The Emus at Kindalin Kellyville Ridge have been continuing to focus on their name writing over the past few months. They have been busy in the writing centre using the different resources to practise their letter and name recognition. Name cards have been used throughout the daily routine and transitions allowing them to look closely at each of the letters that make up their names.

At Kindalin Kellyville Ridge the Playful Possums have been busy exploring the home corner and engaging in socio-dramatic play as they care for their babies. The Possums have been roleplaying as mums, dads and educators as they feed, wash, dress and pat the dolls to sleep. Through dramatic play experiences, educators continue to support the children in developing pro-social skills including sharing, inclusivity and awareness and understanding of cultural diversity.

To continue the Wonderful Wombats growing interest in dramatic play. They have been taking on roles from members of their own family/community. This provided the Wonderful Wombats with increasing opportunities and resources to explore/represent their imagination and social thinking skills.

The Emus started the sun safe week by ensuring their sunscreen was applied thoroughly throughout the day. They were encouraged to use the mirrors at the sunscreen stations to assist them in applying their own lotion. As the weather is warming up, we will be discussing the importance of applying sunscreen, wearing our hats and drinking plenty of water throughout the day. A friendly reminder to make sure your child has a hat each day and that sunscreen is applied in the morning.

The Wombats greeted Miss Maree with big smiles and hellos today as we settled into our seats for the art session. Before beginning, Miss Maree talked to us about printing and demonstrated how she created a picture of a tree on a piece of foam by using a pencil, rolling green paint on it and then pushing it hard onto a piece of paper creating a print. The Wombats were eager to give it a try themselves and were encouraged to think of something they wanted to print on their foam. We saw trees, rainbows, shapes, self-portraits and many more great works of art.

The Wombats continued to show a great interest and lots of enthusiasm when participating in group games with ‘Soccer Pat’. It was great to see the children clapping and cheering for their teammates. This game was a great way to show the Wombats, that sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t. As long as we try our best it doesn’t matter if we win or not. The Wombats laughed, sharing enjoyment and humour as the games continued. Thanks for visiting Pat, we look forward to our next visit!

The Emus have been participating in various outdoor activities, helping enhance their gross motor development. The children were involved in a soccer activity using the soccer goal post and a ball. The children demonstrated their ability to listen to the rules and instructions of the game and each took turns in practising kicking the ball into the goal. Hand-eye coordination was a focus as they aimed the ball into the goal. The Emus cheered alongside their friends when they scored and had a lot of fun!
