🍎SCHOOL READINESS- LUNCHBOXES🍎

Yesterday our kindy children practised using their lunchboxes as part of our school readiness program🥪✨

Opening containers, choosing foods, packing away and cleaning up may seem like small tasks, but these everyday routines play an important role in building independence, confidence and fine motor skills. As part of our school readiness program, children are learning to manage their own belongings, problem-solve and take responsibility for themselves—key foundations for a smooth and confident transition to school.

By practising familiar routines now, we help children feel capable, secure and prepared for the classroom environment ahead. We love supporting these important life skills through real-life experiences that empower children to thrive 💫

🍦ICECREAM EXPERIMENT🍦

Today the Kangaroo children enjoyed a fun and enriching science experience where they made their own icecream!!

Using ice, rock salt and cream in a separate bag, each child shook their elements together to form a chemical reaction and make icecream. The children had so much fun and got to enjoy their creation for a cool down during this hot weather

🍃 MONTHLY NEWSLETTER 🍃

We hope you enjoy reading what we have been up to this month. Make sure to check the friendly reminders for your child/children’s room.
