LEARNING THROUGH PLAY!

Well done children! 👏🏻😄💕

As part of our Multicultural program, we teach our children about 🎊 Chinese New Year. 🇨🇳This year, Chinese New Year welcomes the 2021 Chinese zodiac celebrating the Year of the Ox as the Chinese community wish for a happy and prosperous year ahead. 🐂The Ox symbolises hard workers in the background who are intelligent and reliable but never demanding praise. 😄 Our Clovel children enjoyed making red lanterns,🏮 fireworks in arts and craft and eating fried rice for lunch. ☺️

👂🏼Sound is a disturbance that travels through a medium as a wave. In this experiment, tapping on the glass with the spoon disturbs the particles of the glass causing them to vibrate. 🎶🥛The vibrations in the glass are transferred to the surrounding glass, creating a sound wave. When the glasses are all empty, the vibrations and sounds are all the same. Adding different amounts of water to the glasses causes the vibrations and sound to change. 🌈Our babies love tapping the different glasses and listening to the different sounds they make. 😄👏🏻💕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Visit www.clovelchildcare.com.au for more information regarding our wonderful baby program

👶🏻At Clovel, Brain Linkage is embedded into our daily program through a variety of activities. One of these activities is Visual Tracking. Visually tracking an object is the ability to follow a moving object with the eyes. 👀 This stimulates the baby’s vision and strengthens the baby’s eye muscles. The educator holds the rattle a small distance and slowly moves it from side to side so the baby can follow it with their eyes and eventually reach out and touch it. 😄👏🏻💕
