07/11/2025

Our Education Transition team at the Ipswich Children & Family Centre (CFC) have been doing some deadly work with our little jarjums in the Pre-Kindy & School Starters playgroup.

This group is for our 3–5-year-old jarjums, helping them build confidence and get ready for their big step into Kindy or Prep. Through play, connection and culture, our little fullas and tiddas are learning to yarn, move their bodies, think strong, and feel deadly in themselves 💪🏾🖤💛❤️

Each session the jarjums take part in:

• 🧗🏾‍♂️ Obstacle course – getting those bodies moving
• 📚 Group time – stories, singing and songs
• 🎨 Planned activities – painting, puzzles, writing, cutting, playdough + more
• 🍎 Morning tea together – yarning about our day and building strong social skills

This term, we also introduced lunch boxes so our jarjums can practise opening and closing zips, water bottles and wrappers — building independence the fun way!

🌟 Education Transition Tip of the Week:

If your jarjum is heading to Kindy or Prep next year, remember change can feel big for little people.

✅ Yarn with them about where they're going and what they'll be doing
✅ Attend orientation days or book a Kindy tour together
✅ Join our Pre-Kindy & School Starters group to give them a strong start

Helping our jarjums feel safe, seen, and confident — that’s how we grow strong futures, our way 🌱

💪🏽🏃🏾‍♀️ Deadly Moves with our Elders! 🏃🏾‍♂️💪🏽

Earlier this week, our Elders’ Members Group were up bright and early, ready to get that body movin’ and groovin’ with Daniella (Exercise Physiologist). 🌅✨

They warmed up with some gentle stretches first, then got straight into the strong business:

💪🏽 Bicep curls & Zottman curls
🦵🏽 Seated calf raises & leg lifts
🦶🏽 Heel-to-toe balance work — nice and steady, mob!

Our Elders are feelin’ stronger every session — getting ready to jump on that gym gear soon!

Daniella can even see the difference — some of our Elders stepping up to those heavier weights now. Deadly effort! 🔥

And of course, plenty of laughs, cheeky smiles and big yarns along the way:

• Uncle Robert & Aunty Janelle having a friendly little band-pull battle 😂
• Aunty Elly joined the crew — said she loved it 💛
• Aunty Kaylene staying hydrated like a champ 💧
• Aunties Ruth, Kathy & Judy moving to the beat — proper groovers 🎶

After the workout, everyone had a light feed — crackers with ham & tomato and fresh fruit like paw paw, mandarins, watermelon and bananas. Good healthy tukka to fuel the day 🍉🍌✨

We also had a surprise visit from Nurse Kath from the Kambu Health Ipswich Clinic during her break — popped in for a yarn and check-in 💛

Until we see you mob next Monday —drink plenty of water, and keep cool in this heat. 🌧️🌞💦

📖 Quote of the Day:

“Drinking water is like washing out your insides… it improves the function of all your tissues.” – Kevin R. Stone

Today our Elders were out Laidley way for their weekly yarning, arts and crafts day at the Family Wellbeing Service recreation room — and gee they had a deadly time!

Plenty of painting, country music playing, big yarns, and plenty of laughs as everyone reminisced about the old days and shared cheeky stories 😄

🎨 Creative hands hard at work:

• Aunty Pam painted some cardboard Aussie animals, ready to turn into a mobile next week for one her great-great grannies — how special is that!

• Aunty Ruth made a beautiful colourful glass jar and a hanging Love Heart 💝

• Aunty Rhonda started her painting — but kept it secret ’til next week, no half-finished business here 🤭

• Aunty Kaylene cooked up fried scones with Golden Syrup 🤎 — and they disappeared faster than you could say “yum”!

🍽️ Good tukks for lunch: a feed of three different quiches with fresh salad and coleslaw, followed by a variety of fresh fruit for dessert.
Big thank you to the deadly Family Wellbeing Service mob for preparing and serving our kai today — we appreciate you all 💛

Some of our Elders even tried to give us a fright, rocking up in their spooky Halloween gear — we see you mob! 👻😄

You could feel the focus in the room — deadly concentration and determination on every face. Not a sound could be heard while the games were on… unless someone missed, then they’d reckon they deserved another throw! 😆 Talk about tough competitors, eh!

After all the fun and laughter, everyone tucked into a good feed of Kentucky Fried Chicken — a proper feed after a big day! 🍗💛

Once the tummies were full, our Elders promised they’d make up for it at Monday’s Exercise Session! 💪🏾😂

🏅 Deadly Winners of the Day:
🎯 Quoits: Aunty Janelle
🟢 Bean Bag Toss: Aunty Julie
