Flora the Explorer

Today the Dingo Drive and Koala Close children got a visit from Flora the Explorer. She taught the children all about the different animal groups and Australian animals that fit into the groups. She also did a range of fun things with the children and showed off her many skills. The children found the show absolutely delightful!

Our preschoolers have been having so much fun learning Japanese through our ELLA (Early Learning Languages Australia) program! 🌈🇯🇵

Recently they have learnt their colours in Japanese and can proudly sing I Can Sing a Rainbow together. 🎶

Using the interactive Polyglots apps, children explore a new language and culture through play while building cognitive, digital and early literacy skills. It’s wonderful to see their confidence and curiosity grow as they discover the world around them! 💙💛❤️💚

Mini MasterChef
Today, the Possum Place children enjoyed a Mini MasterChef cooking class with Sawyer. Together, they made delicious mini corn dog muffins.
The children enthusiastically helped by measuring, mixing, and adding the ingredients, developing their confidence and teamwork throughout the activity. Cooking experiences like Mini MasterChef provide valuable opportunities to explore early mathematical concepts such as measuring, counting, and following sequences, while also building important life skills.
It was a fun and engaging learning experience, and the children were very proud of their tasty creations!

Farewell, Hope! 👩‍🍳❤️

Today we said farewell to Hope and wished her all the very best as she begins an exciting new chapter.

Hope has made the decision to step away from her role as Chef to spend more time focusing on her family. We are incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed and for the care, passion, and dedication she brought to our team every day.

Thank you, Hope, for all your hard work. You will be greatly missed, and we wish you and your family nothing but happiness and success for the future. Best of luck in your next chapter!

Reptiles on the Go! 🦎🐢

Recently we were lucky enough to get a visit from Ben and Maddy from Reptiles on the Go! They taught us all about the native reptiles to Australia and what to do if we see them in the wild. The children were so excited to see and pat the reptiles where they could!
