Mother’s Day Morning Tea (BIGGEST MORNING TEA) – Tuesday 3rd May 9.30AM – 10.30AM
We combined this event and the WORLD’S BIGGEST MORNING TEA to raise funds in support of the Cancer Council! A gold coin donation helped raise funds for the Cancer Council.
We had 35-40 mums/grandparents come along to participate in outside play activities and enjoy a yummy morning tea. Thank you for coming along!

FOOD IN BAGS – A friendly reminder to not pack any food items in your child’s bag.

All food brought into the centre must comply with our nutrition policy.

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES
You may notice the playrooms being dark at times…..! We are educating the children on all concepts of sustainable practices. This includes electricity (turning the lights off when we are outside or enough natural light in the room), composting (knowing our food scraps – what scraps go into each bucket) gardening (vegetable patch, weeding) water conservation (half flush, full flush using the toilets, using the taps) and recycling (use of paper, paper towel, using boxes etc)
We hope to educate our future children to be aware of sustainable practices so they can look after our beautiful planet.
OUTDOOR PLAY IN WINTER
“Colds are more common in the winter months. Cold weather by itself doesn’t increase the chance of getting a cold, but people are in closer contact with each other because they stay indoors. This means they’re more likely to infect each other”. Quoted from the article link.
This is why we monitor the weather and in suitable conditions, we go outside for our physical play.
Please ensure your child has suitable clothing to wear outside eg: jacket, jumper, long pants etc and is able to remove their jacket etc inside.
STUDENTS
You will see a few new faces around the place as we have a few students at Hunny Pots.
We believe in providing placements for students wanting a career in child care.
It’s a wonderful opportunity to nurture future educators.
