This term is very busy, there is so much to celebrate in the world around us.
The overarching goal and theme present in our planning will be community. We will have weeks celebrating Halloween/ Diwali, the Melbourne Cup/ Remembrance Day, Worldwide Recycling Week, and of course Christmas. The last 3 weeks have already been so much fun with the children choosing week 2 to be full of Pokemon fun, we made real-life Poke balls from paper plates, and some imagination along with cubed Pokemon such as Charizard and Bulbasaur.
Week 3 was all about nursery rhymes, music, and movement in honor of World Nursery Rhyme Week happening the 11th- 15th of November, during that week we will be participating in Recycling Week which we felt was a super important week to celebrate. We took inspiration from Jack and Jill and had a race for water which ended with a super fun little water fight for us to cool off with.
Book for next week's Halloween funky fresh activities.

The last school holidays were FANTASTIC we went to the circus, and the excitement to see the crazy silly dogs and the epic motorbike was at an all time high. Time zone was a blast we played almost too many games it was awesome. My personal favorite days were the in-house fun, the crafts these kids created blew me away especially the fashion show where the children worked in groups to create a recycled clothing line and tested it down the runway.
School term breaks (holiday) care is available each weekday (with the exception of public holidays), with the following hours of operation:

In order to run an effective and personalized program rely on community involvement.
