Kite Flying on the Oval

This morning on this windy Melbourne day, we took the opportunity to fly a kite high up into the sky!

Henry: It was fun because everyone gets a turn. It (the kite) was blue, black, orange, purple, and pink.

Eleanor: I liked holding it (the kite) with my hand. It flew off.

Jade: It was fun; the kite went really high. It was a fish flying.

Zac: I liked having fun with it (the kite). It went on the fence.

Active involvement in learning builds children’s understandings of concepts and the creative thinking and inquiry processes that are necessary for lifelong learning’ (EYLF 2009, p. 32).

A Real Easter Bunny!

Today Tyler brought in his real bunny from home. We put

him inside our circle and he hopped around. We even

played with him outside in the sun.

Jared: It’s a bunny!

Tyler: He is Olaf and he is 5. He eats carrots and cucumber.

Rosa: It is so cute and fluffy; I wish I had a bunny!

Ollie: Yeah, I love it!

Alia: Why does he have a cage?

Tyler: Because he would run away.

“The gymnast did a cartwheel and a backflip. She could

do that because she has such a strong body. She is fit

and very talented.” Rosa

Today the children in the ELC were invited to watch a gymnastics display. We were all very

excited to walk down to the hall and watch as Amy the gymnast presented her skills in front

of all the children. Amy showed us her beam routine, her floor routine and some work on the

bar. Amy was very strong and we all watched on in disbelief how clever she was with using

her body.

I liked her doing the bar. She did a handstand and it looked really hard.– Mia

The bars are my favourite things in gymnastics. She needs to train lots and then gets really

good at it.—Ollie

She did jumps and rolling. She is very strong.—Liam Thursday 30 March 2017
