 Wominjeka Everyone,

Senior Cooking Project Update 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Following on from last week’s exciting launch of our Senior Cooking Project, our senior children have already begun taking on new responsibilities and showing wonderful leadership skills within the program.

Last week, the seniors were very excited to make their own milkshakes after helping the educators with kitchen duties. Through group discussions, the children worked together to create a shared checklist so everyone knows how they can contribute and support the kitchen space without overwhelming the educators managing the area.

The children proudly took on responsibilities such as drying dishes, sweeping the indoor and outdoor dining areas, wiping tables, and even collecting rubbish from the floor. Don’t worry — all children used appropriate protective equipment, including gloves, while helping with these tasks.

This project is becoming so much more than cooking. It is providing opportunities for the children to build independence, teamwork, responsibility, communication, and care for their environment and community.

A very big shout-out to all our amazing Seniors for the enthusiasm, initiative, and maturity they have shown — especially during these challenging times while our dishwasher is “taking a little break”! We could not be prouder of the leadership and teamwork our senior children are demonstrating each day.

🤸 Tumbling with Tara! 🤸

Get ready to jump, roll, balance and tumble with Tara every Wednesday from 4:00pm – 5:00pm!

This exciting program gives children the opportunity to build confidence, coordination, strength and teamwork through fun movement-based activities and beginner gymnastics skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Whether your child loves cartwheels, stretching, balancing or simply moving their body and having fun with friends, Tumbling with Tara is a fantastic way to stay active after school!

🗓 Every Wednesday⏰ 4:00pm – 5:00pm

We can’t wait to see our children flipping, tumbling and having fun together!
