Mighty Mouse Family Day Care

The sun is out! Do you know what that means?

OUTDOOR FUN!!

Have a great day everyone 🥰

The children are loving our down on the farm tree house exploring.

Incorporating the tree house and the wooden people have been a big hit children use the people to explore different areas in the farm.

An Arachnophobics worse nightmare, a children’s dream fun!

Check out these sticky spiders and their web, the children choose a colour they wish to play with and throw them onto the web trying to make as many spiders stick as possible!

Most spiders wins 🕷

This activity focuses on the use of Fine motor skill is the coordination of small muscles in movement with the eyes, usually involving the synchronisation of hands and fingers.

Elfie & Snowflake looked must have been hungry last night and buttered themselves a sandwich 🥪

Did they put too much vegemite on, or would you have put more? 😋

Learning about the animals down on the farm.

As we explore the farm the kids will be able to recognise and identify common farm animals.
The kids will know the mother, father, and baby names for common farm animal families (e.g, hen, rooster, and chick are all part of the chicken family)
The kids will know the sounds made by common farm animals
The kids will know what kinds of products we get from farm animals

Children gain a great deal of enjoyment from playing in the sandpit. Scooping, pouring and moulding aid the development of their fine motor skills, while digging and raking assists their gross motor skills development.

Combing Small World Play with the sandpit allows the children use their hands to engage with little creatures, dolls or scenes, using their heart and head to express knowledge of the environment around them in a creative way.

On Sunday we decided to give the back veranda a little revamp, giving the children many more activities to choose from and explore as they become confident and involved learners.

OUTCOME 4: CHILDREN ARE CONFIDENT AND INVOLVED LEARNERS

A sense of security and sound wellbeing gives children the confidence to experiment and explore and to try out new ideas, thus developing their competence and becoming active and involved participants in learning. Children are more likely to be confident and involved learners when their family and community experiences and understandings are recognised and included in the early childhood setting. This assists them to make connections and to make sense of new experiences.

Children use processes such as exploration, collaboration and problem solving across all aspects of curriculum. Developing dispositions such as curiosity, persistence and creativity enables children to participate in and gain from learning. Effective learners are also able to transfer and adapt what they have learned from one context to another and to locate and use resources for learning.

In a supportive active learning environment, children who are confident and involved learners are increasingly able to take responsibility for their own learning, personal regulation and contribution to the social environment. Connections and continuity between learning experiences in different settings make learning more meaningful and increase children’s feelings of belonging.

Children develop understandings of themselves and their world through active, hands-on investigation. A supportive active learning environment encourages children’s engagement in learning which can be recognised as deep concentration and complete focus on what captures their interests. Children bring their being to their learning. They have many ways of seeing the world, different processes of learning and their own preferred learning styles.
Active involvement in learning builds children’s understandings of concepts and the creative thinking and inquiry processes that are necessary for lifelong learning. They can challenge and extend their own thinking, and that of others, and create new knowledge in collaborative interactions and negotiations. Children’s active involvement changes what they know, can do, value and transforms their learning.
