KEIKI MINDARIE PRIMARY – Diwali, the festival of light 🪔
Last week many communities across the world celebrated Diwali, the festival of light. At Keiki Mindarie Primary, one of the educators celebrates Diwali and she shared her traditions and knowledge with the Preschool children, including what makes Diwali special and how it brings families together. She brought in beautiful pieces of jewellery as well as traditional clothing typically worn during this festive time which the children had opportunities to try on. The educators then set up experiences for the children to investigate Diwali in creative ways including designing their own henna hand art and using their fine motor skills to craft tea light candles. The children were fascinated by the stories and the vibrant displays! It was a meaningful and fun way to explore the Diwali celebration and to learn about a culture that may be different to their own ⭐

KEIKI HAMERSLEY – Spooky science 🥼 ⚗️
The Kindy children at Hamersley had a visit from Steph at Einsteins Australia for a Halloween-inspired science incursion last week. It was a spook-tacular sight to behold as the children, who were dressed in their best costumes, explored and investigated with different experiments. They discovered cause and effect as they mixed up a melting pot of monster slime then created a chemical reaction to make their mini volcanos hubble, bubble and foam 🌋 They also discovered the power of magnets through a haunted house set up 🧲
Thanks @einsteinsaustralia for sparking our curiosity with these super fun and creative science experiments!

GRANDPARENTS’ DAY 2024 💕
Grandparents’ Day is a treasured event for many of our children as they excitedly welcome their grandparents into their service to spend time together. Some of the activities that the children shared alongside their special family members included:
🌱 Decorating little pots and planting them with herbs;
🙌 Sharing in sensory experiences including playdough, ice trays and coloured rice;
🎨 Getting crafty by painting and beading together;
📚 Reading stories with the children;
🧁 Enjoying morning or afternoon tea together.
Grandparents’ Day is an opportunity to foster the very special relationships formed between children and their grandparents, and to recognise the role that older people play in children’s lives by offering guidance, knowledge and intergenerational learning. A huge thank you to all our visitors who came along to share in this special occasion 🥰

KEIKI EDGEWATER – Happy feet and sharing hands 🙌
We welcomed back the wonderful @happy_feet_fitness to Keiki Edgewater last week to help us celebrate National Children’s Week. It was our bubble party day and the toddlers were ready to move their bodies to music and dance the day away! The theme for the incursion was “sharing and turn taking” which supports our toddlers with their cooperation and social skills.
The children sat down and listened to a story about sharing with friends and how important it is to take turns. They then joined in with rolling balls to each other, working so well to share the balls and having a fantastic time in the process. Next, bubbles started floating through the air as the children put their gross motor and balancing skills into action, busting out their best dance moves in an exciting bubble dance party! What a way to celebrate National Children’s Week whilst helping to develop the children’s social skills 🎶 💃

KEIKI MINDARIE KEYS – Cleaning up our coastline 🏖️
As part of our current sustainability focus and the National Children’s Week’s theme “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment”, a small group of Mindarie Keys children and their educators participated in a special excursion to Quinn’s Beach for a clean-up. Prepared with their hats, vests, gloves and litter pickers, the children were eager to walk along the sand and carefully collect any rubbish they could find, safely tucking it into a rubbish bag. The children spoke about why it was important to stop rubbish from ending up on the beach and did a wonderful job spotting the unnatural objects that don’t belong on our beautiful shoreline. While they were walking, they also became curious about the sea sponges that had washed up and spent some time observing the strange creatures in the sand.
This was a lovely and rewarding community conservation experience for the children that has extended on their recycling efforts back at Keiki, whilst building their connection to our natural environment. 🌊

National Children’s Week 2024
National Children’s Week is all about celebrating the rights of children to enjoy their childhood. Across the week, children and educators joined in with lots of fun activities including:
👐 Letting our imaginations run wild with lots of messy play, water activities, sensory trays and even a hair dresser set-up;
🧼 Exploring the 2024 theme “Children have the right to a clean and safe environment” by helping to clean toys and pack away, learning about germs in engaging ways and looking at different ways the children can keep their bodies healthy and clean;
🧸 Coming together over food with Teddy bear picnics, lunchbox days and cupcake baking experiences;
🦸 Lots of dressing up in our favourite costumes, getting cosy for PJ days, wearing our craziest hairstyles and having our faces painted; and
🎶 Dancing the day away with bubble discos and music.
The end of National Children’s Week coincided with Day for Daniel, one of Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness days. Many children and educators dressed in red, joined in with red-themed activities, engaged in age-appropriate conversations about safety and protection and collected donations for the Daniel Morcombe Foundation ❤️

