Term 1 Week 7

CLUB NEWS::
We had a great time with BEYBLADE CLUB this week, with lots of children joining in and showing one another how to take turns and be fair.
The rain meant lots of our activities had to run inside this week, but we had a great time adapting SPORTS CLUB into various creative ideas inside the Hall, including lots of DANCING - well done Educators and kids, for not letting the weather get in the way of a good time!
In EXPLORE & DISCOVER, a whole range of ages had a great time with the ‘lifting ice cubes’ experiment - ask them about it! Shout out to SADIE for being a great little helper for Kathy. Thanks Sadie!
The MAGNET WORKSHOP was a great hit once again - our littlest ones love having something special to do when the older ones are at Skate School.
This week the kids made PRETZELS in Baking Club. We saw some fantastic creations and pretzels made into shapes we never would have imagined! ;-)

OTHER NEWS::
We spent this week celebrating ST PATRICK’S DAY and based lots of our creative activities around that, as well as enjoying stories from the children of our many Irish families!
Check out the Hive room walls and windows - there’s new art work going up all the time!

PARENT REMINDERS::
You need to meet certain requirements in order to obtain Child Care Subsidy from the government, who pay this subsidy directly to your child care provider (i.e. The Hive) to reduce the fees you pay.

You may be eligible if you or your partner meet all of the following:

• care for your child at least 2 nights per fortnight, or have 14% care

• are liable for fees for care provided at an approved child care service

• meet the residency rules

Your primary school-aged child must also meet immunisation requirements

Each person that’s liable to pay child care fees will need to apply for this subsidy and meet these criteria.
