Widely observed among more than a billion people from a variety of faiths across India. Diwali is marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and charitable giving.
Miss Polly had a dolly
Who was sick, sick, sick!
So she called for the Doctor,
To come quick, quick, quick!
The Doctor came
with his (her) bag and his (her) hat,
And he (she) knocked on the door
With a Rat-a – tat – tat!
He (she) looked at the dolly,
And he (she) shook his (her) head,
And he (she) said “Miss Polly put her straight to bed!”
He (she) wrote on a paper
For a pill, pill, pill,
"I’ll be back in the morning
With the bill, bill, bill!"
(Optional Last Paragraph)
She went to bed,
And she slept all night,
And she woke up in the morning,
Feeling quite alright!
Miss Polly rocks the dolly looking concerned, she mimes telephoning the Doctor. The Doctor taps his hat and shows his bag, and knocks on the door (or the floor will do!) He looks at the dolly, shakes his head, and wags his finger as he gives his advice to Miss Polly. He takes out his notebook and does a little bit of ‘writing’ to tell Miss Polly what type of medicine the dolly needs. He waves and leaves. Miss Polly then looks very happy because the dolly is feeling much better in the morning!

Every service is required to be assessed and rated for quality by regulatory bodies and self-assessment is one of the most important steps in this entire process. Here is a bit more about the importance of self-assessment in the early care and education context.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
Gay your life must be!
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop Kookaburra, stop Kookaburra
Save some there for me!
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Counting all the monkeys he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
That's not a monkey, that's me!
Kookaburra sits on the electric wire,
Jumping up and down, with his pants on fire.
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch! Kookaburra,
Hot your tail must be!
Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail,
Gets a boo-boo in his tail.
Cry, Kookaburra, cry, Kookaburra,
Oh how life can be!
Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree,
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Laugh Kookaburra, laugh Kookaburra
Gay your life must be!
The Developmental Milestones Posters are from 2 months old to 2 years old and have the milestones for each age group in the Social/Emotional, Cognitive, Language, and Physical Development domains. These are great to display within the learning environment or to use as a reference.
Developmental milestones are behaviours or physical skills seen in infants and children as they grow and develop.
Children can practice cutting in straight lines while creating the lion's mane.
There are different types of behaviour that children can display and sometimes it can be hard to manage, especially if a child is having behavioural issues. This article will help you to develop a behaviour management plan which can be used during the hard times.
