Early Learners

Welcome Families to our Early Learners Room! We have had a wonderful past few months in our room as all of the children have reached milestones and continuing tolerant, grow and play. We have engaged in a lot of sensory play, exploring different textures, playing with bubbles, as well as having fun with water and sand. We have had so much fun dancing and singing to many nursery rhymes. We focused on the different types of animals such as Australian animals in recognition of Australia Day. We have fare welled some friends who have moved up to Junior Early Years, as well as welcoming new friends and families to the centre. We love interacting with your children and watching as they continue to grow, develop, and reach milestones. We are very excited for the coming months as our centre celebrates upcoming events! If you have any questions or ideas please feel free to let us know!

Thank you, Miss Cheri and Miss Benita.

Junior Early Years

Welcome to Junior Early Years Room! We have had so much fun and engaged in lots of learning experiences during December, January and February. The children made lovely Christmas gifts for their families and learnt some new Christmas songs. During January, we focused on Australian animals which related to our Australia Day theme. We also continued developing our skills in colour recognition, letters, numbers and shapes.

During February, the children began familiarizing themselves with a range of different body parts, naming their own eyes, mouths, noses, and ears. Most of the children showed an interest in dinosaurs, which supported their learning as we explored the topic through a range of experiences and investigations. The children have also been working on developing pencil and hand grip through scissor and colouring activities.

Thank you, Miss Jill, Miss Maddison and Miss Torrie.

Early Years

Welcome Parents, Caregivers and Friends to our first Newsletter for the Year! In the Early Years Room during December, we focused on helping some of our friends who transitioned up to the Pre-Prep room as well as continuing our learning of basic shapes, colours and numbers. We also joined in on our Christmas celebrations through singing, listening to Christmas songs and plenty of arts and crafts.

Over the past few months, we have celebrated some exciting events, we joined in celebrating Australia Day through pictures, decorations, easel painting and listening to Australian songs and singing along to the Australian National Anthem. We have celebrating 'Waitangi day' with our friends through art work, various activities as well as traditional music. We have had so much fun during 'Chinese new year' and sharing our love to our families During 'Valentine day' celebrations.

Each we week during these months we have continued with the learning of our shapes, colours, numbers and enhanced our self-help skills through toilet training, making our beds and packing away after meals and play. We are looking forward to start identifying our names and expand our learning of our shapes, colours and numbers as well as extending on the children interests each day.

We would like to thank all our families for your continued support, if you have any input or ideas for our learning programming please fell free speak to one of us as we love to hear from you!

Thank you, Miss Christina, Miss Michelle and Mr. Hayden.

Pre-Prep

Welcome to our Pre-Prep families, existing, new and families of the children who have transitioned up from the Early Years Room in January. We look forward to building strong and positive relationships with your children as we assist in preparing them for school in 2022.

December saw a month full of fun, Christmas crafts, activities, and new traditions in thePre-Prep. We embedded Advent Reading, which is a tradition where Miss Courtney wrapped Christmas themed books and each day a different child was able to unwrap a book that we then read together as a class. The children also made lots of wonderful gifts for their families that were greatly appreciated.

During January, we fare welled our Pre-Prep's that ventured off to big school and welcomed some new friends. We spent some time getting to know one another and embedding new routines before we started focusing on our Kindergarten curriculum for the year. Each week the children will explore a new letter, number, shape and colour which will assist in building upon foundational academic skills required for formal schooling.

We have also engaged in a number of celebrations such as Australia Day, Waitangi Day, Chinese New Year, and Valentine's Day. During these celebrations, the children engaged in discussions as well as craft activities in recognition of different cultures and traditions.

During the month of February, the Pre-Prep class participated in a 'containers for change' recycling program. The funds raised will go towards setting up a vegetable garden at the centre - the 'Kidi Kingdom Community Patch', which will provide families with access to fresh herbs and vegetables. This is a great sense initiative and will help teach the children about the importance of recycling, sustainability, as well a living things that you can find in garden soil. Any donations of 10 cent recyclable containers will kindly be accepted into the pink tub at the front of the centre.

Thank you, Miss Courtney & Miss Kara.

Before and After School Care / Vacation Care

A big welcome to 2021 to our Before, After School Care and Vacation Care Families! During December and January, we had a number of children attend Vacation Care. The children participated in several excursions including bowling, Robelle Domain Water Park, Flagstone Adventure Park, and Bob Gamble Park. The children displayed great teamwork and communication skills and built some wonderful friendships with one another. We look forward to having all of our schoolies return forthe Kidi Kingdom Easter Vacation Care in April.

In January, the children returned back to school after a great holiday break. We welcomed some new Before and After School Care children who were Pre-Prep's children in 2020 and have been building new relationships and getting to know one another while transitioning into Before and After School care routines. Our educators look forward to continuing to build relationships with our schoolies and their families in 2021.

 Thank you, Miss Sandy.
