Our Nurse Visit

Nurse Carissa visited Happy Sprouts to share her knowledge about hospitals and the nursing profession with the children. The goal was to help them feel less scared about the idea of needing to go to the hospital someday.

The children quickly gathered for group time to find out who the special guest was and what she had to share with the class. Nurse Carissa explained her role and responsibilities as a nurse, as well as the various equipment she uses on her patients. The children had the opportunity to see and even try out some of the equipment. She also talked about different areas of the hospital, such as the ambulance bay, the X-ray department, and other places they might visit for tests.

Thank you, Carissa for our Visit

Why it's done: It's a way to show support for reconciliation and to encourage people to reflect on what it means to them.

How it's done: Individuals or groups decorate hearts (often provided by organizers) with messages, symbols, or art that represent their understanding of reconciliation.

National Reconciliation Week: The Sea of Hearts project is a popular activity during National Reconciliation Week, a time when Australians are encouraged to learn about shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each person can contribute to achieving reconciliation.

Theme: The 2025 theme for National Reconciliation Week is "Bridging Now to Next," which encourages Australians to reflect on the past, present, and future, and to work together towards a more united and respectful nation.

Foam Fun

At Happy Sprouts in Craigieburn the children had a wonderful time engaging with the soft, fluffy pink and blue shaving cream, delighting in its texture and using their imaginations to transform it into all sorts of creative possibilities. They eagerly grabbed small toy diggers to scoop, push, and shape the shaving cream, then added a variety of animals to explore and play. As the animals waded through the colorful foam, the children discovered new ways to interact, even pretending to give them a gentle wash. It was a fantastic sensory experience that sparked curiosity and creativity!

Mud Fun

With the Lilly Pillies and Kangaroo Paws children, the group engaged in a sensory experience exploring damp dirt and water in a tray. During setup, they eagerly participated by gathering mud from the garden and filling a bucket with water.
As they explored the tub, the children noticed intriguing differences in texture—some dirt was slippery and easy to squeeze, while other parts made unexpected noises when pressed.
Everyone had the opportunity to join in, with some briefly touching the mud before moving on, while others remained engaged, passing the mud around.
Throughout the activity, the children shared their observations, describing the mud as cold and slippery. They excitedly connected their experience to the book We're Going on a Bear Hunt, recalling the scene where characters trek through the mud.

They joyfully chanted:
"We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one.
Oh-oh! MUD!
Thick, oozy mud.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it."

Adding to the fun, they shaped mud into balls, playfully tossing them into the tray before picking them up again to throw.
