Learn and Laugh Hornsby

What an incredible Book Week! Our educators and children had a blast dressing up as their favourite characters and sharing their books with everyone!

Happy Mother's Day 💐

Happy Mother’s Day! Today we enjoyed a beautiful Mother’s Day afternoon tea with some of our Mums and Special women in the children’s lives! We hope you all have a wonderful day 💕

Our week 🌧️
Nursery:
The nursery have successfully grown tadpoles that were collected from Jonees house into FROGS.  They have nurtured them with not just food, with lots of love and attention.  Making sure they are fed and their tank is clean (Jonees job).  We have loved sharing our frogs with our senior and juniors friends as well❤️

Junior preschool:
The Juniors have been exploring their senses through a range of activities! This week, they focused on smell and touch. Using various spices from the kitchen, the Juniors had the opportunity to discover and compare different scents. They also added sand to the play dough, enhancing their sensory experience by exploring a variety of textures.

Senior preschool:
This week, Stephanie introduced Reading Eggs to the children as part of introducing our early literacy skills. We had a group discussions about how we use the computer safely and respectfully, and the children were excited to explore the computer. Together, we navigated a few activities, learning how to click, scroll, and interact with the games.

To all our wonderful teams! We thank you and appreciate you.

This week celebrating NAIDOC Week
The Nursery explored natural materials from our environment through a play dough experience.

The Junior room explored their sensory play through a painting experience using colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders flag. They then made ‘Bush Tucker Playdough’ using Lilly pillys and bush mint that we have growing in our gardens.

The Senior room explore the story ‘The rainbow serpent’ as they drew their own and used crayons to decorate it. They then explored cooking as they made a damper.

Our Junior room went for a walk to explore the land and our community with Kiya. Along the way we found beautiful flowers on the ground.

In the Junior room we are exploring visual literacy and sensory integration using the story ‘we’re going on a bear hunt’. 🐻

Harvesting veggies from our Nursery Garden.

Today we received our stingless bees from Mel at Sydney Stingless Bess. We have Tetragonula carbonaria, or Sugarbag bees, which are commonly found along the east coast. After the hive was set up, Mel spoke with the children about the bees and what to expect. They had such great questions for her and we are really excited to investigate where our new bees like to explore.
