🦆💦 Feathered Fun in Classroom 5! 💦🦆

This week, our little learners continued exploring farm animals with feathers through a duck pond sensory experience. The children discovered where ducks live, listened to the sounds they make, and explored the soft texture of feathers.

Dressed in their special water suits, the children splashed, poured, squeezed, and mixed water as they immersed themselves in hands-on learning and sensory exploration. Through these experiences, children developed their curiosity, coordination, and understanding of the world around them while having lots of fun.

Celebrating National Reconciliation Week

This week, the children explored the importance of caring for Country through a meaningful nature walk around our playground. Together, they collected native leaves, seed pods, bark, flowers, and small wooden sticks while learning about how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the Traditional Owners of the land, have cared for and connected with Country for thousands of years.

Through hands-on exploration and meaningful conversations, the children developed a deeper appreciation for nature, respect for the land, and understanding of the rich cultural knowledge passed down through generations.

We are proud to support children in building connections, respect, and awareness during National Reconciliation Week. ❤️🖤💛
