Today we harvested some delicious snow peas and sugar snap peas from our garden, from seeds the children planted. It's been a great learning experience to see the plants grow from seed to vegetable! The children were able to try one if they wanted one- for some it was a first try! There are still many flowers left on the plants, so more peas to enjoy later!

Did you know this week in Early Learning Matters week? It aims to to highlight the significant role that early learning plays in laying the foundation for future success and to emphasise the value of quality early childhood education and care.

At Vera Lacaze, we hope to instill in children the confidence to embrace learning, take risks, and navigate the world with a sense of assurance and optimism.

Just before the school holidays, the firefighters came to visit our kindy! They showed the children the kind of equipment they use, and what they look like with their gear on (so the children wouldn't be scared if they ever encountered them in a fire situation).

The best part was, everyone got to spray the hose!!

Engaging with helpers in our community is an important part of our kindy year.

Did you know we offer a Junior Kindy program for children who've turned three before the middle of the year? This is a great opportunity for those children who are ready to learn to play with others, but are not quite old enough for kindy yet.

This week we welcomed Michelle from Bugs Ed to kindy to learn some fascinating facts about insects. She brought her amazing collection of pinned insects, plus a praying mantis, leaf insect and stick insect. The children even got to hold one if they wanted to. Such an interesting experience!
