As part of our Pyjama Week last week, the Kinder children enjoyed a cosy and engaging day focused on bedtime routines and healthy self-care habits. 🛌

They discussed about what we do before going to bed and learned some bedtime vocabulary in Mandarin, including 睡衣 (pyjamas), 床 (bed), 枕头 (pillow), 牙刷 (toothbrush), and 刷牙 (brush teeth).

They enthusiastically repeated the new words, practised their pronunciation, and enjoyed making connections between the Mandarin words and familiar bedtime items.

Following their discussion, the children participated in a small group bedtime routine sequencing activity. They carefully cut out the picture cards before placing them in the correct order, such as putting on pyjamas, brushing their teeth, reading a bedtime story, and going to sleep.

The children were excited to share their own bedtime routines and compare their own routines with their friends. This experience supported the development of fine motor skills, sequencing, problem-solving, and early literacy while encouraging children to think about the importance of each step in a healthy bedtime routine.

Earlier this month we had Vince from Aussie Wildlife Displays bring some amazing Australian Animals in for an incursion.
Vince introduced the children to fascinating creatures including snakes 🐍, lizards 🦎, a wombat, a possum, a crocodile 🐊 and a kookaburra.
The children listened attentively as they learned interesting facts about each animal, such as their habitats, diets, and unique characteristics.

Our Kinder children explored a variety of different seeds during their morning learning time on Tuesday. They had a close look at the size, colour, texture and smell of seeds such as carrots, beans, beetroot, tomatoes and parsley. Children used their senses to feel, smell and compare the different seeds, sharing their observations and discussing how each seed looked different. This hands-on exploration helped build their understanding of the characteristics of seeds and encouraged curiosity about how plants grow.

Later, children went outside to plant the seeds in our veggie garden. They carefully placed the seeds into the soil and covered them gently, talking about what plants need to grow such as water, sunlight and care. This provided a wonderful opportunity for children to connect their learning to real-life experiences and develop responsibility for caring for living things.
