🎆 Fireworks Through Science and Art 🎨
At Maroubra Playtime Child Care Centre, our children explored a unique fireworks experience using food colouring and a liquid base, combining creativity with early science learning. This is a timely activity for us to recognise the Holi Festival. As the colours spread and formed firework-like patterns, the children observed how liquids move and interact — introducing them to basic concepts of cause and effect, chemical reactions, and colour mixing.
Through this hands-on experience, children strengthened their curiosity, observation skills, and creativity while experimenting with different colours and watching them burst and swirl like fireworks. Activities like this encourage children to ask questions, predict outcomes, and explore the world through play and discovery.
Moments like these turn simple materials into meaningful learning opportunities.
Maroubra Playtime Child Care Centre celebrates 11 wonderful years of learning, laughter, and growing together. Thank you to our families, children, and dedicated educators who have been part of this journey and helped make our centre what it is today. Here’s to the memories we’ve shared and the many more still to come 💛
🌋 Dolphins Room – Volcano Eruption Experiment
Children explored cause and effect as they discovered what happens when vinegar meets baking soda. This hands-on STEM activity supported their curiosity and understanding of reactions, and linked perfectly with our ongoing Dinosaur World project.
🧪 Learning through play: Children discovered how actions create reactions
✋ Hands-on science: Showed how materials interact
🌱 Curiosity in action: Encouraged investigation and problem-solving

As Australia Day approaches, we take this time to reflect, listen and learn.
At Maroubra Playtime Early Education Centre, we extend our deepest respect to the Traditional Owners and enduring custodians of this land — the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We honour their continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and recognise that this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
Some of you may remember meeting our friend Echidna in last year’s posts 🦔. This little character is such a beautiful symbol of Australia! As one of the world’s very few egg-laying mammals, the short-beaked echidna represents the uniqueness of Australian wildlife, our rich biodiversity, and the resilience and adaptability found across this land.
Echidnas also hold significance in Indigenous culture and are a familiar part of modern Australian identity — making Echidna a meaningful way for children to connect with Australia’s story through learning, curiosity and respect.
We look forward to exploring this together with our Maroubra Playtime learning community.

🌟 Child Protection Week at Maroubra Playtime Child Care Centre 🌟
This week our little learners explored two very important safety lessons:
🐬 Dolphins Room
The children learned about consent and body safety. We discussed how it’s perfectly okay to say “No” to hugs, kisses, or touches if they don’t feel comfortable. 💛 We encouraged them to use their voices confidently and reminded them: “My body is my body, and it belongs to me.”
🦘 Joeys Room
Our Joeys explored the role of emergency services in Australia 🚓🚑🏊♂️. They learned that police officers, paramedics, and lifeguards are trusted helpers who can keep them safe. We also spoke about what to do if they ever get lost or can’t see mum or dad nearby.
✨ Big or small, these lessons help our children build confidence, awareness, and safety skills for life.
