To start off a very hot day, we went outside and engaged in some water play, to stay nice and cool.

As it started to heat up, we made our way into Home 2, where we all engaged in a range of inquiries. Some of us engaged in socio-dramatic play, such as pretend cooking, dress-ups and role play. Kunal noticed a milipede and was observing how they moved. Some of us enjoyed building and construction using the Lego and blocks and others enjoyed creating a range of artwork using paint, the whiteboards and pencils.

Tesi and Jon started creating patterns using the lose parts.

Tesi: “white, black, white, black, white oh, black comes next”.

Jon: “Black, white, white, black, white, black”.

Tesi: “Look Jon, we need a white”.

Our Day @ Alive 02.10.19

Today was a very hot day which meant our outdoor time was limited. The children engaged  in water play and water paint activities outside in the morning, then moved into Home 2 a little earlier to avoid the peak UV  and participate in some indoor activities.

In Home 2, they were engaged in a variety of provocations based on their interests. Children were busy doing activities such as book reading, light table, dinosaurs, puzzles, home corner and block play.

We also celebrated Xavier’s 4th Birthday today with some dancing and a birthday cake for afternoon tea.

Our Prayer

Xavier: Thank you god for playing with Omelia.
Kunal: Thank you God for playing with Liam and Jasmeh.
Arabella: Thank you God for playing outside with the bars.
Krisha: Playing with Liam.
Omelia: Thank you god for playing with Olivia.

‘Living With Pets’ – Safety Talk

Our Philosophy:

We will provide and emergent and responsive curriculum for all children based from the philosophy of the service, provocations of educators and a child’s strength and interests as well as the interest of the group.

We will foster a sense of wonderment of the natural environment and resources as an integral part of children’s learning and support children to become ecologically conscious and to understand the interdependence of all living things.

On Wednesday afternoon a group of our children attended a safety talk with R/1TD and R/1GC in the school titled ‘Living Safely with Pets’.

As we continue to learn through our ‘growth’ inquiry, this talk was a wonderful opportunity for children to learn more about how to take care of living things – themselves and their pets.

We met a beautiful dog called Darcy whose owner taught us how to keep ourselves safe around dogs, including how to approach an unknown dog we would like to pat and what to do when faced with an angry dog.
