FROM THE OFFICE
We have had a very busy term here at the Early Learning Centre! Our Assessment and Rating
visit was conducted on 22 and 23 June and we
will receive the results at the end of July. As
Term Three approaches, our centre numbers
are increasing. If you wish to add extra days
please see me in the office. Please note Monday 20 July is a pupil free day for the school.
There are some fantastic parenting courses
available to families from July 2015 onwards.
Please keep a look out for the flyers around
the centre and in our family library. If you are
interested in a particular topic, please see an
Educator and we will source some information
for you.
The children are very excited as they have
been watching the progression of our new playground! Once the backyard has been completed, work will begin on the front yard. Please be
aware that access to the centre during that
time will be restricted to the back gates/door.

NUMERACY CORNER
This month we have been focusing on encouraging children to express their emotions and feelings. We use the red and
green words/actions strategy to help children understand if their words/actions
are appropriate. This, in turn, assists the
children to express their feelings about
their peers’ actions, which is something
they are becoming more confident in do-
‘Up’, ‘down’ and ‘next to’ are
about position
ing. If you would like to encourage this at
home and would like some more information, please see myself or one of the
other educators.
What we do and what it means
Mum: Down we go!
LOOK WHAT WE HAVE
BEEN UP TO!
When we talk about ‘up’ and ‘down’,
‘over’ and ‘next to’, children are
learning about the position of something.
Over time children learn that there
are words (for example upside down,
next to, behind) which describe position.
Later, children learn to pay attention
to position, order and direction.
They are key ideas in mathematics.
HEALTHY EATING...
Have you seen our new winter menu display on the front window? We have recently
reviewed our menu to ensure we are providing your children with healthy options for
breakfast and late snack. We would like you to assist us in our healthy eating discussions by providing your children with healthy options in their lunch boxes. We know
that it is not always easy thinking of new and exciting lunch box ideas so we have
collected some resources from ‘SNAC’ and they are on display in the family area.
Please remember to also put a cold pack in your child’s lunch box to ensure food is
safe to eat.
CAROL’S CORNER
The OSHC children and staff would
like to say a huge thank you to
Mr Stilwell for setting up our worm
farm. It was very much appreciated
by all of us! The children are going out
to the worm farm every day with the
scraps of food left over from afternoon tea.
Please remember the school holidays
begin next week so all holiday programs booking forms are now due to
be returned to the centre.
The children are looking forward to
Science Alive, the Gym bus, the movies and Chipmunks as well as the inside
and outside play and activities at the
center. We hope to see you in the holidays!
Here are some photos of our inside play experiences…
We enjoy construction with Lego
and creating spinning tops using
the Knex. We have set up restaurants and picnics using the
home corner and we are even
making our own recipe book for
the home corner! (see right).
Over the past few weeks in OSHC, the children
have taken an extended interest in all things science! The children have been investigating and
experimenting with electricity, invisible ink and
solar energy.
We have also enjoyed learning about the life cycles of frogs, bees and birds! We have learnt
about pollination and the important role bees
play in the process.
Here are our menus we have recreated. We have added family
favourites and healthy options.
