News Flash - Stanmore

Our little learners at JK Stanmore celebrated Valentine’s Day by making cards and flowers and visiting the residents at Opal Aged Care in Annandale. Prior to our visit, we had a group discussion about how to stay safe on the road and we revisited some road safety rules including always holding an adult’s hands and only crossing the road at the traffic lights. At the nursing home, our little learners got to give their beautifully crafted Valentine’s Day cards to the residents. They also had fun taking turns to blow bubbles for everyone. This was a great ice-breaker and provided our little learners the opportunity to interact with the elderlies in a fun and relaxed context. The children each got a special treat to take home and returned to the service discussing how some of the residents resembled their aunties and grandparents. Our visit to Opal Aged Care in Annandale offered our little learners the opportunity to explore concepts such as empathy, kindness, compassion and the different stages of life. Looking forward to visiting our new friends in the next few weeks for a fun playdough experience.
