Bulleen Preschool

One of our favourite times of the year is when the mandarin tree is full of ripe, delicious mandarins.

Tree climbing: The children assess risks, solve problems, and challenge themselves physically; they build independence and learn to make safe decisions within a supported environment.

During Reconciliation Week the children have been learning how to use Aboriginal symbols in their art and story-telling.

"The circles are part of the land, the stones."

"This is my daddy, this one is me and this is my mummy. We are going to do hiking. This is the path to go. I saw lizard footprints."

"Mine is all about the moon and stars and Earth."

We read the indigenous book Cunning Crow by Gregg Dreise, which teaches us about envy, acceptance and feeling proud of who we are. In the outdoor environment children engaged in dramatic play wearing colourful bird wings.

May 11- 17 is National Families Week and this year's theme is Every Family, Everywhere.

Last night we recognised National Families Week by welcoming our community to kinder for "Family Night."

It was lovely to see the children so excited to share the wonder of kinder with their families.
