One of the most anticipated days in our monthly calendar is the visit to #noosacommunitysupportcentre. This months visit was no exception as the lovely staff had organised for a visiting baby animal tour to greet us. We had some very serious 4 year old 'farmers' controlling the animals and making sure that they were looked after properly. Thank you for such a wonderful morning.

Terrific Tuesday began with a fantastic play in the back garden before walking to the newly refurbished Noosa Library Service for our weekly Storytime. At the library we listen to stories, sing songs, play with toys before running and rolling down the hill before stopping for a picnic. On the way back we see many things; like blood trees, fire engines, Australian flags peaking over fences. Whatever we see it is always imaginative and fun. We love our Tuesday walks to the library. ... See more

Learning and community is always a priority for us. Today we were very lucky to have Rosalyn from the Wilvos come to our kindy room and discuss the importance of being safe around some of our Australian wildlife. Rosalyn shared her wealth of knowledge about snakes, bats and caring for the injured animals which had all of our budding Wildlife Warriors wanting to grow up and volunteer for the Wilvos as soon as possible.

What a rewarding morning, thank you Wilvos for all your hard work ... See more

Namaste everyone. Is there a more peaceful and relaxing way to start our day of learning and play at Busy Bees than with yoga? The younger children start most mornings off with Cosmic Yoga which involves relaxation, mindfulness and yoga that is designed specially for kids. Each yoga session gets its inspiration from childrens books, concepts and movies. I wonder what tomorrows Cosmic Yoga will be based on. Nameste ... See more

Aussie, Aussie Oi, Oi, Oi,
What a wonderful way to into the groove of Australia Day than with a little thong throwing, followed by an Queensland inspired 'Toad Racing (do not fear, no cane toads were hurt in our rather loud and fast game). To complete our morning of fun the children were paired with a younger friend and participated in a treasure hunt named ' Two flag Australia'.

Of course, no Australia Day celebration is complete with out koala biscuits and 'Toad in the creek' jelly.
A day of laughter and smiles from everyone ... See more

Fighting Food Waste
As part of our commitment to our local community and for a sustainable future, we have been teaching the children about sustainable practices in our centre, our homes and in our broader community. It is important that the children not only understand that sustainable practices involve recycling and worm farms but it also involves helping those who are less fortunate and at the same time helping the environment.
Every Friday afternoon a local volunteer from #OzHarvestSunshineCoast comes and picks any unused left over foods that we have not used during the week. It is wonderful to see how involved and responsible the children are towards caring for their environments and local community.

Imaginative play can provide important growth for children, regardless of gender. When playing with dolls/ 'babies' as well as their friends, children run into new and unique situations for their games. When talking to others children can strengthen their vocabulary by filling it with practical language. Through this type of play children gain insight into home routines that may be different from their own, they identify with and make sense of the adult world, show care and empathy towards others while developing social skills such as negotiation, turn taking or sharing .

In this way they discover the world around them.
