These last few weeks we discovered outside play. Not just running around and loving life, but the Jungle Gyms and all the mischief we can get into whilst hanging from the Monkey Bars, the trampolines and how high we can jump without holding onto anyone.

Term one of 2020 for our little Sunbirdies, has gotten off to a great start.  With the thrills of Bakerman, Interchange days and Valentine’s Day what more is there to love?  Remembering that all play and activities are educational to children, our walk-it circuit and visual motor sessions are a hit.  The children have taken to school like duck to[Read More…]
