TheirCare News

Hi parents, guardians, staff, and friends! Welcome to Week 4 of Term 2.

We would like to begin by acknowledging the Traditional Owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, and pay our respect to their Elders, past, present, and emerging.

This week, we’re excited to welcome new families and children joining us at TheirCare. We’re so happy to have you as part of our community!

Our focus this week is “Road and Safety". We kicked off the week with some fun and educational activities around this theme. The children enjoyed using colouring sheets featuring various road safety signs, helping them learn and recognise important symbols and their meanings. Some children recalled seeing the sign near the back gate that reads “STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, THINK” - a great example of how they’re applying what they learn in real-life settings. On Monday, the children coloured in common road safety signs like Stop, Give Way, and Pedestrian Crossing. This helped them learn to identify the signs by shape and colour. We brought the learning outdoors with a road safety roleplay session on the oval. Children took turns being pedestrians, cars, and traffic supervisors, learning to STOP, LOOK, LISTEN, and THINK before crossing. Also, this week the children enjoyed taking turns creating loom bands, challenging each other to see who could make the longest one. Out on the oval, we had a great time playing a variety of sports, including soccer, footy, down ball, basketball, and cricket.
