What an amazing month August was. Book week 📚 was fantastic this year, we had so many magical costumes… well done everyone. We had our friends from Nazareth House visit Poppins for the first time and spend the morning with our preschool 2 room having morning tea. We then shared a story and some songs, then moved to the construction area. The preschool 2 children show their skills to the Friends from Nazareth House and even got them to help hammering in some nails. September is just around the corner and the rooms are all ready for Father’s Day with all the gift the children have hand made for their dad’s. We will also be celebrating Poppins 7th Birthday on the 10th of September 2024. We will be holding a BBQ and having a Birthday cake for the children in attendance on the 10th September 2024 🎂🎉🎉.
With the Warmer Months ahead
As part of our educational program, we run fire, bush fire, lockdown (storm, hail) and snake drills regularly throughout the year. This month we will be focusing on our snake drills. Snakes are most prevalent during Spring or Summer but could be encountered at any time of the year- especially on sunny days.
Unprovoked, snakes rarely attack humans and are generally shy, timid animals that will avoid conflict if given the opportunity. Snakes are protected under the Nature Conservation Act 1992 and it is an offence to kill or injure them. The greatest risk of snake bite from venomous snakes is from people trying to kill or handle them.
Our Service is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for children and staff whilst being respectful of wildlife in and around our environment. We aim to minimise the potential risk of injury from a snake bite by educating children and staff about the risks associated with snakes.
