What an amazing year we have had together!

Let's take a look back at Term 4 . . .

Lizard Wizard!

This incursion provides the perfect opportunity to bridge the divide between children and nature.

The children were captivated and delighted throughout this incursion. It was fun, informative but most importantly it was hands on!

We got to met a turtle, a green tree frog, a diamond python, a frilled neck lizard and a blue tongue lizard.

The children showed such a huge interest and listened in awe when told about what the animals eat, where they live and how they liked to be held.

Then with much bravery the children chose to either pat or hold their new friend!

Halloween!

We had so much fun having a little look at Halloween. The children loved singing along to the baby shark Halloween version. Caitlyn made a spooky sensory tub for the children to explore. We made spooky play dough monsters, used tongs to collect (fake) spiders, pasted skeletons out of cotton buds and had so much fun dressing up!

Numeracy!

Numeracy was our focus goal for Term 4. Most of the children can confidently count from 1-10 and some even from 10-20. But we were also focusing on patterns, sequencing, shapes, measurements - concepts such as heavy and light/ full and empty/ big and small. The children embraced this learning through our table experiences, sensory trays, stories and songs.

Christmas!

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”

We have had so much fun over the last few weeks exploring so many Christmas experiences.

Issy and KK filled the room with so much Christmas joy through their many art and craft experiences. Caitlyn and Nicole had a great time making sensory snow and Kathleen created a fabulous Christmas magnet experience which was so engaging to the children.

We made reindeer play dough, had a reindeer food sensory tray and loved decorating the Christmas tree together.

We counted down the days to Christmas with excitement and loved dancing together to the Christmas songs.

We wish everyone an absolutely wonderful Christmas and Happy and Safe New Year!

End of 2023!

I’d just like to say thank you to all our Sun Room Families for a wonderful year! It has been an absolute privilege supporting your children and we love being part of their learning journey.

For those moving on to Forest Room, we wish you all the best and hope you visit often. For those staying on in Sun Room we can’t wait to do it all again with you in 2024!

Thank you from Sun Room!
