Dirt of The Little Diggers
Our Garden grows… QA2.2.1 Healthy eating is promoted and food and drinks provided by the service
are nutritious and appropriate for each child. As well as teaching about sustainability and self help skills.
First the children harvested snow peas and beetroot form our garden. Then they washed and prepared
the beetroot to cook. While this was happening, some children helped to cut carrot sticks. Thanks to Edi
for contributing to this experience learning about healthy choices, by providing the carrots and making
a yummy hummus for the children to try as a dip for our afternoon tea.
Our garden is going very well and we have shared our spinach with our Families. Grown from seed and
cared for by the Children and Educators of Little Diggers. Thank you to Brittany for bringing in a spinach
dip and carrots for the children to share. We enjoyed it.
Q.I.P. QA2.2 Healthy eating and physical
activity are embedded in the program for
children. Natalie recently attended a
Munch and Move training which focused
on the Fundamental Movements. Natalie
has shared some new ideas to have the
fundamental movements as part of our
everyday practice, for example pictured
below - playing the galloping game.

sensorymotor skills and movement
patterns. LO3.2k Show enthusiasm for
