📚🌸 What a beautiful day it was for a walk to the library!
Our children were full of excitement as we made our way there, noticing the beauty of the season with bright flowers blooming and greenery all around. The walk itself was filled with joy, wonder, and rich conversations as the children eagerly pointed out the things they observed in nature.
At the library, each child had the chance to choose a book that captured their interest. They then gathered in small groups, sharing what their books were about, listening to their friends, and exchanging ideas with enthusiasm.
✨ Learning through experience
This outing supported the children’s literacy development as they explored books of their own choosing, helping to build vocabulary and story comprehension. Their social skills were strengthened as they took turns, listened respectfully, and expressed their ideas during group discussions.
The walk to the library also offered a meaningful way to observe seasonal changes, enhancing both language and cognitive development as they described the natural world. Allowing each child to select their own book promoted independence, confidence, and decision-making skills — all while fostering a love of reading! 💛
🍵✨ Last week, our Kindy 4 children enjoyed a delightful Tea Party Role Play using a beautiful china teaset purchased from an op shop just a couple of weeks ago.
Miss Danielle and the children set up a lovely tea party table together. The children took turns taking orders, pouring water into cups, dipping tea bags, and sharing their “tea.” They measured carefully so that everyone had the same amount, showing wonderful cooperation and fairness. 💛
The teaset was very fragile, and it was wonderful to see how gently and responsibly the children handled each piece. They showed great care and respect, ensuring that nothing became broken while still fully engaging in the play.
This special experience encouraged social interaction, imaginative play, and turn-taking. Each child had the chance to pour, serve, and share, building their communication skills while also strengthening fine motor control.
It was heartwarming to see the creativity, conversation, and responsibility flowing around the tea table — such a joyful way to learn through play. 🌟
🌞 Earlier last week, with the sun shining, our Kindy 3 children spent most of their learning experiences outdoors. The beautiful weather created the perfect setting for play, exploration, and discovery.
🐝 One of the highlights was a bee exploration activity on the tuff tray. The children enjoyed scooping and pouring sand into wooden honeycomb-shaped cups, carefully placing toy bees on top, and engaging with a variety of resources that sparked curiosity, creativity, and imaginative play.
🤝 This shared experience gave the children opportunities to connect with their peers, practise teamwork and cooperation, and strengthen their fine motor skills while having fun together.
🎨 The Explorers joined the Adventurer’s Friends for a wonderful painting experience!
Together, the children decorated the honeycomb with brushes and sponges, adding bright and cheerful colours. 🐝 This shared project encouraged teamwork and collaboration, as the children worked side by side to bring their ideas to life.
The activity also supported creativity and self-expression, while strengthening fine motor skills and focus. 🌟 The children were proud to see their contributions come together in such a vibrant display!
