Uplands Kindergarten
It was interesting to listen to Professor Scott Duncan on The Project on Tuesday 1 February 2022. He discussed his latest research on children's development and one comment in particular interested me. "Dropping the ball".
Scott's research followed children at 2 years and again at 4.5 years. Lack of ball skills was just one factor the team noted. The teachers at Uplands Kindergarten build ball skills into our daily play at Uplands. We see this as a valuable skill for children to achieve - something Professor Duncan no doubt agrees with.

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