KEIKI MINDARIE KEYS – Using recycled materials in play ♻️
The Keiki Mindarie Keys children have been focused on recycling during the past month, including using lots of different materials in their play that were donated from families, educators and shops nearby. Educators created engaging activities following the children’s interests and tailored to different ages:
💚 Our youngest age group practiced their motor skills by painting on recycled cardboard boxes and using shredding paper to make paper mâché. One of the educators also made a sensory path for the babies to explore and climb on.
💚 The toddlers worked on their fine motor skills using small, recycled objects for sorting and counting. They also used recycled cardboard boxes attached to the fence to paint on.
💚 In addition to building the most fantastic cardboard ice cream shop, the kindy children extended on their creative thinking and problem-solving skills by using different shaped materials in the garden for open-ended, loose parts play.
Using recycled and reused materials wherever possible is part of Keiki’s Earth to Sky value within our Philosophy. Not only do these materials support creative thinking and open-ended play, but they also help contribute to a more sustainable world. 🌏

KEIKI MINDARIE KEYS – Making an ice cream truck 🍦
Over the past month the Mindarie Keys educators have extended on the Kindy children’s interest in their favourite role play game - ‘ice cream shop.’ Last week, a group of children sat with our Early Childhood Teacher to brainstorm ideas on what they would like their very own ‘Kindy Ice-Cream Truck’ to look like. This discussion prompted fantastic conversation and excitement amongst the children 🚚
The idea was brought to life as educators and children worked together to build their ice-cream truck out of recycled cardboard boxes 📦 This experience was enjoyed by all and each child had an opportunity to contribute to their amazing ice cream truck. The children helped to move boxes into place, assist the Educators with sticking the boxes together, painting and decorating the truck, making the ice-cream and cones to sell and, finally, the ice-cream truck was ready for the grand opening which sparked so much joy and excitement amongst the children ✨
It was fantastic to watch as the children role played ice cream shop owner, taking turns to ask their friends “what ice cream would you like?” It was great to hear all the different flavour choices. They demonstrated their knowledge of an ice cream truck by asking questions such as “would you like a cup or a cone?” This play experience provided an environment for the children to develop and demonstrate a variety of fundamental skills including language and social and cognitive skills. We can’t wait to see how this set-up continues to ignite imagination grow ideas 🍦

KEIKI EDGEWATER – Mindfulness and imagination through yoga 🧘
For the past 10 weeks our Edgewater Kindy children have been doing yoga with Sayumi, from Nature Space Yoga, whom the children fondly call Ms Yoga. The combination of yoga movements accompanied by music and rhythm have quickly become a favourite activity which the children look forward to with excitement. Ms Yoga beautifully incorporates the season of spring, weather, and the interest of the children into her sessions. She uses props such as coloured cloths to symbolise butterfly wings, the sound of the gong for transitions, and pictures of animals for jungle or sea animal-themed yoga sessions. With each pose, Ms Yoga encourages imaginative storytelling, inviting the children to envision themselves as playful monkeys, slithering snakes, or cheeky frogs! The room always buzzes with excitement and creativity, a delightful blend of movement and mindfulness 🐸 🐵
Before the session ends, she reads a story related to the theme like “The Big Book of Love” which highlights the importance of loving oneself by saying “I love me!” 💞 The children confidently say “namaste” in greeting, then then proudly accept a special stamp on their hand at the end of the session. Through yoga the children have explored body and spatial awareness, proper breathing exercises, flexibility, concentration, and mindfulness – all while having a wonderful time alongside one another. Thank you @naturespaceyoga for sharing your beautiful practice with us 🌞

KEIKI TRINITY – Planting our native, edible garden 🌱
This week our Trinity children welcomed gardener Nick into their service to help them plant an edible garden with Australian natives. The children were very curious about the plants asking lots of questions! They were offered plenty of opportunity to explore the smells, textures and even tastes of the new plant varieties which included sea purslane, sea celery, WA samphire, bush basil and lots more. The children and educators have been learning about the different seedlings together and how they can help them to grow and flourish. Everyone is looking forward to the garden becoming established so they can use the new flavours in their food and cooking 🍽️
Keiki Trinity was awarded a 2024 Woolworths Junior Landcare Grant recently to help create this edible garden and support the children to learn about native plants, food production and how to care for the environment. A big thank you to @woolworths_au and @landcareaustralia for helping us bring this project to life 🌿

KEIKI TRINITY – Babies on Tour 🌳
What an exciting excursion our Trinity babies took part in last week when they hopped into the prams and enjoyed an adventure to the local park! During the walk to the park the babies were laughing, chatting and giggling to each other as they looked around at the environment. As soon as they arrived at the playground the babies took no time heading straight off to explore the park! They loved swinging on the swing, digging with the large digger, rocking on the seesaw and playing a big game of ‘chasey’ where they ran alongside their educators with gorgeous laughs. It was a wonderful way for the babies to exercise their gross motor skills. The babies also enjoyed looking at the flowers, playing on the grass and watching the wildlife pass them by which provided opportunities for the educators to connect what the babies could smell, see, hear and touch to vocabulary.
Experiencing a visit to the park is an opportunity for the babies to expand their view of their world as they gather knowledge of their surroundings and their community. It inspired curiosity of their surroundings and strengthened bonds between educators and children as they enjoyed the playground together in the wonderful Djilba weather 🌞
