb soda and vinegar combine, the balloon slowly inflates!

24.01.2022 Today in the Dolphin's room, we opened up our own gardening centre. We sold trees, flowers, seeds to plant and gardening tools! This activity was to extend on our discussions in the class about being sustainable and how to look after our environment!

23.01.2022 Today the pre-schoolers participated in "Play outside day" This was a day filled with fun outdoor activities. We had a fantastic time creating our very own Mud kitchen, this was an open-ended nature play experience which gave the children an opportunity to explore, imagine and experiment!

23.01.2022 Our ducks have arrived! The children were super excited to be able to watch our first duck hatch yesterday with another hatching over night! Check out what our cheeky ducks are getting up to after hours.

23.01.2022 Our phones are now working again! Thank you for your patience.Our phones are now working again! Thank you for your patience.

22.01.2022 This morning in the preschool room, we created our very own volcano for our dinosaurs! We were very excited to watch the lava pour out as we combined the bicarb soda with vinegar!! This activity erupted a massive interest amonst the Dolphins children, which lead us to making our own individual volcanoes!

21.01.2022 WEEKLY QUESTION! This weeks question is below, we would love your feedback via a comment or email. Thank you.

21.01.2022 To further extend on our interest in dinosaurs, this morning the Dolphins became palaeontologists and entered their own fossil site! We put on our yellow vests and hard hats, grabbed a shovel and began to dig. We found dinosaur footprints, Fossils and dinosaur eggs. Once all the fossils were found, we were able to take them to our dinosaur lab for further investigation, using magnifying glasses!

19.01.2022 Dont forget tomorrow is our last day of school photos. Our photographers will begin at 9am and a group photo will be taken around 10:30am.

Thank you

19.01.2022 Hatch 'N' Grow On arrival to the centre the Seahorse children were excited to see 12 duckling eggs and one freshly hatched duckling in the incubator. As the days passed the children were full of questions 'why the ducklings come in eggs' 'how they hatch out' 'why are they taking so long to hatch' They were able to experience the slow process of the ducklings come out of the eggs, become fluffy ducklings, eat and drink and even go for a dip in the water. As the ducklings grew, the children were able to nurse and care for the new ducklings and enjoy cuddles with them.

11.01.2022 To further extend on the Jellyfish children's interest in natural resources, we added flowers, leaves and wooden blocks as stimuli and made a beautiful chlorophyll painting! Once Miss Neetu demonstrated how to use the resources and flowers to complete the activity, the Jellyfish were able to do the same and continue with the activity. They rubbed the flowers and leaves on the paper to create their beautiful artwork. They also used the blocks pressing it down on the leaves to create a print.

Loose parts provide many experiences for children to be creative, curious and imaginative.
