Kaya Families!

This week, we continue to come together to learn, reflect, and take meaningful steps towards reconciliation.

At Nido Early School QV1, we are committed to fostering respect, understanding, and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories.

At Nido, reconciliation is not something we focus on for just one week each year. It is embedded throughout our curriculum, daily practices, and environments all year round.

Through meaningful learning experiences, storytelling, connections with Country, and the inclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, we support children to develop a deep sense of respect, belonging, and appreciation for the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn, nurture and play.

Guided by the Noongar principle of Danjoo Koorliny (walking together), we are united in our commitment to building a more inclusive future for all.

Community excursions provide children with meaningful opportunities to learn beyond the classroom, and today our Toddler children enjoyed an exciting visit to the City of Perth library.

The children explored a variety of books, participated in storytelling, and confidently explored the library alongside their educators. Experiences like these help support early literacy, communication, confidence, and social development while fostering curiosity and a love of learning.

With petals, leaves, and water, the children were invited to mix, pour, and create, engaging their senses through touch, smell, and sight.

These moments of exploration support creativity, fine motor development, and a sense of calm as children connect with nature.

Many children engaged in filling, pouring, and experimenting with the bottles and cups discovering new ways to use the materials.

We loved watching their curiosity come to life as they experimented, shared resources, and worked alongside one another

Where are your roots? What is your families boodjar/land? Where have you travelled to within the world?

With the continued input from our beautiful moort/family community, we have been adding to our world wall for almost a year now. This new approach to documenting where we are from, originated from a question asked by a Kinder child - "Where is your mongolia?"

Representation is crucial in the early years, as children learn their origins, as well as forming connection to the boodjar/land on which they grow. Our friends adore a trip down the hallway to visit their teachers, friends, and colorful flags of the world 🌏🌍🌎
