Our Kindy 3 children are constantly engaging with bigger concepts—like numbers—through the world of play. Play is how they make sense of their environment, practise emerging skills, and explore new ideas in a meaningful and joyful way. This week, a sensory-rich numeracy experience brought those concepts to life in the most delightfully messy way!

Numbers from 0 to 9 were hidden inside two buckets of slime, waiting to be discovered. Using their hands or tongs, the children eagerly explored the slime, describing its texture—slippery, sticky, gooey, and squishy. As each number was revealed, the children were encouraged to match it to a corresponding stencil on a number board. This experience not only supported number recognition and fine motor development, but also offered rich opportunities for language development, social collaboration, and early problem-solving. It also opened the door for STEM extensions. Discussions about how slime is made, what happens when ingredients are mixed, or even experimenting with different slime consistencies and tools can build foundational scientific thinking.

Through experiences like this, we see how numeracy, sensory exploration, and scientific inquiry come together naturally in the play-based learning environment—where every squishy scoop and joyful discovery is a step in a much bigger learning journey.

Observation Painting – Celebrating the Beauty of Butterflies
Today, the children engaged in a calming and creative experience: observation painting inspired by butterflies. A variety of butterfly species were introduced, and the children were encouraged to take their time, observe the intricate patterns, colours, and shapes, and then express their interpretations through painting.

This activity not only sparked artistic creativity but also nurtured focus, patience, and an appreciation for the natural world. Each child’s artwork reflected their unique perspective, highlighting their individuality and growing ability to express ideas visually.

Experiences like this promote both cognitive and aesthetic development while supporting EYLF Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners.

Supporting Growth: Ladder Making for Our Snow Pea Sprouts
Today, the children engaged in a meaningful hands-on experience in our garden bed—creating ladders for our snow pea sprouts. As part of our ongoing commitment to fostering respect for our environment, the children were invited by Miss Alana to help construct supports that will guide the snow peas to grow upwards, ensuring they flourish and can be harvested when ready.

This activity not only encouraged the children to care for living things but also highlighted the importance of sustainable practices. Using eco-friendly materials such as recycled pop sticks—instead of plastic zip ties—offered an opportunity to explore environmentally responsible choices. Through this process, the children are learning how small actions can contribute to a healthier planet.

These experiences promote a sense of agency, responsibility, and connection to the natural world, aligning with the Early Years Learning Framework's Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
