Welcome to winter ❄️ What better way to celebrate than with icy ice cream sensory play! 🍦

You too can make this fun activity at home. Simply combine cornflour and conditioner, mixing until you reach a soft, mouldable consistency. For the sprinkles, add a few drops of food colouring to rice and mix until coated, you can choose any colours you like. Pom poms make the perfect cherries on top! 🍒

This playful sensory activity encourages creativity, imaginative play and fine motor development while providing lots of wintery fun.

May 27th marks the beginning of National Reconciliation Week, a time for all Australians to reflect on our shared histories, cultures and achievements, and to consider how each of us can contribute to reconciliation in Australia.

At playgroup, we recognise the importance of creating inclusive spaces where children and families can learn about and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, stories and connections to Country. Through play, storytelling, art, music and shared experiences, children begin developing respect, understanding and a sense of belonging within our diverse community. 🔴🟡⚫️

3…2…1… BLAST OFF 🚀✨

We zoomed into space during our Mindful Movers session this week. The children practiced rocket ship poses, transformed into shooting stars and comets, landed on the crescent moon, and flew all the way to the shining sun 🌙☀️

We then shook our sillies out with colourful silks, stretching and dancing along to groovy tunes. The Yoga Fairy arrived to help calm little bodies with peaceful meditation before finishing with breath work, blowing big magical bubbles together 🫧🧘

This brings an end to our Mindful May sessions, proudly sponsored by Tom Norris from LOYLE Real Estate. Thank you so much for your generous contribution and support of our community 💛

Yoga will be back again next Tuesday. We can’t wait to see you there! 💫

We are always so thankful when parents contribute at playgroup. One of our wonderful mums kindly brought in a big book ‘The Gruffalo’ and shared the story with the children. It was such a special and engaging experience, with lots of smiles, imagination and participation from our little friends.

Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution and for helping create meaningful moments for our playgroup community 💛

We had so much fun on our wild yoga adventure last Tuesday. Our little explorers transformed into dinosaurs, stomping their way through the jungle on an exciting adventure. Along the way, the children became different jungle animals, including giant giraffes, snapping crocodiles and slithering snakes, using creative yoga poses to stretch, balance and move their bodies in fun new ways.

We then shook our sillies out dancing with colourful silks to groovy music, filling the room with laughter, movement and joy. To finish our session, the Yoga Fairy arrived to help calm busy little bodies and minds with mindfulness and relaxation. We ended by blowing bubbles together, practising our breath work and taking slow, calming breaths as we watched the bubbles float away.

Thank you to the amazing volunteers from the Samford Rural Fire Brigade for visiting us at playgroup. We enjoyed a beautiful shared morning tea and the children loved learning about some of the important jobs firefighters do, including fighting fires and helping during car accidents and natural disasters.

The highlight of the day was getting up close to the fire trucks, watching the flashing lights and hearing the loud sirens. Some of our future firefighters even enjoyed hopping into the trucks for a closer look.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us and support our community. 🚒
