Time for the Winter Woolies
Winter is certainly upon us, and it is getting colder every week. It’s important that children come dressed in appropriate clothing for the weather i.e. Long pants instead of shorts, socks, shoes., long sleeved shirts and jumpers. Please note that both scarves and hoods are not appropriate clothing to wear as they are a strangulation hazard, and therefore cannot be worn. Please note that children are not to wear slippers, ugg boots or gumboots, as these have poor grip and are a slipping/tripping hazard It is essential that all shoes fit correctly
PLEASE PACK A FULL SET OF SPARE CLOTHES INCLUDING SOCKS.
Staff Swap: Trainee Education
. Due to a change in training regulations, trainees are now required to work with children in different age groups. From Monday, 30th May Kasey will be in the Ocean Room every day with Anneke. Tara, Nicole and Sharon will be working in the Lake Room. This means that Kasey will learn about a wider range of programming, observing and interacting with children, staff and families. As all staff have formed positive relationships and are familiar with all the children the disruption is minimal, and consistency of care is maintained. Please see Brett or Sharon if you have any questions.
Long Weekend
Just a reminder that we will be closed on Monday, 13h June for the Queen’s Birthday public holiday.
Fees are not charged for this day, and we hope everybody enjoys their long weekend.
Health Foods Aren’t Always Healthy
Despite claims on the packaging- and the fact they are actually sold in the health food aisle- many so called health foods are actually VERY HIGH IN FAT, SUGAR AND SALT. They also tend to be very expensive. It’s important to read the nutrition labels on the packaging before putting these foods in your child’s lunchbox. Please follow this guide when choosing foods:
* Foods which contain more than 20g of total fat or 5g saturated fat per 100g are high in fat
* If a food contains more than 15g of sugar per 100g it is high in sugar
* If a food contains more than 600mg sodium per 100g it is high in salt
Please keep these foods for special treats at home
