Today I was invited to Parliament House for morning tea. Hon.Lucy Hood MP (Minister for Education, Training and Skills) with Hon Mira El Dannawi MLC hosted a morning tea for Early Childhood Educators Day, inviting people from different parts of the sector. There were three speakers and a chance to network.
It was also lovely to catch up with a past parent from the service, who was at the service when I first started almost 10 years ago.
As we were leaving we had a politician show us around and into the chambers. And for those that know me, one of the highlights of the morning was the scones jam and cream 😂 (and Parliament House built out of LEGO)

Today is Early Childhood Educators Day.
Every weekday, a group of hardworking educators come and educate and care for the children that attend our service.,
This role is not a job that you can 'just do'. It is undertaken with a large dose of passion.
I have been so thankful to work with the educators at Rose Park Community Childcare (RPCC) for the last 9.5 years. I am grateful for your dedication to RPCC, your care for the children, your inventiveness in all of the amazing provocations that you create, the knowledge you impart., the team work you show and your willingness to learn and adapt.
The industry has changed so much in the last few years. The fact that you continue to come day in and day out, is a testament to you.
Thank you for everything you do 🥰

Stemming from individual children's interests of digging in the garden, using excavators and trucks in play, our connection with the natural environment, the seasons and planting seedlings gifted by families, the Kuula children planted today.

Those that wanted to join in, had a choice of how they interacted with the experience. Resources to choose from included diggers to dig the soil, spades, watering cans and of course, the seedlings and seeds.

Each child took a different role and throughout used expressive language of what they observed "dat plant is small", "dat plant is bigger", many special moments of communication and engagement

We have been very excited to see the arrival of Spring and now we await the process of growth as we care for country together.

Thank you to The Coffee Run - Head Office for once again providing the children's special people with a coffee this morning, on us.

We continue to embed and recognise that all families come in different contexts, structures, and gender identities.

What a great way to start the day 🌼☀️☕

Is everybody else excited to have sunny days in rainy old Adelaide? Spring is just around the corner and we aren't complaining about that!

Georgia and Maddy venture to the post box with a couple of our little ones from the Kuula room. Helping leadership (office) while also linking with the local community. Win win really.

And here we are, the Kuula team, dressed as the The Children's Book Council of Australia Symphony of Stories characters.

We had from left to right, Em as Phineas, who loves to play all the flowers in the garden. Maddy as Taco, a tiny mouse with a big heart and his new drum. George as Prince Polliwog, who comes from a long line of royal singers. Ky as Pip, a piccolo piper who hates pickled peppers, but loves handmade tassels and coordinated outfits and Payel as Bearnard, who discovered a passion for classical cello music.

Gathering inspiration from Briony Stewart www.cbca.org.au/symphony-of-stories-characters/ the artist of the characters we dressed as.

Music plays a huge role in our under 2 environment so it was only fitting we create the scene for the children. Talking to families in costume does feel a little crazy, but our role as early educators is to play too. All children across the Service, love to see educators join in and have fun 🥰

The Kuula room supports small business as we use the book "Let's go shopping, GRANDMA" written by Ky's Aunty Sharon Giltrow Author, in our chosen book week texts.

This story links to current learning in the under 2 room, as we have been using experiences and places that we find in our community, through intentional planning and play.

The shopping "dramatic play" area, has been well received by our littles and this story adds a twist, humour and value to learning. Grandma is very cheeky at the shops, just like others that we may know, it is very relatable to the grown ups too! A very fun story, for all.

In The Kuula room, what began with a child's interest in diggers and scooping sand, developed into our creation of the Rose Vale Community.

Through reciprocal conversations between educators and children, the road works and roundabouts began. Questioning children whilst playing we came to the conclusion we needed houses and then people were introduced.

Individual images of our Kuula children were attached to blocks for children to identify and for use during play. (Giving a sense of belonging and identity)
We even have a mayor of Rose Vale 🙂

Our small world evolved along the way as we incorporated other places of interest. Big boxes for heavy lifting and construction. Trucks and little people were used throughout children's play. Many opportunities for child led interest in socio dramatic play.

Today we extended our community as we created a market. With upcycled materials and hand made crochet fruit and vegetables (thanks George) the children engaged with the process and interactions of going to the markets.

Luke and Robbie from Kuma Kaaru came to visit RPCC today.
The children were very engaged to be shown Aboriginal artefacts and possum skins, learning how to sing head, shoulders, knees and toes in Kaurna, dance like a Brolga on a journey to Darwin and then invited Luke and Robbie to play in their yard, showcasing what is special to them.

Building relationships for meaningful learning to take place, as we continue to build connections.
