Pre-school children are continually growing and changing. They are fascinated with how they look and enjoy looking at themselves in the mirror. Caring for hair is part of a young child’s routine. Brushing, cutting, decorating and gelling hair is of great interest. There are some young children who are fearful of washing their hair and need reassurance and time. We hope that the practical and creative activities featured in this series enhance the children’s perceptions of their physical attributes as well as their awareness of those around them.

Everyone moves. Children love to move and this week we discover lots of ways of moving people, animals, things, our bodies and our imaginations. The week explores the many ways we travel from here to there through stories, play, music and games. We look at many modes of travel including cars, trucks, buses, boats, trains, aeroplanes, hot air balloons, rockets, helicopters, bicycles, horses, sub-marines and walking. Friends are visited, holidays are planned and taken, deliveries are made and there is lots of moving from here to there. Each day our flying fox calendar features and a surprise is usually to be found.

The home plays a vital role in the life of every child. As Australians we live in a diverse range of environments however integral to each home is a sense of belonging, a sense of being loved and a sense of self. Home is where we feel safe and secure and are free to be ourselves. During the week we explore rooms in the home, families and friends, places and spaces, maintenance and decoration, animal homes and neighbours. On Thursday we welcome a new toy into the Play School Family. Dan is introduced through a told story and taken into the fold. Welcome Dan! The calendar for the week follows the Carter family as they travel around Australia. Each day they get in their car and tow their caravan to a different region of Australia.

The first few years of life are full of new beginnings. Young children are often eager to explore and investigate what is new. They use their senses and their bodies as they encounter and play with new objects, experiences and people. At other times new beginnings can be daunting. Sometime young children need reassurance from family or carers and seek the company of familiar toys as they begin something new. This week in Play School we explore lots of new beginnings that are part of the young child’s world. We sing, move, play and share stories that reflect exploring new things as well as feeling safe and secure.

Depending on their developmental level children may or may not understand the concept of opposites. This series selects one example of opposites - big and little. This is explored in concrete ways throughout the week. Each day the big and little calendar demonstrates big and little in different ways. Something big is pulled from a little hole, a big balloon is deflated to a little balloon, a little piece of folded paper is unfolded to a big piece, a spiky ball is increased in size and little creatures are found in a big garden. Growing, size, space, shapes, insects, animals, dinosaurs and difference are all discovered through art, craft, games and music. Children enjoy the nonsense of exaggerated props. One of the told stories illustrates the dilemma of getting the wrong sized clothing in a funny way children will be sure to enjoy.

Depending on their developmental level children may or may not understand the concept of opposites. This series selects one example of opposites - big and little. This is explored in concrete ways throughout the week. Each day the big and little calendar demonstrates big and little in different ways. Something big is pulled from a little hole, a big balloon is deflated to a little balloon, a little piece of folded paper is unfolded to a big piece, a spiky ball is increased in size and little creatures are found in a big garden. Growing, size, space, shapes, insects, animals, dinosaurs and difference are all discovered through art, craft, games and music. Children enjoy the nonsense of exaggerated props.

What to wear is often a dilemma parents and children face each day in the life of a child. Children often have very strong opinions about their clothing and how they want to dress. Learning how to get clothes on and off is also a big part of a child's life. This week we explore clothing, jewellery, accessories and all those things we use for dressing. Each day Chloe and Max, the paper dolls dress differently on our "What to Wear" calendar. We discover that there is clothing for different occasions, different weathers, boys and girls, children and adults, day and night, work and play. Throughout the week we celebrate a child's joy in "dressing up"with a variety of songs, stories and toy play.

Young children enjoy making and creating. They are eager to construct new objects from the resources and materials that they find around them. The process of construction provides many opportunities for development of physical control, such as eye-hand co-ordination and fine motor skills, as well as thinking skills such as logical reasoning and processes such as decision making and problem solving. Building on a larger scale, such as making cubbies and shelters with household and recycled materials, offers opportunities for cooperative play and collaborative learning as children work together to manipulate larger materials and resources as they build together.

Series 271: Let's Find Out Monday Children are naturally inquisitive and want to know about the world around them. Experiences that encourage children to question how or why things happen are a science experience. This week in Play School we adopt a “finding out” attitude and explore our environment in a scientific way. Over the week we look at colours, magnets, batteries, flying, chemical reactions and movement. Through a mixture of play, observation, music and storytelling we “find out” together. Children are continually developing skills in thinking, reasoning and observation. To help introduce science concepts and extend language skills, the presenters use appropriate science terms in a context to encourage their understanding. Open-ended questions are posed such as “What do you think would happen if...?”to extend thinking and encourage exploration. Every day this week our resident scientist, Ruben, and a small group of children, conduct simple experiments - looking at how things dissolve, making a simple electrical circuit, making an object fly and observing chemical reactions and chain reactions caused by moving objects.

As young children grow and develop they begin to understand the ways in which faces can reflect thoughts and feelings and how they can use their own faces to express their own feelings. Greater understanding of facial expression and the feelings of oneself and others can help young children to learn to identify and respond positively to the feelings of others. Come along as we make things for the Play School portrait gallery, play dress ups, meet some rabbit visitors, make a baguette crocodile and much more.

Come along now, come and see the finest animals on land, air and sea! In this series of Play School we introduce young children to the wonderful music of Carnival of the Animals by Saint-Saëns. It is a playful work full of musical variety and fun. We explore elements of music like pitch and tempo and look closely at some instruments from the orchestra to see how their sounds are made. Young children are inherently musical. Participating in musical experiences helps to wire the young brain for learning as babies, toddlers and young children listen, move and sing. They enjoy experimenting with sounds and musical instruments.
