Hatching Chickens and Ducklings at Kindergarten

The children enjoyed patting the newly hatched chickens at Kindergarten.


We observed the eggs in the incubator and patiently waited for something to happen. This time we had success with our hatching program and the children enjoyed touching the chicks. Tomorrow we will let the duckings have a swim and talk about the differences between the ducklings and chickens.
 We will talk about the ducklings' webbed feet and water-proof feathers.

EYLF Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners. Children express wonder and interest in their environments.

YOGA INCURSION for the Four Year Old Group.

On Thursday 6th June, Erin from "School Time Yoga came to kindergarten to do Yoga with the children and staff.  The children participated in two separate groups with the first group doing "Jungle Animal" poses and the second group of children performed more traditional poses. All of the kindergarten children are familiar with a variety of poses chosen as "Yoga" is part of the settling routine at the start of the normal program sessions.  The children listened attentively to Erin and were able to complete the poses done on yoga mats. The mats were arranged in a circle which gave the children adequate space and focus.

Each Yoga session  lasted for forty five minutes and finished with either some deep breathing or gentle massage, with the children taking turns to massage each other's shoulders.
