Mount Archer Farm Kids

We believe that children should have the opportunity to explore their world, be part of their community and celebrate important days like Christmas, Easter and other cultural events that are important to our families.

We were so lucky to have a visit from the Villeneuve Rural fire brigade and Santa just recently. Our children were absolutely over the moon to have them visit. We were all waiting outside as Santa came up the drive in the fire truck. Santa brought lollies for all of the children, while Jacob showed us the clothes that the fire fighters wear and gave us some tips to keep us safe in the event of a fire. We even got a chance to spray the fire hose. That definitely was the highlight of the day for Miss Savvy. We also had two lovely ladies, who are also members of the fire brigade who came along to help them. All of the people who came, are volunteers and gave up their own time to visit with us. I cannot thank Villeneuve Rural fire brigade enough for an amazing visit and more importantly, for the work they do to keep our homes and properties safe.

Dear Parents

School is about to start so please sit down with your child for 5 minutes and explain that being very tall, short, chubby, skinny, black or white is no joke.
That there is nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes every day. Explain to them that a used backpack carries the same dreams as a new one.
Teach them not to exclude someone because they are "different" or do not have the same opportunities as others. Explain that teasing hurts...and that they go to school to LEARN, NOT to compete.

YOU AND I HAVE THE SAME VALUE! EDUCATION STARTS AT HOME...
It's *AT HOME* that children should learn to say:
01 - Good morning
02 - Good afternoon
03 - Good evening
04 - Please
05 - With your permission
06 - Sorry
07 - Forgive me
08 - Thank you very much
09 - Thank you
10 - I was wrong

It's *AT HOME* that we also learn to:
01 - Be honest
02 - Be punctual
03 - Do not insult
04 - Be polite
05 - Respect everyone: friends, colleagues, elders, teachers, authorities

Still *at home* we learn to:
01 - Eat everything
02 - Do not talk with your mouth full
03 - Have personal hygiene
04 - Don't throw litter on the ground
05 - Help parents with their daily chores
06 - Don't take what doesn't belong to you
07 - Be content with what you have
08 - Work honestly to earn a living
09 - Dress with modesty

*At home* we still learn to:
01 - Get organized
02 - Take care of your belongings
03 - Do not touch other people's belongings
0 4 - Respect the rules,
05 - Speak your mother tongue(s), master your culture and spirituality

Because *AT SCHOOL* teachers should teach: ■ Mathematics ■ History ■ Geography ■ English ■ Science ■ Chemistry ■ Physics ■ Biology ■ Philosophy ■ Physical education ■ Art... And only reinforce what the student has learned *AT HOME*!!! Because it is from what we have learned *AT HOME* that the individual will be respected, that he will respect life.

Each child is subscribed to the ABC eggs Reading and Maths Seeds program. This gives children a fun grounding in literacy and numeracy. This program is used by many Queensland schools. We have very little screen time on the farm, so we make sure that screen time is productive time.

Farm school has started for 2024. It is so exciting to be able to help working families give their children the “home school” experience with support from farm kids.

What a fabulous way for our farm kids to chill out on a hot day.
