The 8th of October is world sight day and this year the Balmoral Lions club are entering in a photo competition to help promote the day. They have invited the Balmoral Early Learning Centre to help by all making glasses then posing with them for the photo they will enter. We were very excited to participate with this community group and found it was a great opportunity to teach the children about the different reasons glasses are worn and looking after the health of our eyes. The children were very excited to make their own pipe cleaner glasses. Over the past month, we have been learning the bear hunt song. The children have been excited to go on many bear hunts. Extending on our learning about spring, we have been having lots of discussions around insects and seeds. We have been exploring the different types of insects and what is special about each one. We even found a ladybird outside the other week when we were looking around the yard with our magnifying glasses. We have also been talking about seeds; what eat them, how we grow them and how flour is made from some seeds. We will be growing some seeds in cups over the next few weeks. Simone Aitken Childcare Team Leader This month at the Balmoral Early Learning Centre It’s looking as though we may still be fully booked next year; so we are now looking for expressions of interest for running a third day next year. If you are interested in using our service next year, I encourage you to pop into our centre on a Monday or Wednesday, or call in to the BBNC and fill out an expression of interest form to tell us your childcare needs. BBNC in a joint project with South West Dental Services have held their first dental clinic last week. The fortnightly visit will bring a much needed service to our remote community. This service is funded by the Commonwealth Government and is managed by the Dental Health Services of Victoria. With alternating visits between Dental Therapist KyShen Tang and Dentist Dr Alex Reid, Balmoral will have access to a broad range of dental care through both public and private health support. Dr Reid will attend to dental examinations fillings, extractions, dentures, emergency care, mouthguards and referrals as required. KyShen will undertaken regular cleaning programs, examinations, and oral hygiene inspections. He works with children to introduce and support good dental care.
