Move Well Eat Well

Little bee is proud to be a Move Well, Eat Well accredited Early Childhood Service, we are always looking for new and exciting ways to embed the Move Well, Eat Well program within our service. One of the key messages from the program is the importance of ‘Move, Play and Go’ throughout the whole year. We are very passionate about engaging children in ‘huff and puff’ play every day. During the winter months, it can be very difficult to keep active. The Move Well, Eat Well website: http://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/mwew/families has an array of information for families. However, we are encouraging families to get out and about and explore what’s on within the local community. Some ways we suggest keeping children moving in winter include:

  • Going to your local indoor pool

  • Turning up the music and engaging your children in dance

  • Rugging up and accessing local parks, bike or walking tracks, bonus being they tend to be quieter this time of the year and the children tend to love scootering and bike riding!!

  • Organising a get together at an activity centre, e.g. Eastside, Inflatable World, Crocs play centre.

  • ‘Google’ fun exercise games to play with children and the ideas and suggestions are plentiful.

Most children enjoy any form of active play if it is with a family member, as long as children are huffing and puffing at the end of the activity, it has been beneficial to their health and well being.

We recognise and honour the Traditional Custodians of the lands, skies, waterways, and seas on which we gather today, and acknowledge their continuing connection to Country, culture, community, and story. We pay our deepest respects to Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, wisdom, traditions, and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

 

For over 40,000 years, the Mumirimina people walked and cared for the land where we live and learn. As the first educators, they teach through the rhythm of the seasons an education grounded in rich coastal resources, relationships and connection to Country.  Through ceremony, storytelling, songlines, and shared experiences within community life, the knowledge and values were passed through generations with deep respect and intention.

 

At Little Bee, we are inspired by these ways of learning and being. Our children learn through belonging - to family, to community, to culture, and to place and we recognise the important role educators hold in guiding children’s sense of identity and wellbeing.
