Goodstart Early Learning Mount Waverley

🚦 Road Safety Learning at Our Childcare Centre – Go & Stop Traffic Lights 🚦

The children have been learning all about road safety through the fun and important concept of traffic lights!

We discovered what each colour means:
🔴 Red means STOP – We stop, wait safely, and do not move onto the road.
🟡 Yellow means WAIT – We slow down, pay attention, and get ready to stop.
🟢 Green means GO – We only go when it is safe and always with an adult.

Through role play, games, and discussions, the children are learning that traffic lights help keep everyone safe when crossing roads.

We are also practising important safety steps:
👀 Stop, Look, Listen, and Think before crossing
🤝 Hold an adult’s hand near roads
🚶 Walk carefully and stay alert

Learning road safety early helps children build lifelong safe habits. Great job to all our little learners for being responsible road safety stars! 🌟

In the lead-up to Mother’s& Special Persons Day, the children have been busily preparing something very special for the important people in their lives. With excitement and care, they have been creating personalized cups, decorating plant pots, and designing heartfelt cards.

Each activity has been a wonderful opportunity for the children to express their creativity and thoughtfulness. They have taken great pride in choosing colours, adding drawings, and carefully crafting messages that reflect their love and appreciation.

These special handmade gifts are more than just beautiful creations they are meaningful expressions of gratitude and connection. We hope they bring joy and a smile to the faces of all the wonderful mothers and special people who receive them.

We wish everyone a very Happy Mother’s & Special Persons Day filled with love, warmth, and celebration.

ANZAC Day

The children enjoyed making traditional ANZAC biscuits, using oats and simple ingredients, while learning about the history and tradition behind this special recipe. This hands-on experience helped bring meaning to the day in an engaging and age-appropriate way.

We also created poppy artwork, exploring how poppies are used as a symbol of remembrance. Through painting and group discussions, the children were encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings.

It was a calm and reflective day, supporting the children to build awareness of this important occasion while engaging in creative and sensory experiences.

Lest we forget.

We are excited to share an update to our Centre Lending Library! 📚✨

As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting literacy and learning at home, we have added new resources focusing on water safety and eSafety. These topics are so important for supporting children’s wellbeing both in and out of the home.

Families are welcome to borrow these resources, enjoy them together, and return them for others to use. It’s a great way to build knowledge, spark conversations, and support your child’s learning journey.

Happy reading and exploring! 💛
