Spring has sprung at our SAC Playgroup!

Spring has sprung at our SAC Playgroup!

Spring is here, and the littlest members of our community have been having fun engaging in spring-themed activities. Despite the lingering chill, SAC Playgroup has been making the most of this vibrant time of year, exploring the wonders of nature and embracing the joy that the changing seasons bring.

Little hands have been busy creating minibeast crafts, colourful flower collages and exploring spring-themed sensory trays. These activities not only spark joy but also help develop fine motor skills, enhance creativity, foster a love for nature, improve hand-eye coordination, and encourage problem-solving abilities.

Our group times have included books about spring, new life and the changing seasons. Favourites like “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and “Planting a Rainbow” have been captivating our young audience, encouraging a love for reading. As part of the ‘Words Grow Minds’ campaign, we emphasise the importance of talking, reading, playing and singing with children to support their brain development and foster a lifelong love of learning.

As always, our playgroup is more than just a place for the children to play – it’s a supportive community for our parents, grandparents and carers. Parenting tips are shared, the joys and challenges of raising young children are discussed, and most importantly, connections are formed by both children and adults alike.

SAC Playgroup meets every Thursday from 9.00am in the Out of School Hours Care space, accessible via Angas Street. We warmly welcome new families to join our vibrant community.
