Just want to let everyone know I am no longer operating as an Educator through Tropical Rugrats Family Day Care South Cairns.
Thank you everyone who have allowed me to care for your precious little ones over the years. It was my absolute pleasure caring and helping everyone grow into competent and independent young boys and girls to grown into successful adults.

The chikdren have been using nature and exploring the creative arts to see how they can utilise Gods natural environment and incorporate into their art work; learning different techniques looking at texture, shapes, colours and patterns. To extend on our lice for the outdoors and create a unique Christmas gift for mum and dad. The children wanted to make art from nature utilising various elements of nature to make a statement about both nature and humanity's relationship to nature. Making a Clay dough nature Mobile learning different techniques in drying flowers, suze, placement, design and the interdependence between, land and plants. Being able to explore their world with all of their senses, to see their evolving creation.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and wishing everyone a happy, safe and prosperous New Year from Tropical Rugrats.

This week was even more special as this year's theme is love the outdoors.

Tropical Rugrats celebrated Rosh Hashanah today. Rosh Hashanah is a special festival which celebrates Jewish New Year. It means Head of the Year. Rosh Hashanah is a celebration of the creation of the world and marks making a fresh start. The children participated in a rich and meaningful inquired-based cooking activity making traditional Honey Cake to symbols of hope for a sweet year to come. Showing how they are able to learn different cultures and traditions through cooking. Cooking is a great way encouraging children's thinking, problem-soloving and creativity. It allows children the opportunity to use the knowledge they have and apply it through counting, measuring, following a sequence, direction and cause and effect.

Father's day is a time to celebrate fatherhood in all its forms both individual fathers and the impact of Father's on society, and what better way to show our dads how much they are loved, appreciated and admired, through their sons and daughters eyes; is to create a unique gift from the heart. The children drew on their Father's special moments they spend together using the creative arts and experimenting different ways to express ideas and make meaning using a range of media. By creating individually designed shirts, discovering how bleach can change the contrast of the shirts colour, using templates to create their unique design and gift. For a shirt that will be cherished for years to come and made with love. HAPPY FATHERES DAY YO ALL OUR WONDERFUL DADS.

Tripical Rugrats celebrated book week 22nd to 27th August with all the children having a wonderful time dressing up in their favourite characters. Elsa, Timmy the Timid Tiger, Emma wiggle, Tinker Bell and Tonka Trucks came to life bring a world of imagination as the children shared their favourite books. Books help promote a longer attention span, building our listening skills and little imaginations. Books teach children thinking skills such as logic and cause and effect. Books teach children about relationships and personalities.
The children have also spent time exploring and interacting in the two inspiring small world play experience. Giraffes Can't Dance and Scoop the Digger. Building on their love of reading and getting lost in the wolds that exists between the covers of great Authors and stroy tellers. Building on their enjoyment of language and text in a rang of different ways.

National Science week is being celebrated all across Australia with the theme Food different by design. It honours the United Nations International Year of Fruit's and Vegetables and the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainability Development. To celebrate National Science week and to allow the children to explore how different food substances when mixed together give off a chemical reaction. Using a variety of colours in our experiment added extra effect while learning colour mixing. Science helps children to develop their ability to ask questions, collect information, organise and test their ideas, solve problems and apply what they are learning. Using Bicarbonate Soda, vinegar and food colouring the children's little minds exploded with curiosity as the coloured vinegar reacted to the bicarb creating lots of mini exploding volcanoes, as the word bubbles was voiced with joy and excitement. Creating a wonderful explosive abstract food art piece. As the children broaden their understanding of the world in which they live.
