🏉💙 FOOTY WEEK FUN! 💙🏉
What a fantastic week we’ve had in Barrbunin & Murnong! From playdough footies and creative art to big cardboard balls, ball games, water play and plenty of outdoor fun — our children were right in the middle of the action! ⚽🏉🎨💦
We loved watching the children explore, create, move, laugh and learn together throughout the week.
And when the sun came out for our Footy Grand Final… the water and wet sand won! ☀️💦😂
So many smiles, so much fun and lots of wonderful learning along the way. ❤️
🏉 Go Barrbunin & Murnong! 🏉

🧘♀️🌿 Developing Balance & Physical Skills Through Yoga! 🌿🧘♂️
Our 2–3-year-olds had so much fun exploring simple yoga poses using picture cards! 🌈
Together, we practised sitting like a 🐸 frog, making a 🦋 butterfly with our legs, standing tall like a 🌳 tree, and even balancing on one foot! The children loved watching the pictures, copying the movements, and discovering what their bodies could do.
This fun experience supported their:
✨ Balance and coordination
✨ Flexibility and body awareness
✨ Gross motor skills
✨ Concentration and self-regulation
✨ Confidence and mindfulness
The children were highly engaged and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 💛 We’ll continue incorporating simple yoga into our daily routine and introduce new poses for the children to explore.

🌿✨ Grounding through touch and texture! ✨🌿
Our Bubups explored the calming world of clay through their bare feet. First, they experienced the feel of dry clay, then discovered the very different sensations of wet clay. 👣🤎
“Wet!” “Sticky!” “Smooth!” “Slippery!” — the children confidently shared the words that described what they could feel.
Most importantly, they noticed how their bodies and emotions changed throughout the experience. What began with feelings of tiredness or unsettledness ended with many children feeling calm, relaxed and refreshed. 🌸
A beautiful sensory experience supporting emotional literacy, sensory awareness, vocabulary and wellbeing. 💛
🗺️✨ Treasure Hunt Adventure! 🏴☠️💎
Our 3-year-old Kinder children became little explorers as they set off on an exciting treasure hunt! 🏴☠️🔍
With their treasure maps in hand, the children worked together to search high and low, following clues and exploring their surroundings to discover hidden treasures. Along the way, they practised problem-solving, communication, teamwork and following directions while having so much fun! 🌿🗺️
There were plenty of excited faces, curious minds and moments of “I found it!” as the children uncovered each hidden treasure. 💎🎉
What an exciting adventure for our little explorers! ❤️

Creating a safe sleep environment is one of the many ways we care for children each day. From following safe sleep practices and using approved cots, to completing visual checks every 5 minutes, our educators take every step to help children rest safely and comfortably.
We also work closely with families to understand each child's individual sleep routine, because feeling safe, settled and well-rested helps children learn, grow and thrive.
💜 Safe sleep is everyone's responsibility, and it's always a priority.
