Sherwood Community Kindy

🌿 Enrolments are still open for 2027! 🌿

Looking for a community based kindergarten where children can learn, grow, and thrive through meaningful connections with nature?

Our nature-based pedagogy encourages children to explore, discover, create, and develop confidence through outdoor play and hands on learning experiences. As an all weather Kindy, we embrace the changing seasons and the opportunities they bring for learning, resilience, and wonder.

Limited vacancies remain for our 2027 Kindy program. We’d love to welcome your family into our community.

A huge thanks to Tim and the team at Trek Bicycle Company for generously donating bikes for our Community Day raffle! 🚲
Two of our current children were the lucky winners and couldn’t wait to take them for a ride on our Tuesday bike ride. Thanks for helping create such a memorable experience for our young people! 😊

Today we were incredibly fortunate to welcome one of our kindy parents, who generously took time out of their busy schedule as a paramedic to visit our children and bring along their ambulance. 🚑

We are so grateful for this special opportunity. The children were fascinated as they explored inside the ambulance, learned about the equipment first responders use, and discovered how paramedics help people during emergencies.

Experiences like these help children develop an understanding of the important role first responders play in keeping our communities safe. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, answering our many questions, and helping our children gain a greater appreciation for the dedication, care, and bravery shown by first responders every day ❤️🚑

Today the Possum Group enjoyed a fascinating visit from Torin from Bugs Ed, where children explored the wonderful world of insects and mini beasts. We were excited to meet Daisy the Goliath Stick Insect, Remy the Stick Insect, Sally the Spiny Leaf Insect, and Mandy the Mantis!

A big thank you to Torin for sharing his knowledge and inspiring curiosity as children observed, asked questions, and learned about the important role insects play in our environment. 🌿🦗

🎨✨ The Possum Group enjoyed exploring the art exhibition today, discovering different artworks, learning about artists, and voting for their favourite pieces. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate creativity and develop observation and thinking skills. 🖼️💛

The Art Sale and Exhibition is open 10–15 June, 9:00am–4:00pm, and 16 June, 9:00am–12:00pm. Be sure to stop by and enjoy the amazing collection of artwork on display!

A meaningful learning moment in our kindy space today as the Possum group discovered one of our spiny leaf insects had died overnight. The children took time to observe carefully, reflect on its life, and talk together about growth, change, and life cycles in the natural world. They then captured their learning through detailed observational drawings, noticing its leaf-like body, spiny legs, antennae, and intricate markings.

This experience followed on from recent discussions in our Magpie group, who earlier in the week respectfully buried a bird they had found, supporting children to understand that all living things have a life cycle, and to respond with care, curiosity, and respect for nature 🤎🍃
