We had so much fun taking apart an old Dyson vacuum cleaner this arvo. So much discovery, hypothesise, inquiry and fine motor skills required. Some if the children then wanted to turn the parts if the vacuum into a robot. We think he looks pretty awesome!!

We had some super cute visitors at burrows today. Vanessa is hand raising these ducklings after they were rejected from their mother.
The children learned all about how to care for the ducklings, becoming more aware of some of the responsibilities of being a pet owner. This led to the children sharing their own experiences looking after animals, creating a connection between home and the centre.

Recently Allie brought in her wood burner to create this wonderful sign for our worm farm. The children added to the sign by drawing pictures of foods the worms can and can't eat. These were laminated and added to the sign next to either a cross or tick. This is a great visual for the children and gives them a sense of agency as they can see how their work is valued.

I (Heidi) recently won a grant to attend the ACEL (Australian Council for Educational Leaders) Early Childhood Conference on the 9th and 10th of August.
The conference was an amazing opportunity to be inspired and connect with industry organisations, influential professionals and other educators from across Australia and beyond.
I came away with so much information and so many ideas!
Part of winning the grant meant that i got to meet the NSW minister for early childhood education Sarah Mitchell and have my photo taken with the other grant recipients. It really was a wonderful experience :)

Drought Conversations
With ideas from families and children we have come up with a great idea to help out drought ridden areas and farmers in NSW.
We are asking families to bring in their recycling to Burrows. We will then take these recyclable to the ‘Return and Earn’ recycling depot near the high school. All of the money collected will be donated to the ‘Buy a Bale’ charity.
The depot will take recyclable plastic, glass, and aluminium. All original labels must be on the containers (the machine scans the barcodes).
No wine bottles, no spirit bottle, and no milk containers will be accepted by the machine.
For those of you who don’t have and recyclables to bring in, you are welcome to bring in non-perishable items to donate to the farmers.
We will leave the donation box near the front gate of Burrows.
Thank you in advance for your participation towards this great cause :)
Written in collaboration with the children and Educators at Burrows
