Wooden Colour Matching Game ❤️little learners using their eyes and hands to match colours ❤️💚💙

🐒 Jungle Sensory Adventures 💚💙Using green play dough and jungle animals, the children created their own miniature jungles, experimenting with textures and using their imaginations to bring their ideas to life. It was wonderful to see their curiosity and creativity shine throughout the experience💚

🐝 Buzz, buzz! Our babies and toddlers have been exploring the wonderful world of bees through hands-on learning, stories, and sensory play. 🌼

As they discovered how bees help flowers grow, children developed curiosity, observation skills, and an appreciation for nature. 💛🌿

Today, our children participated in a meaningful National Sorry Day experience as we reflected on the importance of respect, kindness, and understanding.

Using their handprints and natural colours inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, the children worked together to create a beautiful collaborative poster. Through stories, discussions, and creative expression, children explored the ideas of belonging, connection, and caring for one another.

We are proud of the thoughtful conversations and creativity shown by our young learners as we continue to build understanding and respect for Australia’s First Nations peoples and cultures.

What happens when the light moves? 🔦✨

Children explored light and shadow through hands-on STEAM learning, making predictions, testing ideas, and discovering how shadows change and move.

Influenza (flu) is serious but isn’t as scary if you’re vaccinated. A flu vaccine offers families and children the best protection from serious illness.

The yearly flu vaccine is free for children aged 6 months to under 5 years, Aboriginal children aged 6 months and over, and children with serious health conditions. It is recommended for everyone aged six months and over.

Children aged 2 - 4 years old can get a free nasal spray flu vaccine in NSW. It is gentle, painless, and needle-free.
