🍪 We are the Brumby Bakers! 🍪
This week, our Pre-Kindy chefs rolled up their sleeves for a culinary baking experience where they created delicious shortbread cookies topped with lemon icing.
After washing their hands and putting on gloves, everyone carefully shaped the dough into their own unique creations before they were baked during rest time. The children couldn't wait to enjoy their homemade treats with a warm cup of milk at afternoon tea! 🥛💛
While the children thought they were simply baking yummy cookies, they were also developing hygiene practices, sequencing skills, fine motor control, independence, and confidence in the kitchen. We think that's a pretty sweet way to learn! 🍋✨

🔤✨ Our Brumbies (Pre-Kindergarten) had a wonderful time exploring a hands-on literacy experience in their courtyard!

Using magnetic sticks, the children searched through the sensory table to discover hidden magnetic letters buried in the rice. As they uncovered each letter, they were developing letter recognition while strengthening their fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and concentration through purposeful play.

Learning is always more exciting when it’s filled with exploration, discovery, and fun! 🌾🧲💛

🐝✨ Our Brumbies (Pre-Kindergarten) and Kookaburras (Kindergarten) recently enjoyed a magical incursion with Soul Khemistry!

Through captivating storytelling, puppetry, and imaginative experiences, the children were immersed in a world of creativity and wonder. It was wonderful to see their excellent listening, focus, and engagement throughout the session.

Thank you to Soul Khemistry for providing such a memorable and inspiring experience! 💛

🎨💛 Our Brumbies (Pre-Kindergarten) have been exploring the Zones of Regulation, learning to recognise, understand, and communicate their emotions.

The children reinforced their learning through a colourful pipette activity, using coloured water to match emotions to the different coloured zones.

Supporting emotional awareness and self-regulation is an important part of helping children grow into confident, resilient learners. 🌈😊

✏️📚 Our Brumbies (Pre-Kindergarten) have been strengthening their early literacy skills by tracing their names and the letters of the alphabet!

As the children recognised and carefully traced each letter, they were building letter recognition, pencil control, hand-eye coordination, and the fine motor skills that provide a strong foundation for future writing. We love watching their confidence and independence grow with every new learning experience! 🌟💛

🌱🥕 Our Brumbies (Pre-Kindergarten) have been busy renovating our Community Garden in preparation for a new season of growth!

Together, the children removed the last of our pumpkin plants, turned over the soil, and discovered plenty of worms and other tiny garden helpers. We explored the important role these creatures play in keeping our soil healthy before carefully returning them to their garden home.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be planting a variety of winter vegetables using a modified version of the Three Sisters planting method, exploring how different plants work together to create a thriving, sustainable garden. Through this hands-on project, the children are developing an understanding of sustainability, plant life cycles, and how living things depend on one another.

We can’t wait to watch our garden—and our little gardeners—grow! 🌿🪱🫛

🔥🏕️ Our Busy Bees (Senior Toddlers) had a wonderful morning enjoying a special campfire experience as part of our camping week! The children worked together to collect sticks for our “fire”. They took turns “roasting” marshmallows, engaging in imaginative play, and enjoying meaningful discussions about fire safety and how to stay safe around a real campfire. This fun experience encouraged teamwork, communication, creativity, and problem-solving while creating lasting memories together. What a fantastic camping adventure! 🤎🔥

Today in our Joeys Room, our junior toddlers enjoyed a busy day exploring the fascinating world of insects! 🐞🐜 Using a sensory tray filled with branches, leaves and hidden insects, the children eagerly searched to discover what was hiding beneath. They quickly learned that moving the branches and leaves made it easier to find the insects, developing their problem-solving skills through hands-on exploration. Each exciting discovery became an opportunity to stop, observe and name the insect together, building vocabulary, encouraging curiosity, and fostering a love of nature through play-based learning. 🌿✨

🎨⛳ Our Pre-Kindergarten Brumbies have been exploring teamwork and creativity through a fun Golf Ball Team Painting experience!

Using paint, paper, trays, and golf balls, the children worked in pairs to carefully guide the golf ball across the paper, creating colourful patterns and discovering new shades as the colours blended together.

This collaborative activity encouraged communication, shared decision-making, and cooperative problem-solving. The Brumbies also enjoyed changing partners and discovering that creating with different friends can be just as rewarding and fun. 💛✨

💛🌈 To celebrate National Best Friends Day, our children took part in a special friendship-themed activity that encouraged teamwork, communication, and connection.

Each child chose a primary colour to paint onto their hand before finding friends to gently rub hands together and discover the new colours they could create. Some children even experimented with mixing three colours together!

This joyful experience sparked curiosity and creativity while providing a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the special friendships we share and the magic that happens when we work together. 🫶🎨
