Message from the Educational Program Leader |
|
Welcome
Valued Coomera Families!
I hope you
all had a wonderful winter! I've been seeing special
moments being made in all of the classrooms and beautiful
bonds created between the children and their peers and
educators.
I have been working with our outstanding
educators in creating more welcoming and stimulating
environments based on your child's strengths, interest and
needs. We had a great time during Book Week at the
end of August! To strengthen the children's growing love for
books, our educators have been engaging in one-on-one
conversational reading with the children and focusing on
various themes explored in each classroom's "Book of the
Week".
A friendly
reminder, you can stay up to date with classroom news and
events via the
Hubhello App.
Kind
Regards, Ms Stephanette Roaché, Educational Program
Leader.

Welcome
Valued Centre Families,
We would
like to take this opportunity to welcome our new children
into the room, Teddi and Jai ! Our Early Learners have had a
very exciting last three months, the classroom focus has been on learning our colours.
We have
had lots of fun exploring colours through painting, sensory
play, reading, colour sorting and songs. Over the last few
months all of the children have met new milestones. Some
have begun talking, crawling, walking, standing, and
recognising various colours.
Our
children are developing new skills as they participate in
learning experiences that support their developing
personalities. It is great to see so much engagement in
these experiences from the children at this young age and we
look forward to sharing these amazing learning developments
and milestones with our families.

Kind
Regards, Miss Courtney and Miss Gracie. |

Welcome
Families to the Junior Early Years Room!
What a
fascinating time we have had!
During
this quarter, we celebrated so many events in the Junior's
Early Years Room. While celebrating National Reconciliation
Week and Naidoc Week, the children acknowledged and
understood the histories, cultures, and contributions of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The
children were also thrilled to have a picnic outdoors with
their teddy bears. The educators created an amazing cosy
environment by adding tents, balloons, slinkies, bubbles,
party whistles and various picnic themed snacks. The
toddlers sat in small groups enjoying the food and sharing
conversation with each other and their cherished teddy
bears.
Other
celebrations participated in include; National Best Friends
Day, Yoga Day, and Aunt's and Uncle's Morning Tea. These
events provided various opportunities for our toddlers to
grow and learn about their community and the world around
them.
Every week
we chose new topics to explore with children by doing
different activities. We made sure to create a safe and
secure environment for children during these fun
experiences.
This month
of August, we have incredible and infinite ideas for
National Children's Day, National Red Rose Day, National
Science Week, and Children's Book Week. We cannot wait to be
involved in all these events as we all are super excited.
Our
learning has been moving forward with a range of
opportunities available. Our young children grasped new
information on emotions, feelings, sea animals, wild
animals, domestic animals, face parts, body parts, shapes,
numbers, and alphabets. All these brilliant subjects have
helped to keep our toddlers interested and stimulated,
keeping these fast-paced little human's going, with no
intention of slowing down developing their growing brains
and bodies!
Kind
Regards, Miss Puneet, Miss Harman and Miss Amber.

Dear
Valued Families of the Senior Early Years Room,
We trust
you had a nice winter this year. Welcome to the
Senior Early Years Room newsletter, we are excited to share
what your children have been up to and what's coming up
next!
The
children have been actively engaged in our Winter program.
They have enjoyed indoor and outdoor activities ranging from
creative crafts, sensory activities and storytelling
sessions. We have been celebrating cultures and histories by
engaging in dreamtime storytelling, connecting with country
and Music, dance and art. Our Yarning circles have been busy
and joyful, the children are focusing on emotional
recognition, listening to stories and reflecting on ideas
through conversation, colour recognition and counting
numbers each day.
We will
continue to learn and develop based on our age appropriate
topics in the next coming months...
Appreciation and respect for others including ourselves and
the natural environment. We look forward to celebrating more
special events and making more wonderful memories in our
classroom!
Kind
Regards, Ms Mayu, Ms Astrid and Ms Amie. |
Kindergarten Room |
Greetings
Kindergarten Families,
The
Kindergarten children have been busy bees in the classroom
this past semester! We have engaged in so many stimulating
experiences, activities and events, the children are always
engaged in exciting learning experiences.
The
children have been focused on letter recognition, number
recognition, phonics, practising & strengthening their
writing skills in preparation for the transition to primary
school. We are super learners and the children are always
eager to share their knowledge and skills with their
educators and peers.
Our
yarning circles have been a great success, all the children
are actively involved in stimulating conversations about
various topics of interest and discovering new things about
their world.
Your trash
is our treasure! If you have any recyclable goods at home
like cardboard boxes, empty milk containers, tissue boxes
please donate to our classroom! Recyclable materials are
perfect for the children's Creation station where we use
these items for art and craft projects.
Kind
Regards, form the Kindergarten Classroom. |
School Care Room & School
Holiday Care Program |
Welcome
Valued Families of School Care,
Our before
and after school care children have been having so much fun
at the centre. This term's current interest the children are
all things Science! We have been participating in some very
cool science experiments. In the mornings and afternoons,
the school care children have been eager to help create
stimulating obstacle courses and learning spaces for the
long day care children in our outdoor playgrounds. It is
fantastic to see the school children's enthusiasm and
responsibility, the guidance and support from the educators
has been rewarding for all involved. And the younger
children really enjoy the dynamic obstacle courses provided
in the outdoor playgrounds.
Kind
Regards, Miss Rachael.

Cooking with Children!
Mini Cinnamon Scrolls |
 |
Super easy ● 1:30 mins Prep
Time ● 0:15 mins Cooking Time
Ingredients
● 225 ml milk
● 75 g unsalted butter
● 425 g plain flour sifted
● 70 g caster sugar
● 1/2 tsp sea salt
● 10 g fast action dried yeast |
FOR THE FILLING
● 75 g butter softened
● 50 g caster sugar
● 2 tsp ground cinnamon
FOR THE ICING
● 1/2 cup icing sugar sifted
● 1 tbsp milk |

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
2. Heat the milk and butter in a small pan until
it almost comes to a boil, then take it off the heat
and allow it to cool down. You don't want the milk
to be too hot when you add the yeast or it will
prevent it from rising.
3. Mix together the flour, sugar and salt in a
large bowl. Add the yeast and stir to combine. Make
a well in the middle of the ingredients and add the
warm milk mixture. Mix everything together until the
dough starts pulling away from the side of the bowl.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set it aside in
a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make the filling. Mix together the
butter, sugar and cinnamon in a bowl until well
combined. Lightly spray two mini muffin trays with
oil, or grease with melted butter, and set aside.
5. Divide the dough into two pieces. Working
with one piece at a time, and using a rolling pin,
roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to
form a 20 cm x 30 cm rectangle. Spread 1/2 the filling
evenly over the rectangle. Roll it up using one of
the long edges to make a long cylinder shape.
6. Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled up dough
into 12 slices. Place each piece into a mini muffin
cup. Continue with the other piece of dough until
all the cups are filled. Cover the trays with oiled
plastic wrap and let the scrolls rise in a warm
place for 30-40 minutes, or until they've doubled in
size.
7. Bake the scrolls on the middle shelf of the
oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
the scrolls from their pan and let them rest on a
cooling rack while you prepare the icing.
8. To make the icing, whisk together the icing
sugar and milk in a small bowl. If it seems too
thick add a little more milk 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
Once you have a smooth, runny icing, drizzle it over
the scrolls. Allow the scrolls to set before
serving.
NOTES: Un-iced scrolls can be stored in
the freezer for up to 3 months.
