Learning about bush fires!

Today being a near 40 degree day, the Kinder room children began to discuss and envisage fires burning across our lands and engaged in a cutting and pasting activity creating a bush fire scene depicting burnt out trees in black and colouring in using the colours of fire. A few children also wanted to draw animals fleeing the burning bush lands.
This discussion, although difficult is about something many in Australia are facing and learning about it in a supportive environment with caring educators was a wonderful thing to see.

Did you know just 1% of 2-3 year olds eat the required serves of vegetables a day?


Eating habits are instilled from a young age and often these habits are carried through to adulthood. All early childhood education and care service staff are in a unique position to support children's development and growth and to promote good eating habits and we do this every day with strategies you too can adopt at home!

Top tips for promoting healthy eating:

* make mealtimes relaxed and comfortable
* sit and eat with your children
* be positive about the healthy foods your children are eating
* mix it up - serve a variety of nutritious choices and introduce * new foods
* have a food of the week
* encourage fussy eaters to try new foods
* When making sauces or pastries etc put in loads of vegetables with them cut small!
* being a positive role model with the foods you eat
* teach the children about healthy eating through discussions, questions, games and activities
* be patient, it may take 10-15 tries before children accept a new food
* Don't put too much pressure on children to eat!

As we continue to focus on sustainability, children created their own Christmas tree by using recycle boxes. They painted the different sizes of recycled boxes with green colour paint, then they made the Christmas tree with the helping of educators. At last they decorated it with ornaments which were created by the juniors. So proud of you all! It looks magnificent! ... See MoreSee Less
