August News

Welcome!

 Hello and welcome to our August edition of Jellybean News! We have certainly had a fun few weeks here at the Centre. We would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new families that have recently joined us, we hope that you enjoy your time here. As most of you are aware the Centre has limited places available and sometimes we may not be able to offer extra days. In the event that you need an extra day please send me an email and I will do my best to accommodate the days required. If your child is going to be absent please let the Centre know at your earliest convenience, this includes holidays and sick days. I would just like to remind everyone about the importance of arriving by 9.30am each day. Unfortunately we have several families that arrive after 11am each day which sadly limits the time the children can interact with the morning activities. Please aim to have your child here at the Centre by 9.30am. 

Book Week Celebrations! 

Over the week starting the 20th August we will be celebrating Book Week at Jellybeans. Please feel free to dress your child in their favorite character from their favorite book. The children have all enjoyed the cut out that was kindly donated towards the Centre. Please feel free to take your own photos with your children but please be mindful that the prop does not get damaged.

 Multi-cultural Food Day!

​A special thanks to these wonderful Educators for cooking up a storm to share with their fellow Educators. Each Educator was encouraged to prepare a dish that represented their ethnic background. Such a variety of food was prepared that tasted wonderful! Ross from Revolution Learning enjoyed prepping his very own Traditional Vietnamese Spring Roll. 

Farmer Week News! 

Wow! What a week this has been! The children and Educators have all participated in Farmers week this week dressing up and donating $5.00 towards the Farmers. So far we have raised over $200 with our donations. This will be donated towards a farmer in need. Miss Veronica has taken some beautiful photos of the Farmers all dressed out, so please keep an eye out for these. 

Date Night News! 

Our Date Night raised $350! This is being donated to a Farmer in need who resides in Charleville. They have requested some IGA vouchers that they can utilize within their own community, which will support someone in need once again. A special thanks to the wonderful Educators that assisted with the night and those families that allowed us to watch your little cherubs. We can't wait to do it again.  

Nursery 1 News! 

Welcome to Nursery 1 room newsletter!!!

We would to like to introduce our new friends, Giovanni, Joshua, Levi, Manaia and Summer. We hope that you enjoy being part of our special family.

The month of August has been very eventful in the Nursery 1 room, with the EKKA in particular. The children have been exploring and learning through various planned and spontaneous activities relating to the EKKA & farm animals. We also came to the centre dressed as a farmer for celebrating 'Fiver for a farmer appeal week'.

Our little children were enthusiastic learners, they enjoyed reading and listening to the different stories each day such as "Old Macdonald had farm", "Spot goes to the farm" and "The three little pigs."

The children have also been able to participate and develop skills in various areas around the room including indoor and outdoor play. Most babies are confident on their feet and are very eager to use the walkers to move around.

We would just like to give a friendly reminder to pack spare clothes for your child and clearly labelled all your child's belongings.

Nursery 1 room would like to wish all our fathers a very happy father's day!!!

Thank you for entrusting your little ones to our care!!!

Yours Sincerely,

Jasmine and Ruby!!

Nursery 2 News! 

 Hello from Nursery 2. Another month has flown by and we have said goodbye to Georgia, DJ, Lewis,Anh,Stephan and Myla who have moved to the Toddler rooms. It is great to see them having fun in their new rooms. We would like to welcome Finn, Maddie, Connor and Jace from Nursery 1. A special welcome to Zayana and Nathan who have recently joined our room. The children are having fun exploring their new room and investigating all the different toys and activities provided as the children reach their various milestones.

A big thank you to Leah and her family for sharing some of their cultural dances, songs and musical instruments with us during Naidoc week celebrations. The children and staff all thoroughly enjoyed the performance. We have also been busy doing craft activities to celebrate Naidoc week.

This week has been Farmer Week. As well as helping to raise some much needed funds to help the farmers we have dressed up as farmers and enjoyed a variety of farm related songs stories and art and craft activities.

At the moment even though the mornings are still quite chilly the days are warming up so please send a change of clothes along so we can change the children as the day warms.

Until next time Miss Margaret and Miss Nittaya
